Q: Hi,
I have a very large amount of money in my RRSP, thank you PIR., instead of trying to buy individual companies, or ETF,s in the U.S.and global markets, which could prove difficult to manage on top of my Can. holdings, would just buying BRK.B more or less achieve the same goal, save me money on MER,s, research, and not have to learn new juggling skills!

Many thanks

Q: If you hold the view that in general, world economies are slowly improving, would now be the time to buy into the consumer/discretionary spending area, which I assume have been beat up in the last few years. Are there ETFs that cover this specific space? Would an ETF be the best way to go?

Thanks.

Q: The US portion of my portfolio consists of CSCO, MCD, UTX, BHP and AAPL (a little bit heavy on the Tech side because of no exposure on the Canadian technology front). I took some profits and trimmed my exposure to CSCO and MCD after nice run-ups and am looking to use the proceeds to further diversify. I'm thinking perhaps a US financial (and really a play on Consumer Discretionary spending) like AXP or a Medical Supplies company like BDX. Or does something else jump out at you as being a nice complement to what I own? Thanks.

Q: Good morning all.
I just heard of this quite new(mid 2011)fund TLF.UN and am wondering what sort of option this fund would be for following the tech sector in the US via the TSX. A Brompton Fund at (http://www.bromptongroup.com/funds/fund/tlf/overview) it pays a nice distribution and has a mgmt fee of 0.75 but I expect the MER is higher. It looks like it is holding 16 positions and is fairly active writing covered calls to boost returns. Does 5i have any knowledge of, insights on or opinions about this fund and would something like QQQX or other be a better vehicle for following the US tech sector? TLF is small and probably not that liquid.
Thank you again for your wonderful service and support!
