IMO, VEA + VWO provides all the world ex-US exposure that a Canadian investor needs. Thanks for the post idea. I'll add it to my list.

What are you thoughts on the (VEU) All World Ex-US. I think this ETF started up in 2007 so it's fairly new, however do you think this would be a justifiable replacement for the XIC,VEA,VWO? I will be setting up an mix of ETF's in the near future and would like your input on the (VEU). Maybe this can be a future topic for posting. Thanks, CC,

The significant additions were VTI and VEA. Yeah, so far the YLO buy is looking good but so many stocks are up sharply over the past few days. MG: I added just a little bit of YLO.
