Q: I am coming into a $50,000 gift from aging parents, and would like to invest for my 10 month old son’s education. I want long term growth until he needs the money (probably 18 years or so). Would you recommend 100% ZSP or some other ETF? Also, should I buy in one shot as soon as I have the money ?

Q: I have a small position in Lululemon, which has recently become smaller after the downturn in share price. My impression of the most recent quarterly results from the company were that they were not robust, but roughly in line with previous estimates (if slighlty below them). It appears that market sentiment is currently holding the company in disfavour: share price has continued to slide downward after the substantial correction weeks earlier.

Is holding onto this company still a prudent measure, or is it time to cut losses and move onto other opportunities? I would be very happy to read your thoughts on this company. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: I purchased a 3.5% position in BRK after the announcement that Buffet was stepping down. I chose BRK over FFH. I am down 6.5% so far.

I can take this as a buying opportunity and increase my position in BRK to 5%.

I can also sell half of my BRK position for a tax loss and buy an equal amount of FFH.

I can also do nothing. I am a growth investor in my late seventies.

What would you do in this situation?

Thank you

Q: Greetings - To postpone tax liability from income, I would like to develop a balanced portfolio of stocks and ETFs for the medium term (3-10 years) that do not pay dividends or interest. Rather, I would prefer to incur the tax liability upon selling the holdings (capital gains). I am aware of Global X Total Return ETFs and stocks like BRK.B that do not pay annual dividends. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks
