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 just read your comments regarding MLP’s, including AMZA as your preferred way to go. My question: the dividend on Globe Investor shows a dividend rate of approx. 25%. Even with the withholding tax that would still leave a dividend of about 15%.
Too good to be true? If so what are the downside risks?
Thanks.

Q: Hi, for my US exposure, I hold the following 3 US ETFs at the following total percentages:
VTI - 50%
VIG - 20%
IWO - 30%
I have $10K USD to add and I'm wondering whether VTI and VIG are too similar or whether I'm fine to add to all 3 and keep the same rough percentages.
Thanks
Robert

Q: Can you recommend an etf or 2 that is on the less risky side, that would be better insulated against NAFTA reform and may benefit from higher interest rates? Was thinking financials or telecom? Am I off base?
