Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hello 5i,

As always, thanks for your sage advice.

I am light on international exposure. I am thinking of adding an Indian and Mexican ETF as both economies are robust and likely have a long runway.
Firstly, would you agree? and if so, could you suggest a go to fund for each.

And if no, could you advise what you think would be a better path?

Much appreciated,

Ralph

Q: Hi
Are you familiar with Treasury Wine Estates (Australian) and if so could you offer any opinion on them. They are trying to position themselves in the higher end segment in the US specifically. I expect this is to overcome the issues/interference they've encountered with sales / expansion in China.
Thanks for any opinion even if it is "Nope never heard of 'em".
Make question public if you see fit.

Q: Hello,
I recently mentioned taking a position in MDLZ for part of my international holdings, not realizing MDLZ is actually US-based. Knowing you don't follow international stocks, are you generally aware of other internationally-based consumer defensive companies listed on a major US stock exchange? I looked at Nestle, but it seems to be only buyable OTC, and I am not too keen on that market. Another thought was DEO, do you see any red flags with it?
Thanks again, Michael

Q: Hello Peter
Any idea why Nu Bank holdings is surging as compared to NVEI, LSPD, PYPL etc. Is it because Warren Buffet owns shares in the company? Is it worth starting a position?

Q: This is a tough year for investors and I think most of us are interested in the optimum timing to sell your losers (to lock in your tax losses) and then perhaps reacquired the same loser you just sold after 30 days. I've never done any such "linked transactions" before and hope to get some guidance in that regard.

I kind of look at the first 15 days of November for such sales and then the first 15 days of December for requiring those shares (if the price is enticing then). What do you think of the two windows I proposed? What do the more experienced investors do in terms of timing in making this sell and then buy back maneuver.

Please advise.

Q: I'm interested in investing in a basket of companies that you think have the ability to increase their dividends even in a recessionary environment. Could you please send me some of your favourite ETF's that would give me exposure to these kinds of companies. If possible could you suggest ones that give me the necessary exposure to:
Canadian companies
American companies
International companies.
Thanks for your appreciated support.

Q: I'm looking to diversify from my US and CA markets to buy some international markets. I noticed that VE, European developed etf, didn't appear in the companies addressed above. Would you prefer a developed Europe etf or a Japanese etf at this time? Do you think Japan has a higher growth rate vs potential loss rate than VE? If so which Japanese etf would you recommended? Would you consider hedged back to CAD to be preferable at this time?
