I am comfortable holding the bigger Chinese companies however I find myself with all 3 of these ETFs as well as several of the larger China Tech companies in my portfolio in all in half positions ( BABA, TCEHY, JD, BIDU). My question is What ETF would you let go?
As far as redistribution of these funds I am more interested in Large or Mid cap longer term holds that have value currently. Any recommendations?

Q: Hello all
I am zero invested in oil and gas right now.
I have a bit of room in RSP account and thinking of taking one oil stock with a decent dividend for a long term hold. Purchasing right away so today’s prices are in play.
Either Vermillion or White Cap fit I think, thoughts on those or another option would be appreciated.
Q: I am holding shares for ISOL at 0.78, what you think will be the future of this stock. Is it better to sell at this time. Please share your thoughts. Thanks
Q: Hi,
I currently do not have a lot of exposure to the materials sector (my % is at 6% versus my target of 8%). Other than owning CCL, my only exposure is thru the broad based ETF's I own.
I would like your suggestion regarding what would be your top companies in this sector at present time (3 to 4). I am more of a growth at a reasonable price investor and prefer owning companies that either pay a dividend or are buying back shares.
Thanks for your help.

Q: What is your opinion on CJT, it has setback I assume because of the price of oil, are there other reasons that are of concern, would you recommend here?
Q: In a response to Bob today you stated: "We might consider KXS, BOX and NVDA in the group as well, with the former two much riskier than the others." Given that you have made positive comments on KXS lately, even recommended it on 1 May along with CSU and SIS as a choice for a longer term buy, I am wondering why you suggest today that it is a "risky" stock.

Q: Regarding BXE, how does the news of their conversion of debt to common stock affect the future of the company? I know your past comments referred to the company as small and heavily in debt. Would it fit in the speculative portion of a portfolio? Do you think it will survive?
Thank You.
Q: Hi 5i gang. Would you expect COV to keep rising (at 59% as I type)? Is it still a buy? To be honest, I just bought it not wanting to lose immediate upside.
