Q: Hi Team,

I have the following Allocation:
08% Growth Portfolio
17% Balanced (Model Portfolio)
45% Income Portfolio

This makes a current 70% in Canadian Companies and 30% in cash. The Stocks are held in RRSP portfolio, and I would like to put the remaining 30% into Non_Canadian Dividend/Growth Income area. Can you recommend which ETF's might be able to round out the remaining 30% for me?

Q: I owned this company a couple of years ago and after a long period of non-performance, I sold it. Last July it took off but now again seems to have gone into neutral - perhaps for another 3 years? This company would appear to have a bright future - global reach, new pilots that require training on new planes and to replace the aging (retiring) pilots and some growth in their medical division. Is this one of those companies that just will never be a great grower or do you think that maybe its time has come? I am already invested in the aeronautics space with a US company (Heico) and EIF so I don't need to buy it but was wondering if you thought there is a compelling case to buy.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I have 2 transportation stocks CP and AC, up 30% and 48% respectively in a very short time. Now they represent 5% each of my diversified portfolio.
Both were an opportunistic purchase since I had no transportation stocks. Do you think I should sell them or there is more upside potential? Industry consolidation in case of CP and AC increasing its cash flow, lowering debt, perhaps paying a dividend (don't sell your winners philosophy)?
