Q: You answered my question on EWY:us on August 13, 2021. I believe your answer needs to be revised as your observations on South Korea do not reflect economic reality. I recently returned from a business trip to South Korea and found the economy vibrant and its people remarkably hardworking. I still own EWY:us and since your response to my question, EWY has only been going down. Korean industry, especially semis, medical equipment, heavy industries are all humming. Yet EWY including flagships like Samsung, Hyundai &c. are all down. I am reluctant to sell after what I saw there, but ask you : (Diversification is not a sufficient enough reason for me to hold).
Would *YOU* continue to hold? Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

Is there a smart way to hold investments denominated in Swiss Francs that generate yield?

The goal is to diversify some funds to currency in a stable country that isn't printing money unabated like in Canada, the US, and the Euro to avoid loss of purchasing power. Even better if we can be invested in decent stocks or get dividend yield while we are at it.

Thanks!

Q: I am down 21% on BABA and even more down on UPST and AFRM. At this point, with a plan to hold for 3-5 years, would it make sense for me to sell all my BABA and invest in UPST and AFRM. Which of the 2 is expected to have a better upside in 3-5 years? Which of the 2 is riskier?

Q: In my RRSP account, I have SBRCY and LUKOY, which are NYSE-traded ADRs for Russian Sberbank and Lukoil. If the ADRs get delisted from NYSE, will I continue holding shares in these two companies and be eligible for dividends? If the answer is yes, will I still be receiving the dividends through my discount broker (BMO Investorline) or by some other means? TIA!

Q: It’s my understanding that Chinese ADRs listed on the NYSE are in the process of being delisted. I don’t hold any directly but I have ETFs that hold them [IEEE. KGRN]. I’m assuming they will be directly affected. Am I best selling them, or holding them and waiting. How are the ETF companies likely to deal with any Chinese ADRs they hold. I’m sure they will appear in a number of ETFs that are not directly tied to China, for example BYD and BABA. I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for the great service.

Q: Here are two telecom companies...one French and the other Russian. I have herd several experts say that telecoms are not good investments because they always have to reinvest all there free cash and profits in upgrading there equipment and technologies. So is there any advantages in owning them in the next year or two besides the dividend? Would they hold up during a recession? Thanks for your insight which is always helpful.
