Q: My 27 year old daughter has about $45,000 in a TSFA to invest in ETFs for a 2-3 year time period. Would a whole market ETF such as Vanguard's VRGO or VEQT be advisable?

Q: Hello,
what risks, if any, should an investor take into account when purchasing all their ETF's from the same provider? I am talking about the big guys here such as Vanguard or Blackrock. Since the ETF's are broad based there is no issue that I see with a fund manager making investment decision (are hot or cold) and these companies are large and profitable so I don't really see any risks other than general market performance. Am I missing something?

Thanks,

Dan

Q: Further to your response to Ted this morning about CPX, you should note that they just announced an acquisition and issued subscription receipts at $30.30 - I expect this is a significant factor in today's price drop.

Q: Interesting article in Tuesday's Globe about the SNC sale of Highway 407. Stephen Jarislowsky is against the sale, he thinks it should go to a shareholder vote and feels that the value of the 407 investment will double in 10 years. My question is how can an an investor like myself invest in the 407 and if the answer is no can you recommend a similar investment. Thank You.
