Q: Another solution for Kyle is to give trading authority on that account to a Canadian resident before leaving the country. The Canadian can then place orders via telephone still at a discount rate. That is the practice at one major brokerage; I have found that practices and rules can vary widely even among major brokerages.

Q: TFI International has indicated it will be offering 6 million shares for public offer.
Am I correct in assuming it will be at a discount to current market price which will put some short term downward pressure on the stock price?
If this is correct would it be prudent to sell now before the price is announced and buy back in when the "expected" downward pressure comes into play?
Thanks
John

Q: Can you please comment on this fund.. Performance over the past 12-15 months has slipped from its long term averages, and ,according to Morningstar, has been in the bottom quartile of comparable funds.over this period. Based on its holdings and asset mix and performance would you continue to hold this fund? What would be your rationale for your recommendation. If you think that the fund should be sold what would be a good replacement. I currently have a position in the Mawer Global balanced fund so would be looking for another name, Thanks.

Q: Peter, I hold these S&P hedged ETF's in different portfolios. The total fees for HXS are about twice that of XSP and VSP probably due to the swaps. When I look at the performance of these ETF's, XSP and VSP are almost identical, but HXS sometimes lags and sometimes outperforms the other two. I am not sure why that is, can you comment. Due to the higher fees on HXS, does it makes sense to own this ETF in a registered account?
