Q: I currently have little emerging market exposure and would like to move some surplus funds into that sector. The transaction would be in my USD non-registered account. I've been looking at a few ETFs and think that DEM:US would be a good pick as a start. Of course if you have other suggestions please include them with your response.

What should be the maximum allocation to an emerging market ETF given I am retired and this income stream would supplement my pension, LIF and RIF income.

Thank you.

Q: Hello,

In your response to the last question about Sea Limited, you mentioned that the next quarter would be telling as to its ability to grow profits. Can I get your assessment of this company now that it has reported?

The stock drop today has been brutal and I'm at a loss in a registered account, unfortunately. Can I ask what you would do with it? Thanks,

Q: Hi 5i,
I am interested in purchasing HXX to get tax efficient exposure to Eurozone in my NonReg account. The AUM is approx. 95M, Counter party exposue is 24% and the 30 day trading volume is 1,500. Do you see any issues with buying this ETF for the long haul? Is Eurozone a decent valuation compared to Canada and USA markets? thanks

Q: Dear 5i,
If one wanted to get exposure to Japan using either FLJP or FLJH and had a medium to long term view that the Japanese currency was going to get stronger than the US dollar. Which ETF is the best one to purchase for maximum appreciation? I often get confused with hedged and non-hedged products. Can you share any simple rules I might use in future to avoid the confusion. Thanks

Q: WHi Peter,

I read your comparison of Flutter and DraftKings on July 13.

Do the recent results from DraftKings shift the needle significantly for growth as well as profitability making it less risky and would give it the nod over Flutter for a balanced portfolio investment. Is DKNY a buy now?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: After reading your past replies to questions regarding STM, I wonder if you can update your opinion based on news and events since your replies in March and May? The price is higher now but have you also seen increased reasons for investors to look at this? Would it be a worthy buy today or something to wait on and buy only in the event of a pullback?

Assuming you like it, could you compare and contrast the risk and reward between this and something like SMCI? Which would you expect to do better and why?

Thanks

Q: Good morning,

As a follow-up to David’s question in May about CRH becoming listed on a US exchange:
If I buy the current CRH adrs, do they become automatically converted to the US listed shares when the new listing becomes available? Just curious how that would work…

And can I get your current thoughts on the quality and valuation of this CRH? Is it a buy at this price? I’m looking to add to my only other materials stock, which is LIN.

Thank you,
