Q: hi 5i,
what are you top picks for non-Canada core ETF's for long term hold/accumulation? im looking for US markets, European, Asia, and India. I like very liquid entities, and a dividend is fine. If possible, can you include both hedged/unhedged to $CDN. I notice that most of the unhedged versions of the ETF's have higher annual returns-do you recommend hedging or no hedging for the $CDN?
thanks, Chris

Q: Good Day 5i,
I have been following semiconductor companies in China. Their growth is very impressive. As an example, of the 68 companies latest financial reports, 40 reported over 50% growth. This is largely fueled by internal legacy chip demand, a huge market lost by US sanctions.
Which leads to ask how to invest in the Chinese markets?
Many thanks, Yan

Q: Vale has taken quite a drop since the beginning of the year (now at 5.2x PE). Dividend seems to be highly variable over the last few years. What are your thoughts on the safety of the dividend (seems to pay every 4 months ... are you able to confirm)? How about the payout ratio Do you think the annual dividend can stay above 9% going forward ?

Q: Do you know anywhere I could park some UK Sterling and gain some interest while it sits? Maybe a low cost ETF or something?

Q: I bought FLUT shares when they listed in the US thinking they have strength in being the largest international company in sports gambling. Worried to hear recently that they might IPO FanDuel independently from FAN and thus potentially split the interest amongst 2 stock choices and dilute the FAN price. Notes from today’s strong earnings report stated that ‘ Jackson (CEO) said he had no plans to rename the company FanDuel or pursue an initial public offering of that business, something he once considered’. If that statement can be taken on face value, do you see FAN as being more attractive previous to the earnings and that revised strategy?
