Q: Hi,

Just as a follow up to David's question today about building a simple index etf portfolio. I noticed you did not recommend any ex North America exposure. I thought the mantra was 1/3 equity Canada 1/3 u.s and 1/3 outside NA.

Thank you!

Q: I have made some good gains on XCS(24%) and XIC (10.5%) from the market runup from January. Thanks to your article about small caps stocks from last year. Now I am wondering if I should take the gains, wait for a sell off and buy in again. With most of my stocks I never time the market and its all buy and hold but with XCS and perhaps XIC I am considering taking profits. Or mayble I should just take profits from XCS..Note that the holdings are in a registerd account so tax is not an issue. Your opinion is most valued. cheers, Shyam

Q: For an ETF investor with a small portfolio do you see any compelling reason to hold BOTH XIC and CDZ for the Canadian component? Or would one suffice? If so which would you prefer?

Q: Hi, I have these 4 ETFs in my wife's accounts, in approximately equal weights:
XIC
CDZ
VDU
VUN

Does that look about right to you for an ETF investor?

Thanks,
Robert
