Q: Is there any point in holding on to Diversified Royalty any longer? (I'm down 22%). With oil being what it is, and DIV tied to the Alberta economy so closely, it seems this might be a long time in recovering. Its only real "diversity" is Mr. Lube, it seems, because the few other holdings are a few restaurant chains, mostly based in Alberta. Is Mr. Lube enough to sustain this company and see it through the tough times ahead? I was thinking of cashing in, and topping up my Royal Bank stock with the proceeds, with the recent dip at Royal.

Q: Peter, with 100% of my portfolio in North America, I believe I should have some International exposure. China, Russia and even Europe scare me. Chile, on the other hand has a low debt/GDP and a stock market which demands companies to pay a dividend.
Is this fund a wise place to start my foray into International? Any other ETF which you like to diversify geographically?

Q: So the B.E. Model Portfolio has had a cash balance of at least 9% that was deployed Feb. 18. Who knew cash had been building as it has been several years since this was reported in the monthly numbers? Personally I think this would be useful for members to know if cash is being accumulated; for members who want to emulate the p/f's this can be critical information and I urge 5i to add a reporting line for cash held.
