Q: Peter and team - a question about the model portfolio which is a great addition to this great service. In the portfolio there is quite a bit of sector diversification away from the traditional big three in Canada: financials, energy and materials, in fact, there is very little energy (other than energy infrastructure) or materials. Given that, how much exposure (on a percentage basis) would you recommend someone have in their RRSP to the US market which is typically done for exposure to US consumers, staples, healthcare, etc.? Some of the portfolio choices are obviously geared to this market such as MG and STN. Would there be particular sectors to focus on or would a great company like Berkshire for all of one's exposure fit all or most of the bill? Thanks for your help!

Q: Peter and team - looking at your model portfolio I am not sure if I should make some changes into the companies that you have recommended or not. I know that we can't own everything but Open Text and Descartes Systems Group are also solid companies that you have positively commented on in the past. Also, MDA is a great selection. Would switching out of these in favour of CSU, ESL and SYZ be good decisions? Thanks!

With all the corruption on Wall Street how can you believe any of the numbers?

Q: Hello - Re: my question on CGR vs ICF. CGR is a global fund which tracks the Cohen and Steers Global Major Realty index.ICF is restricted to N.Am. and follows the Cohen and Steers Major Realty Index (no Global component). This explains the difference in performance. Sorry for the confusion.
