Q: Hi 5i: I'm still considering a purchase of AFLAC. The news regarding employee complaints seems no worse, though a few legal firms have made it a point of announcing that they are investigating. Re its quarterly report, I find it hard to decide how well it's doing given the tax effects and yen currency effects. What is your assessment? Do you think it's buyable yet?

Q: From BMO Capital Markets, regarding the cost of borrowing (rising interest rates) and the new US tax bill. "Starting in 2018, companies can only deduct interest expense of up to 30% of its EBITBA. Any amount beyond this, will no longer be deductible. This will tighten further in 2022."
I read this quote, and noted that while you do not cover US Markets, this tax increase on companies in the States, may largely affect some of your members' portfolios. I really don't have a question about it, but thank you again for your guidance in regards to searching for value stocks. Susan

Q: Hello,

I realize that you don’t focus on the US market but I have cash to deploy and would appreciate your opinion.
I am looking for 4-5 stocks regardless of sector to buy into this market dip. What would you suggest?

Thank you!
