Q: I currently have only limited representation in my portfolio of International markets (a few ADR's and a few ETF's). In an uncertain world, I understand it is difficult to have a high degree of confidence in what economies may do well or poorly at present, however I would appreciate your best efforts!

I am interested in 3 ETF's that you believe would show growth >5% over the next 5 years; ones that would be suitable in a "balanced" portfolio verging on a "growth" portfolio. I already own VEE and XEF.

I would also appreciate 3 specific foreign publicly traded stocks (accessible to Canadians via ADR's or markets) that fit nicely in the "growth" category. I already own ING, RACE, ASML and NBIS.

Thanks very much for your insights.

Q: Hi, I'm looking for a financial company with a significant dividend (above 3%) for a long term stable hold with some growth. I already own MS, JPM, XLF, and RY (CDN). Which of my choices (ING, HSBC, RY (US), LYG, NWG would you choose? Do you have any better alternatives?

Q: Ing vs umax for sustainable dividend? Thanks
