Q: Please provide me your current opinion on Arcelor Mital (MT-U). Is it worth holding on to for the long run? (I am at the age where both Income or Balanced portfolios look more interesting to me) Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i: I would appreciate your thoughts on FAH.U at this time. Would you consider it a buy. Thank you Barb
Q: Which fund would you prefer ,and why?
Q: Would now be the time to buy Japanese equities? I have read that the Japanese currency is at a 30-year low relative to the US dollar which suggests buying a non-hedged ETF. However the only one I can find in Canada is currency hedged(CJP) an iShares product. And it is traded on the new exchange in Toronto which until today I wasn't aware of. I assume that if one buys the iShares Japan( which one can buy with no currency hedging) in the US that there is a 15% hold-back on dividends which may not be much of an issue. What are your thoughts on buying CJP and is there a Canadian version that is not hedged?
Q: Could you please comment on Baozun, specifically how its merits compare to Shopify?
Q: I'm looking to diversify outside of US/Canadian stocks, as this represents the bulk of my portfolio. Can you recommend any international or developing market etfs? Any international etfs with a value investing model? Thanks.
Q: Is it a good time to to invest in Japan?
If so, which do you prefer? CJP, CJP.A or WisdomTree fund or other?
It would be a small part of my portfolio and for growth.
thanks very much. Helen

Q: Hello,
I was reviewing the data available via TD Waterhouse including Thomson Reuters reports, and compared revenue and net income growth in the past 2 years of Amazon, vs Alibaba vs JD.com (all somewhat in the same industry but latter 2 in China).
My read is Alibaba and JD.com have significantly higher growth in both metrics than Amazon.
Would appreciate your review please and thanks.
