Q: I would like to increase my investments in foreign, but non-USA situs, companies, by buying ADRs (as my estate would be subject to US estate taxes). Currently, I have smallish positions in NVO (NovoNordisk; Danish) and ALC (Alcon; Swiss), which I am planning to add to. However, I would like to invest in up to three additional ADRs. My approach to investing (over the past 3 decades) is very long term buy & hold (indefinite holds, to bequeath to future generations), so I am aiming for high-quality companies. Can you perhaps provide your thoughts on NVO and ALC, as well as suggest up to 5 additional ADRs for consideration? (I'm not a fan of tobacco or gaming stocks, but generally open to wide spectrum of ideas.)

Q: EVVTY is down 7% this morning. It just keeps getting cheaper and cheaper but fundamentally the company seems very strong with a few issues its been handling. But the earnings this morning looked good, a small miss on rev but EPS beat. I'm thinking the pullback is more about mgmt's comments and expected margin decrease. They increased the div and are buying back more shares, and debt free. Is this more attractive now or do the continued negative issues and mgmt comments still make this a company to stay away from? Thx

Q: Hi Guys

It seems the pressure to increase spending on defense in Europe is overwhelming. One assumes that European nations would much rather spend that money with European defense companies versus US ones. Can you give me your 3 best European defense companies., preferably with US listings. And if possible could you give a statement of how these companies compare to major US defense companies like RTX.

Much thanks

Stuart

Q: I'm looking for a way to invest in Korea given its long term prospects vs the short-term volatility and negativity due to the political events happening in the country. When I look at the RSI for this ETF it's at 30 which indicates it's becoming highly oversold.

I realise Korea growth is forecasted to be slower than the US but I'm looking for a bit of geographical diversification.

Any good ETFs to suggest to play this investment thesis?
