Q: Good afternoon:
You answered a question about MELI two years ago and stated that you viewed it as "quite risky". Would your view be the same at the current time and current price?
Thank you.

Q: I am interested in some balancing to my overwhelming Canadian holdings.
1. Can you suggest some low MER ETFs to provide US and World (excluding North America)?
2. What do you think of 'fundamental' ETFs compared to those based on 'market cap'? Any suggested names for further research?
The complexity of the expanding ETF field seems self defeating to their intended purpose. Thank you for your guidance.

Q: Hello,

SWKS has been a top pick over the last two months twice by Bruce Tatters on BNN. Unfortunately, I own this stock and it continues to escalate on the down side. I get bits of negative information from my Itrade account about it. However, you will know a lot more about it than I do. Should I take my losses?

Q: I made money on this when it was over $50, and now, after a positive report from the company, it has been dropping like a stone to about $22. I still believe rail will do well, and most of its business is in the US, so maybe now is time to take a half position?

Q: I hold shares in Baxalta and am trying to decide what to do. I don't mind selling into the present market at a fair profit but I note shares are trading 10% under the terms of the offer from SHPG, I presume because few want to hold Shire stock, me included. Shire's price action over the last 18 months is pretty ugly and I show a P&F target much lower than here. Any opinion? Thanks, J.

Q: The market has spoken and even the Heroes have come down sharply.(They haven't become Zeroes like Nortel!!)
Which you think is a good one to buy and put it away? Apple,Google or Amazon? Can't afford to buy all of them even in this down market b/c of their price and the low loonie!
Thank you for your informative answers.
