Q: What do you think of Softbank Group? I am not a fan of companies that trade on the "over-the-counter market" but the CEO and Founder, Masayoshi Son, certainly seems to know what he is doing.
Look forward to your observations.
Q: What are your thoughts on the Indian economy for the next 3-5 years. Could you recommend a couple of etfs - one growth oriented and one for dividend growth?
Thanks for all your help.

Q: Can I have your opinion and comparisons on these 3 international ETF for a long term core holding, to compliment VIG in an RRSP, which is best and why. No international exposure at the moment. I understand that XEF and ZEA both track the same index however I'm not sure why XEF would hold its own ETF for a 7% holding.
Q: Hi !
Looking for an international foreign company, with good growth and dividend, to put in my RRIF. What do you think of Braskem ? Any other suggestion ?
Many thanks,
Q: I am thinking that Ireland stands to benefit from Brexit. Would you agree? If so would ERIL the Ishares Ireland etf that trades on the New York exchange be a way to capitalize? Is there a better way?
I am looking to add some ETF exposure to the developed Asian markets (I currently have no exposure to this region), and am leaning towards VA. Does this sound like a reasonable choice to you, or is there another ETF you feel would be more appropriate.
I am 35 years old, am a fairly conservative investor, and have a preference for long term holds with as much diversification as possible. I already have ETF exposure to America (TDB), Europe (VE), and Emerging markets (VEE). This addition would take my overall portfolio to 30 holdings.
I am thinking of taking a position in Rio Tinto and would like to get your comments on this company. Also your outlook on resources/metals in going forward would be much appreciated.
Hello, This question is out of your scope but I would appreciate your thoughts. This stock is down about~ 10% due to the resignation of CEO. This is a solid company and has revolutionised IT and has made a huge impact on India. I am wondering if this is a good time to start a small position. Can you look at the financias and give me your thoughts. Thanks. Regards, Shyam
Q: Hello Peter and team, two questions:
1. I already own VIG. Can you suggest another unhedged US ETF for US holdings in an RRSP but with a focus on higher dividends. (I'm somewhat partial to Vanguard, but flexible.) A low fee is much preferred.
2. For an already diversified portfolio, and for a 5 - 10 year timeframe, would you kindly rank your choices for 'geographies' for new money - as between the Canadian market, the US, Europe, Emerging Markets or 'International' (i.e., excluding North America). If you have another category you would insert, please do. Also, if you like the long-term prospects for a particular country ETF, that would be appreciated as well.
Thank you@
Q: Hello 5i. I'm overweight in CBI and have taken a big hit (35%). Stock sits in my Lira account which I'm unable to touch for 10 yrs. Would you recommend I sit on this and hope for bounce back with possible infrastructure bill to be passed or take my hit now and move on? if so, what would you recommend to replace stock with in U.S. or Can? Please offer 1 stock on each side of the border.
Q: I purchase some Chicago Bridged & Iron @ $16.00 and did an open covered call at $17.00 and got $1.75. I thought this was a good trade until the share price fell off a cliff lately. What do you think about CBI .... medium & longer term
