Q: Good morning,

I currently hold SPY, VIG and IWO for US exposure in equal amounts representing 8% of my portfolio. Would you recommend switching to/ or adding to these the specific ETFs that you outlined for tech, consumer discretionary and industrial sectors? Also, what portfolio % might you aim for in US currently.

Thanks.

Q: Seems like the European market may finally be showing some signs of life with stimulus on the way. Can you recommend an ETF preferably on the TSX to play the European recovery? Or do you feel that market is not a good bet right now?

Q: In response to my inquiry about Inspira's loan payments, Michael indicated they come from the US Government. Does he know if they come directly to Inspira, assigned by the borrowing Doctor, or do they go to the Doctor directly who then remits to Inspira?
Thanks for the info.

Q: goodday
In your options strategy i notice that you renew the option or sell another one about once a month. I have heard that others look out to two or three months. I have looked at calm and noticed that on a $60 strike price, you stand to make pretty much the same premium, the feb premium just paying thrr times more than the dec premium. I would like to know if there is any kind of advantage in the once per month option
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter,
Other than positive comments on BNN, what is driving the stock prices higher everyday this week for crh medical, constellation software, and patient home monitoring. Do you think investors are just using BNN as a trading vehicle for stocks as opposed to looking at long term ? Also if you had prioritize your investments between constellation, Eng house and CGI group, how would you rate those? I was thinking 5% weight for constellation, 5% for Eng house , and 2 percent for CGI group. Please provide your view. Thanks again.
