Q: Hi, I want to Invest some of my cash outside of Canadian and US markets. I would appreciate if you can suggest a few markets with good valuations and potential. I do not want to pick individual stocks, but instead would buy an ETF.
Thanks
Q: I'm looking for diversification outside on the Americas and Ctrip.Com International Ltd looks like an interesting play on travel/technology.
See Globe article -- Top stocks from the manager of Canada’s top mutual fund published April 7th.
Several websites that comment on stocks rate Mercado Libre (MELI) very highly. I know you don't follow international stocks as closely as Canadian securities, but you do have access to a Bloomberg terminal and perhaps other paying stock research sites. I'm hesitating to buy MELI because it has risen so much in the last year and the probability of a reversion to the mean or a drawdown is that much greater today. Are my concerns misplaced with this company?

Q: There seems to be some new interest in Mexican securities. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT MEXICAN MARKETS OR STOCKS OR ETFS!! Would appreciate any info and or recommendations - positive or negative. Thank you.
Q: Hi,
I currently own 8 of Mawers Funds (MAW-102,104,105,108,120,130 & 150) to provide broad diversification to the individual stocks I own. I just noticed that they have a new Emerging Markets Fund MAW160. As this is a relatively new fund I know that information is limited on it but can you comment if you think this would be a suitable fund that would add further diversification to the funds I currently own and if I were to purchase it which account would it best suit i.e.- non-registered-TFSA-RRSP?
Thank you.
Q: It looks like Emerging markets have pulled themselves out from the doldrums. They have led global growth since January. In your view what is the best way to play this growth spurt in Emerging markets?
Q: Would like to add to my India position. Would you recommend my current position or suggest another INDIA ETF? Or perhaps broader based emerging market ETF. THANKS
Q: I have looked at investing directly in India via ETF'S.
I have identified two, ZID or XID, which would you prefer, or perhaps an alternative.
Or would it be better to do so using a general emerging markets ETF like VEE?
Hi,
What would you think of ZDH to provide some international diversification?Would there be another suitable recommended alternative?
Thank you,
Daniel
Q: Could you recommend 2 or more ETF's that concentrate on Japan. Currently I own VWO as my only position outside of North America & I don't believe it contains any Japanese entities. In addition, I would appreciate your comments on both Japan Futures going forward as well as the principal Asian markets. Thank you.
Q: Hi Peter, I bought some VOD stock recently, primarily for dividends. Are dividends paid to Canadians in Registered accounts taxed in UK? Also, what about non-registered accounts and capital gains. Thank you.
Q: Hi team
I have diageo, it sells nice spirits (high end alchohl)
It has gone up 15% for me and pays a small dividend (it is income as it is a US stock); should I buy some more, sell or hold ?
thanks
