Q: Hi, I have owned McGraw Hill on the NYSE in US$ for several years and am hovering around a 300% increase (not including dividends). I'm fine to keep it as a steady-eddy but am thinking of selling half to buy DIS, especially before Star Wars is released in December. What do you make of that plan?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: I have a large cash position and I am giving consideration to purchasing VCE Vanguard FTSE Canada Index and and VFV Vanguard S&P 500 Index rather than purchasing individual stocks based on the premise that generally indexes outperform managed funds and are less costly to manage. I would buy 60% VFV and 40% VCE. Would appreciate your opinions. With thanks, Bill

Q: I would like to get dividend income from non-Canadian sources to diversify. Is this possible, I am not sure how that works from a tax point of view. Do you have an opinion on the above Global X SuperDividend ETF. Am I right to think that in a low growth period moving forward, that dividend income will become even more attractive. Thanks, Kristine

Q: MTSN.US

Seeking either strategic advise or psychological help in deciding to sell or continue to hold MTSN-Q.
It is currently down 50% in my growth portfolio ...hardly meeting a growth expectation.
On one hand I do need need to sell except maybe to put the remaining money to better use. But I find this glaring loss annoying every time I look at the portfolio.
Is there a chance this market sector will make a come back in the next six months and the stock could recover? Or I am I better off putting it behind me.

Q: Dear Peter and co.
An analyst I follow just recommended waiting for a very low-ball entry point on FCX, believing it may fall below $7 a share. He gave a similar recommendation for AEM (Agnico Eagle).
I would like your general outlook, as well, do you feel these miners have lucrative holdings? Is management in a strong position if precious metals were to fall as dramatically as he has forecasted?
Thank you
