Q: Hi Peter et al:
I am looking to invest some money in India. The two etf's that I was able to find are xid and zid. I am looking for mid to large cap value,however BMO states that zid is growth oriented and high risk. I am a subscriber to your etf branch but I couldn't find what I needed there. Also what would you recommend for etf exposure to Europe and the Euro, which I believe will appreciate relative to the cad.
Thanks,
BEN.

Q: With the CEO stepping down and the sale of the Co. I feel I have been snookered. Having waited these 2 years for the turn around to higher sales I thought I finally had a multi year horizon for growth. Between the CEO leaving and the sale is it even advisable to say no to the BO offer? I could only imagine a steep sell off with CEO gone and a successful No. Would like to hear your opinion.

TIA
