Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi; I read an excellent article in the Globe this weekend regarding Robert Schiller's CAPE valuation ratio. It implies that the US is significantly overvalued. It also implies that Russia is a deep value investment with a CAPE ratio <6. Is there a Russian ETF that you would recommend to provide exposure and perhaps benefit from this. Thanks for your excellent service.

Q: I have read of a strategy called "Doubling the Dow" in which something like Powershares ultra Mid cap MVV is used.

I know that there are dangers in this strategy. But, it may be better than buying on margin, because you don't loose as much, if it goes down as you would with margin.

So, the question is what you think of this strategy. and are there etf's for the TSX that could be used for the strategy in canada?
thanks

Q: Looking to spread my Technology investments into US$ shares in one of these 3 positions. All seem to be doing extremely well and appear quite similar to each other. Share prices go from $128-$52-$17 and psychologically I have an aversion to paying over $100/share (I know there is no rational to that).
Would appreciate your analysis of these 3 and recommendation or any others in this arena.

thx

Q: DXU is a new ETF and would appreciate your thoughts on it. Is this a good time to purchase or would it be best to do a "wait and see"? I currently hold ZUB and am wondering if it should be switched to an ETF that is not hedged. Which bank ETF would you consider for the unhedged or would you go with a single US bank. Thanks for your advice.

Q: Other than currency what is the difference between these two products. I would like some insurance on market volatility but am unsure which product is best. Is there a better way to protect against volatility other than cash. Thanks
