Q: what are your thoughts on the Disney Downgrade last week? Especially with what looks to be a big success in star wars so far. Is there alot to be concerned about with weakness in espn subscribers?

Q: Hi 5i: There are actually two questions, which for me are linked. First, could I have your opinion on Adobe Systems. It seems expensive (not surprising) but maybe not so much given good growth. Second, how do you think Disney will fare with respect to the ESPN issue - I have heard differing opinions on the likely impact. I am considering at least a partial switch from DI to ADBE and would value your opinion. Roland

Merry Xmas to all, and thanks for the great help over the last year.

Q: In your response to Marc about the C$, you state ... "If the Canadian dollar rises, you will want to have a C$ hedged ETF". Can you pick a couple of ETF's that could benefit with a bottoming out C$.

Q: In light of the fact there has been no indication of Canadian interest-rate movement, can you suggest a handful of U.S. insurers with decent dividends. And a ETF in that space as well.
Thanks for the great service

Q: I am looking for a Canadian ETF that tracks the Nasdaq and one that tracks the Russell 2000. I am looking for a product that is not hedged to the Canadian dollar. From what I gather this is not available.

Q: Good Afternoon: My question is really currency related rather than Visa specifically. I own a few US stocks including Visa which fortunately for me I purchased when there was not as much difference between the US and Canadian dollar. As a result of stock performance and the difference in currency valuation I have done well. I would like to make a few more US purchases but cant make myself do so with the almost 40% hit. In my opinion some time in the future our dollar will get stronger. Do you have any suggestions or can you recommend Canadian companies or ETF's that I can buy without being so concerned about the currency. Thank You.

Q: Hi Team. I recently purchased Costco to add to my U.S. holdings. BMO (Ford Equity research) just downgraded to a SELL saying Cost will underperform the market over the next 6 to 12 months. May I have your take! It is 2.65% of my total PF and dropping into the red. Thank you ahead of time and because of you I have been able to shave some "winners" from my TFSA (which is up over 70% since April 2014) and pay down my Line of Credit. MERRY CHRISTMAS
