Q: When comparing SAN to JPM, I was surprised to see that SAN-ADR significantly outperformed JPM over 5, 3 , 1 years and YTD. I did not compare appreciation in shares of SAN in €. Notwithstanding remarkable appreciation in share value YTD, SAN still trades at below market multiples in its industry. Having used SAN’s services (business and personal) I find this bank to be well-run, and customer focused, far superior to Barclays , Lloyds et al . Am I missing something that justifies the low valuation? If not, do you think SAN is a good investment that could also be a reasonably good diversifier? .

Q: Hi, Any ideas why a co. goes from $9.00 to $0.50 in a few hours Jun 26, 2025. Was it pump and dump ? This happened to "Ostin Technology Group Co Ltd" ("OST").
It is Chinese company, is it a tariff issue ? or something else.
Thank you

Q: Hi, with everything going on in the world I was thinking of moving a sizeabamoule nt of Cdn $$ into a Swiss Franc Bank account in Canada through UBS.I just want to diversify away from the US$$ and the Cdn $$. And it seems the Swiss Franc is a really stable currency.
Then I saw the FXF:US Trust and wondered if you thought that was a better idea. I prefer to have less paperwork and easy access to tax docs at tax time. I'm not trying to avoid taxes in any way.

Q: If someone wants to buy shares of Airbus, the European competitor to Boeing, what would be the best stock symbol to use? I see at least 10 different ones. Two seem the most reasonable: EADSF on the OTC Markets in USD, and AIR.PA on the Paris exchange in euros. What’s your view of Airbus compared to Boeing? Thank you

Q: Middle East. Thank you for your answer. This is a follow up to that question,
There appears to be a limited number of opportunities in the ME.
However, I understand that some of the Saudis are enormously wealthy. Given that situation is there a BX, APO, BN or BLK kind of company that would offer a positive risk/ reward?
As usual thank you for your help.
