Q: It appears to me that you favor diversification outside of Canada and the U.S., even though your primary recommendations cover the Canadian market. What would be your top recommendations for the emerging markets, India, China, Japan, Europe, etc ?

Q: Although I know it is not your area of focus, I am wondering whether there are a handful of European stocks that stand out to you as possible value picks at this point in time. This would be an additional or alternative strategy to investing in a broader ETF. Any insight you can provide would be much appreciated.

Q: I own ZWH at present in a registered account. Is there any advantage to adding XDU (hedged or unhedged) for diversification? I am also looking at ZWU as a possible addition. Thank you.
Q: What ETF or method would you recommend for an investor who wants to hold some gold (bullion, not the miners), unhedged to the Canadian dollar and with good liquidity. I have heard so many gold bugs talk about the importance of investing in “physical” gold as opposed to “paper” gold. Do you believe this thesis of “physical” gold and does GLD (US) meet this requirement?

Q: Hi,
Just a thought for an ETF for Raymond (Nov. 23/17), who asked about a canadian option for FANG stocks, TXF(First Asset Tech Giants) has treated me very well, so it may be of interest to him.
Cheers, Chris

Vanguard Total International Stock (VXUS)
Q: Good morning 5i
Thank you for the new website. Its great.
I bought VXUS... thank you. I am well diversified with equities and will have some Canadian dollars to spend after I shave some of my winners (which there are many..thank you) in my RRIF. What would you suggest in the form of an ETF? Europe? Japan UK Australia??? etc??? VXUS being international may cause an overlap but perhaps there is one area that you are particularily in favour of?? Do you expect more growth in the near to medium term (3 to 5 years) in any of these areas? Or should I plan this as a long term (5 to 10 year) investment. Thank you for your timely and priceless answers.
