Q: Hi,
I am looking at setting up RESPs for both my children (both under 3 years old) and would like to set up the following asset allocation:
Cdn Equity 30% US Equity 30% Int'l Equity 30% and Fixed Income 10%
At 9 years old I would start converting more into fixed income.
No commissions are paid on ETF purchases.
I am comfortable with an aggressive approach.
I have two questions, if I may:
(1) Do you agree with this asset allocation strategy?
(2) Which ETFs (TSX only) would you recommend for each of these categories if you were buying in the next 3 months.
Thank you

Q: TN.UN True North Apartment. Although not alone TN has been swooning of late. Looking over past Q's I noticed you were waiting for the financials to assess the recent purchase. This looks like a classic 'cookie jar' stock. Great yield! Is the market going to slap my hand for buying it now? Should I wait one more Q?
Q: It's said that a buy time could be on a 10% index correction. Would that apply to individual stocks as well as the index. If so, that may make selected energy stocks a buy now.
Q: RE ACQ - you still have this stock rated a "B" which suggested to me it was a buy and as long as your rating has not changed, it still should be. I am down 25% since my purchase of ACQ while the market is down far less in percentage terms. Has anything changed in your ACQ analysis that we should have known about? Thank you

Q: I need to add US and International Exposure to my locked in account. It is currently 60% cdn equity and 40% bonds and gics. I want to have fixed income remain at 40%. I want to reduce Canadian equity to 40% and add 12% US Equity and 8% other international equity.
1 Would ishares Core S&P Index (XSP) and ishares MCSI EAFE (XIN) index be appropriate?
2 Both are hedged to the Canadian $. Is that the best way to go? If the Canadian $ strengthens by 10% what effect can I expect to see?
3 Should I make this change in equal purchases of 1/3 of each index over 12 months?
Thanks for your help and great service

Q: Hi 5i: In past you have expressed a favorable view on Ship Finance (SFL). Yesterday they announced that a proposal for a capital reorganization failed to get enough votes at the company’s general meeting and was defeated. The stock has been falling very recently (with the market) and is down again today (Tuesday) on above average volume. Can you please comment on the capital reorganization proposal, the recent trading activity, and update your view on the company. Thanks!
Q: Team - with the recent pullback, COS, FRU and BTE are looking interesting to add to a portfolio for both income and perhaps over the mid to long term some capital appreciation also.
