Q: I have held VB(NYSE) in a RIF for approx.2 yrs. Including the substantial change in currency, I am up about 45%, however this sector has somewhat flat-lined recently. I am thinking of selling this security & would appreciate your thoughts on buying into a medical/pharmaceutical index in the US.

Q: Peter and Team,

If looking for US equity exposure and exposure to US businesses with International earnings, doesn't it make sense to buy Berkshire and simply trim the weighting when it rises in order to "pay yourself."

If seems to me this would leave one with a long term hold of a diversified collection of bluechip businesses and minimize fees because you don't pay a management fee and you don't have to buy a bunch of companies individually.

Any thoughts on this approach?

Q: I have been working on my sector allocations in my portfolio.
I at present have no US exposure and no US dollars to purchase stocks. I recognize that you recommend approximately 30 percent exposure in the portfolio to the US. Should I use Canadian dollars at this time to purchase US stocks or US etf's. My concern is the effect on my portfolio if the canadian dollar starts to rise.
In my research I have come across the suggestion to purchase 3 canadian stocks that take advantage of the drop in the canadian dollar and drop in the price of oil. (EXCO, WINPAK, and SJ) Should I purchase these stocks now and wait til the rise of the canadian dollar value to purchase my US portfolio?
Your guidance is greatly appreciated.
I know that you can not time the market and that is not my intention. I'm just trying to implement diversification.

Q: Good Day! Recognizing US stocks are not your focus but you seem willing to give an opinion. How do you feel about a small investment in St Joe Co. I am in Florida escaping that Canadian winter and you would not believe the construction that is going on here on the St Joe developments. By far the most activity I have seen in the 5 years I have been coming to northern Florida.

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

For a U.S. ETF in an otherwise balanced portfolio containing many of your Canadian picks, which of the above ETFs would you choose, and why? This investment could be for a RRIF and/or a margin account. (Both of these ETFs are offered commission-free at Scotia iTrade.) Thanks as always for your valuable advice.

Q: Hi Peter,

Again, just a recent subscriber. I noticed last week your response to another subscriber about some small cap US stocks that you might like.

Of the suggestions, I did some of my own research on TCON and MNST and bought positions in both. Tcon is up almost 50% and MNST is up approx 20%. As you suggested they are spec positions so I took relatively small positions in both. Nonetheless those trades alone will pay for your service for the next 10 years

First, thanks for the great ideas.
Second, why don't you guys start a small cap US growth research service? The variety of stocks for you to recommend is extremely broad.
Thirdly and lastly can you suggest any other small cap growth in the US that I can research?

Much appreciative
