Q: Hi 5i - I have some new money to put to work and would like to round out my Canadian portfolio with some US and International ETFs. Currently I have some XSP and nothing else outside Canada. Can you provide some suggestions and an example weighting for an investor looking 20 years out with tolerance for risk? Thanks, Neil

Q: It seems every week there are headlines indicating that the Chinese stock market is down on account of trade worries with the US. I am a long term buy and hold investor and have no exposure to China in my portfolio and thought now might be the time. What are your thoughts on this idea? Is the chinese market in fact undervalued now based on the metrics you would use? And last but not least, what ETF would you suggest to get exposure?

Q: I made an investment in Blackstone some time ago as a source of fairly high and reasonably secure income. It also offered me diversification into private equity and additional investment in the US.
It's now had a significant move up and I'm inclined to "stay the course" for the reasons given. While I understand that you don't concentrate on US investments I would still appreciate your current opinion on this one.

Q: Hello, I own shares of Brookfield Office Properties 4.60% Cumulative Redeemable rate reset Class AAA preferred shares series T. Today the price is $23.18 and reset date is Dec 31, 2018. With the 5 year BoC rate increasing to 2.3% I would have figured the price of these shares to start increasing as the reset date gets closer. The mark-up is 3.16% and original B0C rate was 1.44%. Any thoughts.....thx

Q: Facebook and Google have been moved out of this ETF and moved to the Communications Services ETF as a result of their industry reclassification. I still like the companies in the Tech ETF but Apple apparently makes up 20%. Would you move some cash from this ETF to the Vanguard Communications Services ETF? How do you handle such a change? (Amazon was moved as well). Is this one possible negative factor of ETFs in that a reclassification actually change your portfolio?
