Q: Hi Team,
I am looking to invest in Europe for the first time in a few years. I have held XEU and FEZ. The biggest difference between them seems to be that FEZ includes only 50 large stocks (ASML is 10%) and excludes the UK. Over the last 6 months, XEU has begun to outpace FEZ. Which one do you prefer for a new position? Or would you suggest splitting the investment into both?

Q: With a record immigration numbers and very few pre-construction sales due to the spook that high rates have put into real estate investors, there is a massive shortage of new housing units that has yet to be felt by the market (in my opinion). I think this is a uniquely Canadian problem and wonder if you see any companies poised to outperform when rates are falling and housing starts begin to pick up? Could you name 3-4 companies that would benefit in different ways when the shortage of available housing starts to translate into a rapid increase in units built?

All else equal, can you guess how BCE's stock price could go up with a drop in BoC interest rates, say by 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%?

Q: Hi 5i
In your opinion do you think there is a strategic nature to leaked news of a potential " acquiring " of Nuvie?

As you mentioned the stock had been falling for a week to around $29.5 canadian now up today up around 28%....
....However If this news would have leaked 2 weeks ago at sp of around $36 canadian i believe management would have a harder time convincing shareholder that a potential $30 US take over price is a great price....
Am I dreaming ? Can you provide some commentary....
