Q: India does not answer the phone anymore when the Washington boy calls.

It buys cheap energy from Russia, has a young demography and a British rooted law system.

It even has a french minority among other things.

If you wanted exposure to India, witch ETF would you buy?

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: I would appreciate your thoughts on ZID and JAPN. Do you think investing in India and Japan is a good idea and why. You may have thoughts on other ETF's that invest in these countries. Your input would be appreciated. Thank You.
