Q: Hi Peter and Team
What Canadian listed ETF would you recommend today for US market exposure for the TFSA of a thirty year old with a long term time horizon? Would your answer be any different if it was for an RRSP where the 15% US withholding tax was not an issue? There seem to be hedged and nonhedged versions of all of them so would you recommend a hedged version now with the USD so strong?
Thank you!

Q: I have owned WFC for a couple of years and purchased it because it was considered to be the best in class by some (Warren Buffet) although its reputation has been tarnished in the last few months. I know you have always preferred JPM. Would you endorse a switch over to JPM or does WFC still provide a pretty reasonable upside in your opinion?
Appreciate your insight.

Q: I'm considering buying some GILD.My portfolio is all CDN stocks so it should benefit from some diversification and I feel US stocks may gain some strength under Trump.Obviously GILD is very cheap which reminds me a little of Concordia when I bought what I thought was an undervalued health care stock only to watch it nose dive.I also noticed a few reputable investment firms loading up over the last 2 months.My other choice was to buy PBH which is a great company but very expensive.What are your thoughts on a very cheap GILD which adds some diversification vs a fairly expensive PBH which is currently performing much better? I find i'm more of a GARP than a value investor but I appreciate getting a great stock on sale.

Q: I have Ryan's read excellent article dealing with the impact of the US election on Canada.
However, I am somewhat bewildered by recent market activity - especially on the downside here in Canada.
The opinion has been expressed that interest rate incrases are/were already baked into the market. Can you quantify that in any way? e.g. 3-5%; 1-2% .... to what degree they are "baked in".
The reason I ask is that, it seems like all the media had to this week was mention the likelihood of inflation driven interest rate increases in the USA and sectors here like utilities and REITS took it on the chin.
How much more downside can we expect given the impact of just a few words about possible Trump moves to drive the USA economy when the decision(s) are made to actually increase rates in the USA?
Could this downward pressure be magnified if, in addition, we see US corporate taxes reduced and see some companies start to shift production to the US.
How likely is it that we are facing the prospects of a signicant bear market lasting a few years here?
Or is this a knee jerk reaction right now like Brexit that will likely reverse itself over the next few weeks?
Any light you can shed on this will be greatly appreciated.
