Q: Thinking of taking a 1/2 position in Japan. On I-Trade they show BBJP with a 9% dividend, but Google Finance has it under 3%. I wondered if Reuters has either of those numbers? Also, wondered if you were going to do this, would you go with Japan or South Korea? Thank you so much…

Q: I currently own ZDI. I would appreciate your views on this ETF as a long-term hold. I am considering replacing ZDI because it has a higher MER, and it is overweight both financials and energy.

What ETFs do you recommend which hold international equities and focus on a dividend growth strategy? Preference is for Canadian currency ETFs, but would appreciate recommendations on US currency ETFs if you feel there is sufficient additional value-added to warrant the currency conversion fee.

Thanks again for this excellent service.

Q: Read u comments on Oct 3,in summary,no big rush to own it as the negatives outweight the positives. In light of the recent events,please provide u updated comments as I am considering to establish a position.HuaWei,(not listed) beat its main competitors,ERIC & NOK in the 5G sector by a wide margin.However USA is pressuring the rest of the world not to use Hua Wei for national security reasons.On 18,rumour that China is exerting pressure on Germany over Hua Wei.On Oct 19,Greenland picks ERIC over Hua Wei.Also ERIC announced that it is teaming up with MSFT for next generation of connected cars On Oct 20,announced that it is increasing its credit facilities to US$150m,of which $98m is to repay existing loan & balance for 5G research. ERIC was doing nicely prior to Oct 19 when it dropped 0.40 to $8.80 from $9.20.On Oct 20,it initially declined but closed unchanged @ $8.80. Its Q results since Q1,2016 were inconsistent .But Q3 reported on Oct 17/19 showed EPS of 0.18, beating estimates by 157.14%.Are there any US firms entering the 5G sector? Looking forward to u usual great views & services .Merry Xmas & All the Best to 2020 to all.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

This is not a question, but rather a comment. I often read in the Q@A that the insurance on GICs is $100,000. This is not entirely true. If you invest in a GIC at an Ontario credit union or caisse populaire, the insurance is $250,000. See the link below.
