Q: Hi, I have minimal healthcare exposure and am looking to increase my holdings in this sector for diversification. Wondering what your top picks would be in the healthcare space within Canada for the long term? I am interested in either an ETF (XHC,ZUH,FHH) or specific Canadian healthcare stocks).

Q: Hey guys,
Just wondering what your thoughts are on Marathon Oil Corporation compared to a larger company like Chevron. Further to that do you expect that these companies are near the bottom or will it be a while still before we see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Q: You have mentioned MDA,G,CCL.B as Canadian stocks benefitting from U.S. growth. With the BoC rate cut, could you identify any other stocks in your two Model Portfolios that you think will have additional benefit. Are there any that you would now have concerns with given the rate change ?
I don't hold any non-Canadian stocks - do you feel it is sufficient to benefit from U.S. growth this way or would you still recommend buying U.S. stocks direct ? If so, what U.S. etf's would you now recommend, as I have a (more than) full complement of individual Canadian equities. Many thanks and congrats on such great results for 2014.
