Q: Is it a good idea to have us bond etf in a portfolio. It would allow me to rebalance to us equities in declines etc in the us portion of my portfolio.

Q: Currently I have around 20 percent of my portfolio in US holdings. Given the nervousness of the Canadian markets re NAFTA etc., and the narrow range of Canadian sectors, would it be wise to increase the percentage of my US holdings? Secondly, should I keep the US shares in a sheltered or non-sheltered investment account? Thank you!

Q: Good morning, I have a special cash account which I view more or less as a replacement for a savings account at my credit union so I've focused this account on fairly safe dividend payers with a few growth stocks sprinkled in. I'm planning on selling CGX and will then have enough cash for 3 new positions. In financials I'm thinking of some growth. Would you choose gsy or ecn? In tech. Evertz or ABT? And lastly, Valener,SPB? or Enbridge? Thanks, Rod

Q: Hello Peter,
With regards to the question posed to you for HCG by one of your members, i can relate to the frustration and disappointment that your team did not see it coming. However, at the same time, as investors, we have to realize that you can only advise based on the data you have available. Past data can be used as input to determine Future company or sector trends, but cannot guarantee success as no one can predict the future. I think it is best to focus on how we can avoid such stocks in the future given great metrics in the past (HCG had high ROE, decent PE etc ) and all of a sudden we start hearing issues with the company. Can you please shed light on what investors can watch for to avoid such pitfalls? I am using your service, watch BNN, read newspapers and other letters along with placing stop losses to minimize downside. From what i have seen, it is best to stick to decent paying dividend stocks like BCE, SLF, Banks, etc Growth stocks just seem to have too much hidden which comes to surface later or they are targets for short sellers. Thanks for your valuable input.

Q: Hi, I have Bce,bought at 49,and thinking of selling for a profit. There are a few hold ratings with a lower target price. Could this be just to get you to trade?
Would it be a good idea to take profit or hold for longer term? If I sold I would have to replace it with a dividend stock (similar) with a two year+ hold, any suggestions?
Thanks,Brad

Q: Hi,
In an answer to Bill today you mentioned "some ETFs are specifically designed to own just a few stocks, or hold riskier assets. "
Could you list a few of your favourite examples of Canadian ETFs that fit that description?
Thanks,
Gord

Q: I am hoping this question doesn't count against me (my question allotment) as it is intended to improve further the high quality of your service. I have on occasion been quite impressed with a comment or question by a subscriber. Is it possible to then track other queries and comments made by that subscriber? I think that would be quite valuable
