Q: I have been working on my sector allocations in my portfolio.
I at present have no US exposure and no US dollars to purchase stocks. I recognize that you recommend approximately 30 percent exposure in the portfolio to the US. Should I use Canadian dollars at this time to purchase US stocks or US etf's. My concern is the effect on my portfolio if the canadian dollar starts to rise.
In my research I have come across the suggestion to purchase 3 canadian stocks that take advantage of the drop in the canadian dollar and drop in the price of oil. (EXCO, WINPAK, and SJ) Should I purchase these stocks now and wait til the rise of the canadian dollar value to purchase my US portfolio?
Your guidance is greatly appreciated.
I know that you can not time the market and that is not my intention. I'm just trying to implement diversification.

Q: It sounds like the Growth Portfolio will have around 25 stocks, a few more than the other portfolios. I know diversification is needed to reduce risk, and am wondering if a large number (30?) of smaller cap names could ever provide the same risk level as a 'standard' portfolio of 20 securities. Would you ever suggest this type of strategy? Thank you for a great service!

Q: I have been around the block a few times on the question of fixed income in asset allocation. I have often wondered about Warren Buffet's famous advice to his wife on his death--that she should buy an ETF for the Amercian market and 10 per cent in fixed income. I have always wondered why the 10 pecent in fixed income? It doesn't protect very much of your wealth if there is a downturn. But, then again, neither does 20 or even 30 percent, I would think. So, it occurred to me that he suggests this simply in case there is a downturn and cash is needed. He doesn't think that you will likely need more than 10 per cent to get over the hump. I know that, despite your other talents, you are not a mind reader. But, do you think that this would be a reasonalbe interpretation of Buffet's advice? And reasonable for at least a good many people?
thanks
