Q: IMPUY Hi 5i another obscure one that is a paladium play. My sources are not very informative so I am hoping you can help with some insight.

Q: Middle East. Thank you for your answer. This is a follow up to that question,
There appears to be a limited number of opportunities in the ME.
However, I understand that some of the Saudis are enormously wealthy. Given that situation is there a BX, APO, BN or BLK kind of company that would offer a positive risk/ reward?
As usual thank you for your help.

Q: With so much media attention recently to the Middle East do you see investment potential there? If so is there one or 2 companies listed in the USA that you could recommend? Alternatively, perhaps you could suggest an etf.

Thanks

Q: I listened to a CIBC webcast today outlining the fact international equities were cheaper then US and possibly Canadian equities based on P/E ratios and are expected to outperform US and possibly Canadian equities in the near term. Interesting sectors discussed were international infrastructure companies, defense, e-commerce and semi-conductors. Could you provide a few Canadian ETF's that would provide exposure to these themes and list you favourite?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hi Peter and team,
European ETFs such as the ones listed above have a relatively high concentration of pharmaceuticals. With Trump's plans to curb such imports to the US, do you believe that this will be a headwind for these ETFs?
Your insight is greatly appreciated.

Q: Can you give some suggestions for Euro exposed ETF's that would hold all or near all their largest best companies. The ETF would preferably have a low MER and could be held in registered account for long term hold.

As always thanks for the great service

Q: Hi there. with the current economic outlook in the US being very uncertain and the dollar possibly weakening as the US economy struggles would you recommend any of these names? VGK, FEZ, or EZU? The idea being to build up a position of 10% of my portfolio over the next two or three quarters betting on Europe continuing to outperform the US. Thank-you.
