Q: I'm going to retire next year and have recently received a inheritance. I have this money in a non registered account. PA is telling me that I need more US and international exposure. I'm looking at ETF's with dividends but being non Canadian holding I will not get the tax credit. Should I still look at dividend ETF's and not worry about the tax? I have a low to median risk for these non Canadian ETF's. I have a diversified group of large cap Canadian stocks to take advantage of the dividend tax credit. Can you give me some names to look at buying?
Thanks Greg

Q: Obviously you would not be very familiar with this company. I'm interested in your opinion on their prospects given the space they operate in. Trades in London.

Q: Hello,

My value screen surfaced Israel Chemicals Ltd. recently. It has quite decent fundamentals.

So how does an NYSE-traded company with $6B (2018) in revenue and a market cap of $18B that is a significant miner of bromine and potash and exporter of fertilizers ... not have any North American analysts following it as far as I can tell, and seemingly low trading volumes? Is it because it is based in Israel and also trades there?

I'd appreciate hearing your perspective. Thanks as always!

I recently asked a question regarding a substitution for vea. You mentionned that a high dividend might be a good approach currently, and you suggested vidy.ca. I was wnting to do this in US dollars, however, and i cannot seem to find the US vanguard equivalent of this etf? Is there one?
Thanks

Q: Thinking of taking a 1/2 position in Japan. On I-Trade they show BBJP with a 9% dividend, but Google Finance has it under 3%. I wondered if Reuters has either of those numbers? Also, wondered if you were going to do this, would you go with Japan or South Korea? Thank you so much…

Q: I currently own ZDI. I would appreciate your views on this ETF as a long-term hold. I am considering replacing ZDI because it has a higher MER, and it is overweight both financials and energy.

What ETFs do you recommend which hold international equities and focus on a dividend growth strategy? Preference is for Canadian currency ETFs, but would appreciate recommendations on US currency ETFs if you feel there is sufficient additional value-added to warrant the currency conversion fee.

Thanks again for this excellent service.
