Q: re:XOM

Hi 5i Team

I'm always a little hesitant to ask about U$ equities as you have stated in the past you're not necessarily following US companies as closely BUT, you were planning on doing more so in the future.

Having said that, if you could please give an opinion the following comment and your thoughts on Exxon in general.

Comment... Oil requirement expectations have been reduced recently and Exxon is down 8% since 3rd week July. At this point I am breaking even not counting a fairly good dividend. And I read a report recently that money would be better spent on Canadian O&G rather than U$.

Do you expect Exxon to improve once we get past Sept & Oct? Would your advice be to sell/hold or buy XOM at this time? And do you think the Canadian O&G is a better place to be for capital growth in comparison to Royal Dutch/CVX/XOM etc...?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Peter and Team,

What are your thoughts on new purchases of Apple today following their product presentations. It seems like they are adding a whole new revenue stream to their business with the electronic wallet on the new devices. It makes me wonder if now is a good time to buy for the long term (i.e. 5 years+).

Q: Dear Peter,
I'm glad to see that contributions to your ride are continuing and you are now at 98%. Way to go! My question is about investing in European securities. It was mentioned in a recent answer that 5% of a portfolio be in Europe and 10% in USA. What do you think are the best way(s) to invest in those areas?

Q: Hi,
Could you confirm if my reasonning is correct? Earlier this week, Mario Draghi introduced a series of measures aimed at boosting the European economy. One of the effects of these measures will be to lower the value of the Euro relative to the US dollar.

I'm contemplating buying shares of Nestle. If I were to wait a few weeks or months for the Euro to effectively fall, would Nestle's share be cheaper if I bought them over the counter (OTC) at that time? Or is the Nestle share price OTC set based on other factors?
