Q: Good morning,

I have been reading many more articles recently regarding the macro trend toward organic and non anti-biotic raised food. Major food chains such as A&W (thanks very much for the investing idea!) and now McDonalds (large restaurant chain in the world) offering meals with non anti-biotically raised animals.

Can you please provide your perspective on this as well as the best way for an individual investor to participate in this macro trend. Please provide best equity or other opportunities in this space either in Canada or in US.

Thanks as always for the independent perspective you provide!

Q: Hi Peter
I'm trying to find an ETF called "ishares trust Shs s&p GSTI technology index fund (IGM)" mentioned in the Globe today (Monday) as an upgrade. The only IGM I found was a financial company. I assume they are not the same company. Are you able to help me? If so, what do you think of this ETF.
many thanks.

Q: Hi, I have owned McGraw Hill on the NYSE in US$ for several years and am hovering around a 300% increase (not including dividends). I'm fine to keep it as a steady-eddy but am thinking of selling half to buy DIS, especially before Star Wars is released in December. What do you make of that plan?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: I have a large cash position and I am giving consideration to purchasing VCE Vanguard FTSE Canada Index and and VFV Vanguard S&P 500 Index rather than purchasing individual stocks based on the premise that generally indexes outperform managed funds and are less costly to manage. I would buy 60% VFV and 40% VCE. Would appreciate your opinions. With thanks, Bill

Q: I would like to get dividend income from non-Canadian sources to diversify. Is this possible, I am not sure how that works from a tax point of view. Do you have an opinion on the above Global X SuperDividend ETF. Am I right to think that in a low growth period moving forward, that dividend income will become even more attractive. Thanks, Kristine

Q: MTSN.US

Seeking either strategic advise or psychological help in deciding to sell or continue to hold MTSN-Q.
It is currently down 50% in my growth portfolio ...hardly meeting a growth expectation.
On one hand I do need need to sell except maybe to put the remaining money to better use. But I find this glaring loss annoying every time I look at the portfolio.
Is there a chance this market sector will make a come back in the next six months and the stock could recover? Or I am I better off putting it behind me.

Q: Dear Peter and co.
An analyst I follow just recommended waiting for a very low-ball entry point on FCX, believing it may fall below $7 a share. He gave a similar recommendation for AEM (Agnico Eagle).
I would like your general outlook, as well, do you feel these miners have lucrative holdings? Is management in a strong position if precious metals were to fall as dramatically as he has forecasted?
Thank you
