Q: Hello Peter,
Can you please comment on Salona Globals's results yesterday and whether it is good buy at this point ? Also, any idea what drove Greenlane higher yesterday and thoughts about the company ? Can you recommend a good etf for India exposure in canadian dollars and is this a good time to initiate a position in India? Thanks very much.

Q: Good day. As an investor, I try to investigate stocks that have good products that I am very familiar along with compelling financials and an excellent story. Sometimes this takes me to non North American locations. I know you don't normally research or comment much on such companies as Mazda but wonder if you could add anything on it.? Perhaps even some comment on the automobile manufacturing industry as an investment, generally. Secondly, Mazda trades as an ADR on the over the counter market. Any precautions that I should be aware of? Thanks.

Q: Portfolio analytics suggests that I need more international exposure. Can you suggest some ETFs that would provide me with broad exposure to international markets (non-US markets)? Perhaps lower-, medium- and higher-risk options? Thank you.

Q: Can you please provide two Emerging Markets ETFs ex. China that you would recommend to an investor seeking exposure to those markets?

Thanks as always for your expertise.

Q: A recent question started with the premise that China was currently uninvestable. You answered the question but did not speak to the premise. I, myself, was thinking pretty close to the opposite, that China represents one of the better opportunities right now. What do you think? Thank-you.

Q: Regarding the T1135 form, my understanding is that by owning both ILF (U.S. ETF) and Vale (ADR), they would need to be declared (i.e. not exempt from reporting) above the $100,000 threshold correct? I believe this is true unless they are held within an RRSP or a TFSA, in which case both would be exempt.

On the other hand, ETF's with foreign holdings that are created by Canadian institutions such as the BMO's ZEM would also be exempt from reporting, even if that one was held within an open account.

If the above is true, is there a Canadian-based alternative to the ILF ETF ? I would like to have some exposure to Latin America. ZEM, for instance, has holdings I'm not really interested in.

Q: Happy New Year to all the 5i team!

Question for you: should we be adding to ILF for emerging market exposure? It's dropped the past year with most everything else but is paying a monster dividend now (like 12.7 % going off of trailing year's payments). Am I missing something?

Should we be looking at something like ZEM instead?

Thanks!

Q: Note: Allkem Ltd trades under the ticker AKE. Very few questions, last in 2021. Now established operations and profitable. I know it's out of your geography of reporting but could you do a quick analysis of its fundamentals, new projects nearing completion and, particularly, its recent decline in share price, as it's sharply off it's recent all-time highs

thanks for all you do and all the best for the Festive Season and 2023

Q: Based on Portfolio Analytics my portfolio needs more international exposure and more industrial exposure. To that end I am looking at BASF SE the german chemical giant currently trading at a discount with a great dividend.
Should I be worried?

Q: I have Trane but see recently, you've had positive remarks about Carrier. That together with the 25% withholding tax on the dividend due to Trane being European based makes me wonder if I should change to Carrier for the next few years?
