Q: Hi Peter and gang,

I raised this question about a week ago but it seems to have fallen through the cracks.

Please comment on FCX which hasn't been doing much of anything over the past 3 years. Is it a hold, buy or sell now? If indeed it is a "sell", please recommend a replacement in material/mining sector.

As always, much appreciated.

Q: (1) Can you suggest an ETF similar to FEZ but that includes companies outside the Eurozone (i.e. includes Swiss, Swedish and UK companies). I am looking for an ETF that favors large caps, preferably holds not more than a hundred companies. IEV is the closest I could find but it holds over 360 companies. And VGK has over a thousand (>1200).

(2) Am I wrong to think that holding hundreds of companies tends to dilute an ETF’s performance?

Q: How would you invest in the Defence sector at this time? And would you? On that theme what do you think of BAE in comparison to others in the sector? And are there ETF’s which would be appropriate?

Q: Five plus year holder here of Alimentation Couch Tard stock, but can't help but notice the share price has flat lined for a few years now. Revenues haven't grown consistently and ROE & ROIC have been deteriorating YOY for a while now, and enough to make me question this holding going forward. Mgmt must be concerned of their decline, hence the 7-11 acquisition push. Thinking of selling out entirely and moving the position to DSG. Two very different companies, but what are your thoughts?
