Q: I am thinking of selling GWO and PWF and replacing them with a 50/50 split of ZUB and ZBK. I would appreciate you thoughts.
Thanks.

Q: Thanks for your answer on ZUB - one basis point for hedging is neither here nor there. However, you refer to the "true" cost of hedging i.e. the efficiency of the mechanism, and I wonder if there is a gradual slippage over time such as you get with the (leveraged?) inverse ETF's where you never get back to your start point. In those cases I believe the slippage is significant over time - enough in theory to make it worth shorting the inverse product. Point is I expect to hold ZUB for some time - years potentially - and would like to hedge but think I have to avoid the cost of extended incremental slippage.

Q: I assume hedging is a two way street - you get protection back to Can$ if the US $ falls but lose the gain associated with a US$ rise, and there is a cost to provide this?? So if the US$ looks strong going forward relative to the Looney is this the best strategy and are there other US banking sector ETF choices. What do you think?

Q: I am currently up 30 to 60% on these companies, all are held in an RSP or RIF account. Would you add, take profits, or sell full position in any of these funds. I have about $20,000 to invest currently in my RRSP and am wondering if it is to late to start a new US position. I am considering facebook or google? Thanks for your input!

Q: With the huge rise in US banks these past couple of weeks, would this be a good ETF to buy to catch any future gains? Is there a different one you'd recommend with upside exposure to US banks? Thanks.

Q: Given today's market and the expectation of a US rate hike, could you identify 5 ETF's that you would be comfortable with to provide safety of principal and income. Thanks.
