Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I know this bank is out of your territory. However I would appreciate your opinion. I know it has done well in the last year but am wondering what are the odds that it may go higher. I have owned it for a long time. Not sure if I should lock in a profit or take the risk that it will go higher. Thanks...your opinion is always sobering!

Q: Good afternoon all; Given recent market performance can I get your assessment of ASML. It is down on an annual basis and since November, while it has bounced around the price is relatively flat.

I would appreciate some background on why it has declined, it their near captive market expected to increase its rate of growth in the mid term, and if a potential buy, at what price would you get interested in it?

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: Greetings 5i,

I'm looking to decrease some of my US investments and want to sell XUS (I also own VFV). I'm looking at either VIU or XEF as a replacement for XUS. Does this make sense and if so do you have a preference for either of these ETFs or would you recommend something else as a replacement?

Thank you.
John.

Q: hi
do you see any data/signs of money flows out of US markets. I am wondering if there is the start of loss of confidence in the US markets for foreign investors (and domestic) vis a vis the current government?
Further, where do you see money flowing into right now or shortly ( China, Europe/Germany, Canada )?
cheers, Chris

Q: Hi Peter,
For non registered accounts, please advise your best picks for European Equity ETFs that have ample room for growth and can withstand this volatile market. Dividends are not important. I also look for Asia ETFs that have a high percentage of holdings in China and to a lesser degree in South Korea. Please advise of your best picks. Brief explanation of reasoning for these picks is appreciated.

Q: I was overthinking diversification all night long and got to wondering about purchasing foreign stocks. There are 4 solid Australian stocks that are their "aristocrats".

It seems strange that US/CDN markets are interchangeable yet I can't find how to even buy something listed on the .ASX ( not so simple for Wealthsimple)

Given diversification is so important, do you purchase foreign stocks directly? How so?

I understand that tax treaties and commissions may make the issue pointless. But money is money. Even if it's EUROS or Aussie dollars. Curious about your experiences.

Thanks for all you do
