Thanks in advance.

Q: Good afternoon, Please recommend your 3 favourite international equity ETFs (without US holdings) and your 3 favourite US market ETFs. I already own QQQ which represents approx. 10% of my RRSP (in US dollars). Further, what are your thoughts on investing in the US market in US dollars (converted using Norbert Gambit) vs. Cnd. dollars? Is there an approach which has generated better results? Thank you.

Q: Down again on big volume today. Any idea why? Does it have to do with competition from HPE? With a stock like this still being up a ton I worry about how much further it can fall before it finds a bottom. Do you have confidence in holding? Thanks.

Q: I have held Heico for 4 years. I am up 168% over that time. HEI hit another high today. CFRA has a SELL on the stock. Do you think this is based on valuation or due to its long run-up? I have been trimming on the way up.

Thanks very much.
