Q: Sir. In the spirit of weeding the garden, I find myself well down in these stocks…with a time frame of 1 year , please comment on which to keep or toss how…. 5i had good things to say about many of these in the past, but we all know that times change quickly in this business…

Q: Hi Guys
I would like some Emerging Markets exposure, After listening to Jeffery Gundlach and Felix Zulauf ( both very smart guys) they agree China is now totally uninvestable.
My problem is i own ZEM for my emerging markets exposure which has about 30% China.
There is EMXC which i could buy instead which excludes China, but holds about 20% exposure to Taiwan.
What would be your strategy?
Thanks Gord

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).
