Q: Over early morning java, I read in the TO Star that TOY is acquiring GUND. The share price for TOY is like stable, aka no dramatic move, up or down. The purchase of GUND from a private entity seems to be viewed by the street as a yawn. What is your take of this buy of GUND by a favourite position of mine, TOY (thanks to 5iR)? ....Tom

If yes, do you think it would be wise to get in right away or let it marinade a bit before investing?

Q: Thank you for your recent article. It prompted me to finally free myself of some terminal losers (CRH, PHM, VMD, DBO). Long overdue.
I would appreciate your opinion on whether I should also sell BOS, KBL and PLI rather take the long ride to the bottom like I did with Nortel.

Q: Question about INSR- BMO Global Insurance ETF.
Surprised no one has asked out this one, I do not hold any Canadian Insurers directly but good exposure to Canadian and US banks.

This ETF has 10% exposure to Berkshire/ Buffett who has proven the long term benefits of owning insurance companies. What do you think about owning a product like this for long term growth is it worth it or better to put capital elsewhere-add to ZUB?

My main concerns with the space are: interest rates- how long/ high will they go, geography of the fund is it really better to have exposure to some of these countries, over complicating things in the portfolio- too many ETFs overlapping exposures, over exposure to 'financials' already etc...

Thank you!
