Q: We know that the market moves in advance of the stocks earnings as some say 3 to 6 months in advance. With these 3 stocks, is it possible that is happening, the market is talking to us and we are NOT listening?

Also, as stated before, could it be that if these stocks beat their earnings, that they may still go down with the reason that the market will feel that AI has not fully effected their earnings yet?

Thanks

Q: I am considering gradually switching from an all equity portfolio to these six ETFs at the following percentages: XGRO 20%, VBAL 20%, ZSP 15%, SPY 15%, XIC 15%, and VIU 15%. I have been happy with my returns but am thinking more conservatively.
1. What do you think about this mix, are there any you'd suggest a replacement for?
2. What would your educated guess be for an annualized return over the next 10 years?

Q: Good morning - I have a meandering position in MCHI and have become concerned about investing in China as its structural issues seem dire ( real estate, youth unemployment etc) while its exports have soared. I'm wondering which international market makes the most sense these days. I have VEA which is doing fine. I had Japan exposure and left it for China. India seems fully priced. I have plenty of US exposure already and don't want more. So, where to invest? Europe? I know the international markets are not your forte but which ETF(s) would you suggest?

Thanks, as always.

Q: I was given the above five ETFs from a friend to consider adding to my portfolio. I assume the criteria of ranking the ETFs are the same as stocks, so I would like your recommendation on how you would rank these five. Also which ones amongst them five are the ones that you would strongly recommend that I should/"must" own.

Thank you.
