I have the above stocks in my wife's account and I'm looking to diversify further. Ultimately, I'm looking to build my own ETF through individual stocks. What else would you add here to fully diversify?

Thanks

Q: Greetings 5i - I am helping my 29-year old daughter with her TFSA. She has $9,500 to invest and we're thinking about putting it into VFV:CA so she has some US exposure. She currently holds BNS, FTS, PPL and PBH. Alternatively, we were thinking of dividing it between AQN and ATD.B or BAM. Would appreciate your thoughts on what's best for a long term hold. Happy New Year to you all.

Q: Peter, I understand that many of Couche-Tard's convenience stores are anchored by gas stations. Do you foresee a risk relating to (or has the company planned for) the gradual but inevitable reduction in gas-powered vehicles, as EVs replace them? It seems to me that if the Company can commit the capital for, and has the room for, high-grade charging stations, there could be more upside than downside because drivers will be forced to 'kill time' in the stores while their vehicles recharge. But if the Company can't or won't provide charging stations, this would seem to lower its customer base over time. Your thoughts appreciated!

Q: For non-Canada exposure I use ETFs (VFV, HXS, XQQ) along with Canadian companies that have significant international exposure. In 2016 you wrote an article on this topic and recommended ATD.B, CCL.B, WSP AND XTC. I particularly liked that you provided a table outlining the countries where the 4 companies were invested. Do you have further information on this topic?
