Q: What are your thoughts on the Brazil economy. I own a small stake in XBZ, which has provided a decent return over the last year, although it is quite volatile. With the upcoming World Cup and the media attention this will bring, do you think now is a good time to sell my stake in XBZ and wait until after the World Cup finishes to reinvest in this ETF?

Q: It's my understanding that the yields on Greek, Spanish and Irish debt are currently trading at very thin spreads to US teasuries. My instinct is that this represents an overall high level of risk complanency in the markets in general and that we are likely due for some weakness ahead as things normalize. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks,

Q: I am researching CNOOC which as a result of the Nexen deal is listed on the TSE as CNU. It is currently unloved but appears to trade at a relatively low PE and has some good assets. Can I get your thoughts and are you able to tell me if the TSE listing pays a dividend? I know the ADR listed on the NYSE does. The TSE listing is supposed to be a flow thru of the ADR is Cdn$ but no data feeds show a dividend.

I am a new subscriber and was pleased to see you follow and rate a lot of the companies I already own and some new ones I am now following.

Thanks

Q: Hi Team,
I hold Toyota (TM) and Magna (MG). While the parts manufacturers have been on a tear, my Toyota stock has been dropping steadily since November even though they've beat expectations handily the last two quarters. Could you shed some light on why they're not moving more in sync, and is there something wrong at Toyota?
