Q: For 2015 it was most beneficial to be invested outside Canada. I calculate the cost of the Euro rose 6%, the Pound 12% and the U.S. dollar 13%.These are major changes. There seems to be a rush for investors to invest even more outside of Canada. In my mind if I look at a U.S. non hedged etf or mutual fund I would need to subtract 13% fx change off the posted return to get a pure equity, apples to apples comparison. Keeping in mind trying to play the fx guessing game is pointless, do you see a real danger in loading up on foreign equities after such quick and substantial devaluation of the Canadian dollar. When the Canadian dollar does turn around there will be significant drag on the non hedged returns.

Q: Happy Holidays. CBM which I hold is one of a few US stocks that I have on my 5i list of US stocks that you endorse. Three weeks ago it hit $55.00 and has been down daily over the last ten days to $48.00. I am at a break even point now. Obviously there must be something causing this steady selling of the stock and hopefully you can enlighten me about what it is. If there is any negativity in the company. Thanks Dennis
