Q: Can I please have your feedback on APH vs ANET.

What would you prefer and why for buying today with long term hold?

APH seems to be safer and more diversified (bonus points for unique decentralized management approach) whereas ANET is a bit more growthy but comes with higher concentration risk. Both have similar market caps and P/E and have minimal to no dividends so easy comparison there.

Appreciate your thoughts...

Q: I prepared a question on EWJ but when I hit “submit” your website logged me out; I will prepare it again but if you see the first one of course please ignore this.

A couple of questions. First, what is your outlook for this investment going forward? The ETF is based on the Japan index; does the market in Japan seem favourable? In particular, there has been a suggestion that the “carry trade” will be winding down as interest rates begin to rise; will this affect the investment prospects? Or does the ETF being in US currency shield it from any effect?

Second, what is the expected yield going forward? Different profiles for the fund show different rates. 5i I has it at 1.9%; BMO shows it at 4.53%. However, in December, I received a payment that was probably just over 4%, but that was a semi-annual payment. Can you see what it might be going forward to the next one in May? And can you explain why the December payment seems so high, especially compared to distributions in the past years?

Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Read in the Economist that the Trump administration bought into the above companies.
None are making any money at this point. Realizing it is a speculative play, would you recommend investing in any of these ?
