Q: With respect to portfolio construction, do you recommend:
a) Weighting each of the 11 sectors equally? (i.e. 9% to each sector).
or
b) Weighting each of the 11 sectors according to their proportion on the index?
If you recommend option b, which index would you use, the TSX or S&P?

Q: I have been a holder of AQN for a fair while and have been very satisfied and even have added to the position on dips. I notice that the "short" position of this stock was increased by 51% as at Jan31/17. I don't usually become concerned by changes in short positons however this increase is considerable. Should I view this as a concern by the so-called better informed?

Q: I took this morning's post-earnings weakness as a chance to purchase Telus, which has been on my "to buy" list for a while. There was a one-time contract issue affecting their profit this past quarter, but they seem on pace with respect to wireless subscriptions, low attrition rates, and dividend increase schedule. I purchased it in my RRSP for a 30+ year hold. Good move?

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,

DH has been slowly creeping up the last few weeks. Have you heard any new developments on the potential takeover or has the gains come from Trump's plan of deregulation of financial sector?

Thanks for the great service!
