Q: Now that the Brexit vote uncertainty has diminished a bit, would it be a good time to add to European market exposure? Presently hold ZWE for income. Would you add to ZWE or open a position in another etf? If so, which etfs would you recommend for income? Which for growth? Possible ZDI ?Looking at 2-3 year time frame. Many thanks for the terrific service.

Q: I am reviewing my HCG holding and need help with a few metrics. The LTD, while it has come down is still at $41/share ($2.9b/70m). Is this a level of debt that one should be concerned about? Also expected earnings growth of 7%($4.11-4.70) does not seem great over the next 2 years. Finally despite the recent share buy-back, total shares appear to have grown 69 to 70 million. I have taken these numbers from RBC Direct.
Your comments as usual are appreciated.

Q: The following is a list of stock that I own showing the losses of each. Alta Gas(ALA) 32% Loss - Enerplus (ERF) 64% loss - Exco Tech(XTC)15% Loss - Gluskin (/GS) 32% loss -Painted Pony(PPY) 27% loss - Pur Tech(PUR) 27% loss and Surge(SGY)68% loss. Losses shown include dividends but I think all these companies have cut the dividends since I purchased them years ago. Question: Would you keep these or sell them now and purchase other stocks with better dividends. ? If you think these should be sold could you recommend a few. Thanks Ernie

Q: Could I get your opinion of the new BIP.UN preferred issue (series 5, reset with floor of 5.35%)? Would you agree with the S&P rating of P-2 low? I already hold both BIP.UN and BEP.UN in the Brookfield group. What would you consider to be the maximum percentage (based on total portfolio value) for BIP.UN + BIP pfd, and would you include BEP.UN in the total or view it as completely different, regardless of ultimate ownership?

Thank-you
