Please indicate the general overall differences between the FTSE, MSCI & STOXX indexes. I realize there are many sub indexes for each these. I am not requesting any info on those. I am looking only for a macro summary and your order of preference for a conservative retail investor.

Q: When lookking at the ROI over 3-5-10 years. The S&P has always done better than the others. When looking at the strength of their economy and the investment that US companies put in R&D how are they gonna loose their 1st position as a super economy power? and foremost and this is the question: Why invest elsewhere? Canada with merely 5% of the world economy? Europe has been lagging since I started investing 40 years ago where else? China? gotta be kidding. Seriously why spread our investments worldwide when the best is our neibours? Just buy the S&P and wait still forever.

Thanks

Q: I have owned Flutter for some time and am generally pleased with its performance. I am wondering if you are still positive on the name and if you see good growth potentail ahead. If so, what makes you bullish (or bearish). Finally do you see the listing of Fan Duel as likely to happen and is it a strong catalyst that gives us another reason to continue to hold beyond the basic business performance? Many thanks
