Q: Happy holidays to Peter and Ryan and the team!

In addition to the BE portfolio, I'm trying to ensure we have good international exposure. To cover that need, we so far have positions in OUSA, ZWE, and ZZZD (was really just parking cash here to get some yield without too much risk so happy to move out of this). I am thinking that exposure to the big internet names might be a good idea and was looking at OGIG. Of course, I worry adding this now will be buying the top. Any thoughts on the sector and the ETF? Any other thoughts for better international exposure?

Q: We purchased ARCT at $105 US and it has dropped 50% due to underwhelming results.
It jumped 10% yesterday. Should we consider dollar cost averaging?

Q: AstraZeneca has approval for its vaccine which apparently has easier storage and transportability than its competitors vaccines. Also will be cheaper and therefore more available to the third world.
Your thoughts please on this company as an investment; they are of course involved in many other pharmaceuticals than just vaccines.
Many thanks
Happy New Year
Peter

Q: DIS: bought (300shs)in April @ $106.13 in my USD non-registered account: up to all time high $179.89 US - should I hold or sell as the PE is not supported by fundamentals - or, is this because of growth in streaming business and a hold? Theme parks are probably still closed. Crazy!! Very small part of total portfolios.

Q: Hello Peter,
I have an appropriate portfolio weight in Gold and Silver all of it leveraged through equity in producer companies big and small.
I want to do a seasonal trade in gold and cannot decide if it should be in physical metal, streaming company -WPM or producers leveraged to the price of the metal. What would you suggest? And if it is in gold producers, could you give me your top two suggestions.
Regards
