Q: With so much media attention recently to the Middle East do you see investment potential there? If so is there one or 2 companies listed in the USA that you could recommend? Alternatively, perhaps you could suggest an etf.
Thanks

Q: I listened to a CIBC webcast today outlining the fact international equities were cheaper then US and possibly Canadian equities based on P/E ratios and are expected to outperform US and possibly Canadian equities in the near term. Interesting sectors discussed were international infrastructure companies, defense, e-commerce and semi-conductors. Could you provide a few Canadian ETF's that would provide exposure to these themes and list you favourite?
Thanks
Jeff

Q: Hi Peter and team,
European ETFs such as the ones listed above have a relatively high concentration of pharmaceuticals. With Trump's plans to curb such imports to the US, do you believe that this will be a headwind for these ETFs?
Your insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
Q: Can you give some suggestions for Euro exposed ETF's that would hold all or near all their largest best companies. The ETF would preferably have a low MER and could be held in registered account for long term hold.
As always thanks for the great service

Q: Hi there. with the current economic outlook in the US being very uncertain and the dollar possibly weakening as the US economy struggles would you recommend any of these names? VGK, FEZ, or EZU? The idea being to build up a position of 10% of my portfolio over the next two or three quarters betting on Europe continuing to outperform the US. Thank-you.

iShares MSCI ACWI Ex US Index Fund (ACWX)
Q: Just to clarify from my last question, would ACWX be a compliment, non correlated ETF to VIU or an alternative?
Q: You prefer VIU over MGQE. Are there other ETF's that you would add to increase the 'out of North America' trade?
Q: For international exposure, VIU or MFC099, which also has an ETF.
Q: Can you give your thoughts on EVO, following their earnings. The market is really hammering the share price, and its looking like some rough numbers. Is this a hold or a sell when the panic settles? Thx
Q: FDD - First Trust STOXX European Select Dividend Index Fund isn't listed on your site but I hold some of it and am thinking of getting more. It has a high yield but hasn't done much the last few years, up until this year, when it's shot up nicely. What do you think of it and it's risks?
Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
SAN has been on a positive run this year hitting a new high. I know you do not follow European Banks. However any info you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Apparently they are selling their Polish Bank. So do you think all the good news has been baked in? Do you think it has any more up side or will it plateau soon and maybe retreat? Thanks for your insights!

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I have read that some analysts are predicting a 90% chance of an economic slow down or some type of recession later this year. If this were to occur how do you think it would effect large European banks or insurance companies in general? Thanks for your insights...they always help!

Q: I believe in international diversification, but I am currently regretting the high weight I have put on US-dollar-denominated holdings in my portfolio. Given Trump's policies to date, his career record of welshing proudly on past debts and the years remaining in his term, I want to lower the weight substantially and invest in more European, British, Japanese, Australian and New Zealand assets instead, assets not denominated in US dollars. What ETFs do you suggest for this purpose?
