Q: If I understand correctly, the Chinese government lifted some restrictions, and due to it, a lot of money from China has been moving into the Hong Kong market. This might explain why the chinese market has gone up 40% in 1 year. TD Waterhouse tells me that the PE ratio on ZCH is 11.5. That's 60% cheaper than the TSX. (a) Do you think this move by the government will be transformational for that market is could bring their valuations close to the north-american markets? (b) with canadian dollars, would you buy XCH? CHI.A seems to be the only other option but it's 8x smaller in size.

Q: I am considering moving some money from an S&P 500 based ETF to a TSX 60 based ETF here now that the resource stocks decline has affected the TSX and made it better value here than the S&P 500. Am I thinking straight or does the momentum of the S&P 500 mean that I should keep my money in it? Diversification is not an issue for me, I am well diversified no matter what I do with this money, I am thinking in terms of timing here. Thanks.

Q: Hi team, I have been watching ZPR for some time now at this level is it beginning to look interesting? I don't have any holding specifically in this area so I was looking for some diversification. Or would HPR be a better buy? Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks again.

Q: Is there any explanation for EWH's sudden rise this week? Is the Chinese economy coming out of its funk? Iron ore prices still seem weak when I look at my LIF shares.

Q: The oil and gas sector in Canada has been on the decline for a while. What are your thoughts on the prospects of this oil index and the oil/gas sector overall recovering in the summer, when the demand for this resource is expected to rise.
I bought HOU.TO at around $7.3 and am not sure when I should short it and if it is worth it to wait it out till the summer time.

Q: I own the ETF CDZ in my TFSA acct. The Mar. Statement had a CGDIV (+ $) and then a DRIP of the same amount (-$). ‘Settlement’ -Jan 8 then ‘Trade Date’ March 13. I did not receive any additional shares on the DRIP but my cost base was increased by the +$ amt. thus reducing the paper gain for CDZ on the statement. Would this be helpful in a taxable account for a sell? In a registered account it seems that there is no benefit to me? Is this some accounting process for the ETF.? If this happens with the ETF would it be best to hold it outside a registered account? I am primarily focused on ‘secure’ income at this time. I will appreciate any assistance in understanding the above. Thank you.
Q: What is your outlook on US financials as a sector? I hold VFH, I am up 46% but some of that is because I bought in when Canadian dollar was stonger. I am considering cashing in my gains and reinvesting in a Canadian dividend EFT. Thoughts?
Thanks
Thanks
Q: All three dividend EFTs have a number of differences, but which of the 3 do you feel will give the best overall long term return and why?
Q: I have been looking for investments in water. CWW looks like it holds a group of good quality companies and risk is less because it gives you a basket of stocks. PUR has given a slightly better return over the long term but stock appears expensive from P/E perspective. Both have similar dividends. Which would be better buy, or can you think of another company with more torc and or has a cheaper valuation. With regards to CWW, what does average premium discount of .74% mean.
