Q: Which of the following etf's holding emerging market securities would you recommend.... HAJ, VEE or ZEM? Most of my other ETF holdings are Blackrock iShares with some BMO products, so I would like to diversify into Horizons, Vanguard, or BMO on this one. Many thanks!

Q: I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and we are looking for a prosperous New year with your advice. I would like to diversify my holdings outside of Canada for growth using etf's. What areas of the world and what etf would you recommend? I already have etfs in the US for exposure there. Perhaps a etf for Britain, Korea, India or China? Or would an etf that covers the world ex US make more sense. I appreciate your wisdom and advice on these matters.

Q: Most of my investments are North American and at this time I am looking at adding some international through an ETF. Looking at EEM, FEZ and VXUS. What are your thoughts on this selection looking at a 5 yr window. Would one enter now or even though we are having an up day is there more down side to come. Also any other recommendations.
Merry Christmas to you and staff.

Q: My understanding is that you view Germany and Japan as the 2 countries to benefit most from low oil prices. This being the case could you recommend etf's that that would give maximum upside preferably in US dollars. Dividends are not important to me for this investment. Thanks for your great service.

Q: I'm looking for a way to play the drop in oil prices. With Abe getting re-elected and Japan being a large importer of oil, I was thinking CJP may be a good way to play the drop in oil. Also was thinking about ATD.B for another way. Could I get your thoughts on both strategies.

Q: Hi Peter and team,
My US investment portfolio is 20% of my combined portfolios. In my Canadian (registered and non) I mostly have stocks from the 5i growth portfolio.
My US investments are full positions in VIG, BRK.B, IWO, QQQ, SLW & INTC and half position in FEZ. I also hold CRUS, VOD, VZ and GT.
I would like to get your thoughts(outlook) for the next 2 to 3 years considering the interest rates may be going(US) up and QE in Europe.
I am thinking of increasing my FEZ to full position but I have to sell something. In your opinion how should I rebalance my portfolio?

I value your opinion and really appreciate what you all do for retail investors like us.

Thanks
