Q: Good afternoon. I have $20K in an unregistered US account to invest in an ETF that would track either European or
Orient dividend growers. What would you recommend,? I could split it to accommodate both jurisdictions if you think it's prudent. Thanks David

Q: Can you please recommend 5 US or Japanese ETFs that will have a revenue of about 10% or more annually, including dividends and capital appreciation, for a conservative investor?
Q: Good Morning,
Knowing that you don’t follow Japan Index in a big way and also the run these ETFs have been on, what are your thoughts on holding one of these for minimum 3-5 years? If so which one? Still lots of upside, room to grow?
Looking to diversify a bit.
Thanks!
Robert

Q: Hi, There has been a lot of talk about Japanese stock market witnessing a strong recovery after almost a lifetime. In your view, what are the factors causing this rebound ?
Many portfolio managers on CNBC and BNN have recommended to have an exposure to Japanese markets. Mr Buffet, for one, as always, started early, taking sizable positions in some well known Trading and Industrial companies. Over past 2-3 years, they have also issued many tranches of Japanese Yen denominated Bonds, with interest rates higher than usually offered by Japanese issuers, once such large issue just announced.
What is your view and if you concur, is EWJ a decent investment vehicle to invest at current levels ?
Thank You

Q: Japan is showing some recent economic recovery. What are the factors responsible for that and is it sustainable? If yes than is it a good idea to add some exposure via an ETF?
Q: Hi, If I want exposure to Japan, should I buy Toyota or an ETF or something else?
Q: The Japanese yen has been week for 3 years and Japanese corporations are apparently starting to be more shareholder friendly. Supposedly many Japanese corporations are sitting on lots of cash and finally they are starting to buy back stock and start/increase dividends. At least that is what I can glean from the business mass media. Does 5I agree with this appraisal of the situation? If the answer the answer is yes then I assume you agree that some exposure to the Japanese market would be prudent? Then what ETF would you suggest? I think something unhedged would be better in case the yen starts wakes up and starts to appreciate.

Q: Hello 5i,
As always, thanks for your sage advice.
I am light on international exposure. I am thinking of adding an Indian and Mexican ETF as both economies are robust and likely have a long runway.
Firstly, would you agree? and if so, could you suggest a go to fund for each.
And if no, could you advise what you think would be a better path?
Much appreciated,
Ralph

Q: What ETFs would you recommend to use to represent the international portion of a portfolio? What ones would you use for:
1. Europe
2. India
3. Japan
4. South America
I have excluded China because I don’t trust their reporting. How would you divide that 30% up? Is there any other countries/areas that you would view as investable that I am forgetting.
Thanks in advance.

Q: Could you please commended a Japanese index ETF? Both David Rosenberg and Warren Buffet have mentioned Japanese equity market will be outromanced. Just wondering if it's good timing to invest in that market.

Q: I hold Japan and South Korea ETFs for diversification. EWY’s holdings include Samsung and other large well-run large industrials in South Korea but EWY has nothing for several years (continues instead to go glug-glug). Likewise, my various Japan ETFs hold good businesses yet seem to have only downward trajectories. Do you think these ETFs have sunk so much now that one may as well ride it out? OR:
Is it better to sell any ? Which to sell and which to keep? (In theory I could sell now and revisit later, but I have never done that well. My several questions today show my various psych biases. Yes, one can be self-aware AND continue to make the same behavioral mistakes).
