Q: Hello Peter and Team, I,m wondering if it is time to take profits on my U.S. stocks as two of these are up over 100% and the others between 30 and 50%. Also the currency gain of almost 25% I receive over 2000.00 U.S. in dividends per year for an investment of around 80,000.00 U.S. This is in my cash account so I imagine I will pay a fair amount of cap. gains tax. Thank you Herb

Q: Ben Cheng (Aston Hill) was on BNN yesterday and chose this as one of his Top Picks. Despite a high valuation, he felt it was not over-priced and that it was poised for very good growth. He further commented that the managers are very good operators who have excelled at integrating their acquisitions. Acknowledging that your focus is not US stocks, I nonetheless value your opinion very highly. I am looking to add something relatively stable (i.e. med. risk) to a US RRSP portfolio, with a 2 year timeline on it, sector being relatively unimportant, as the portfolio is well diversified. This caught my eye, especially given the North American penchant to store up everything they can lay their hands on: in and of itself, exclusive of the company, I would think this is a huge growth area. Thanks for your advice.

Q: Which of these two funds should I select? Given the free-fall of the Canadian dollar, I am inclined to go with the zsp.u (US dollar denominated). Then again, perhaps I should hedge my bets and buy both in equal amounts!!
Your reaction please.

Q: Carnival Cruise Lines, is the parent company to several cruise companies including Cunard, Seaborne, Princess, Holland America etc. An investor holding at least 100 shares is eligible for a shareholder benefit (reviewed annually)in the form of an On-Board Credit of up to US$250 which I believe is a tax-free benefit.
