Q: hello 5i:
can you comment on the ETF above please? And, can you list the Canadian equivalent, assuming there is one. Would this ETF pursue a strategy you would endorse?
While many have expressed their satisfaction with the service (ditto for me), I'd like to commend Peter on the vision and drive necessary to grow what has become a top notch service. And looking back to the beginning, hasn't it been a fun ride?
thanks, and Merry Christmas

Q: What do you think of an investment in Volkswagen? It seems to be recovering nicely since it's emission scandal. I'm interested in it because of their research into self-driving cars, battery technology and interest in cryptocurrency (IOTA). It seems like a forward looking company with growth potential.

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: 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: Hello Peter,
How do you think the euro zone stock markets will perform compared to the US market over the next 6 months? My only exposure to a European company is Garmin; which i bought after reading your piece , in Globe and Mail. I have done well and am wondering if you have any other recommendations that I can use to add to my Europe exposure?
Regards.

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.
