Q: I would like to increase my international exposure to the stock market. Can you suggest some ETFs that meet that criteria. Moderate risk level.

I have seen VXUS recommended a lot, so I am considering that. Just want to have 2 more choices so I can compare before buying one of them.

Q: Good morning.

I have a sizeable amount of US dollars in my TFSA and RRIF accounts and intend to add international investments with that money. I can either just purchase the XEF.u with the US money or go thru the Norbert Gambit process to convert to canadian dollars and then buy the XEF ETF. My question is which would you recommend and also buying XEF.u in my TFSA which I believe is a Canadian listed ETF would there be a 15% US withholding tax on the dividends.

Many thanks.

Q: Quite a “Bullish” article on NBIS by Benzinga. Not sure if I believe it all however I’m definitely holding. Thank you very much for bringing this company to our (5i’s members) attention.

Q: Hi 5 i Team - First a general question. Sometimes EPS are negative while EBITDA is positive. Could you explain how each is calculated and which one is the more important marker.
Specifically this applies to AIDX's recent report where EPS was -2cents but EBITDA was $1.9 million.
Also is AIDX a company completely on its own or a subsidiary of another one.
Thanks.
