Q: Hi,

I am looking at investing new cash and at this time wish to purchase non-US and non-Canadian companies. I know you don’t typically cover the non-North American markets but you have frequently commented on GRMN, NBIS and ASML.

Would you have any other suggestions for outside NA equities, regardless of sector, that represent good long-term potential total returns?

Thank you, Michael

Q: I have a fairly large chunk of US cash invested in a 'High-Interest Savings Account' which earns 3.15% interest. The interest has not kept up with the loss in value of the US dollar. Can you suggest a similar kind of investment based on Euros or Swiss Francs which can be purchased through TD Direct? Or do you have a better low-risk idea for this money? (I am pessimistic about both the USD and CAD keeping their value against other currencies.)

Q: Having wanting to diversify from my non registered account of mainly banks, utilities and pipelines, I have followed these 4 stocks for quite sometime. Bought BN ( up ) a year ago and WSP just recently; both half positions. Now is too early for TRI as it is impossible to determine the winners and losers in the software AI issue besides I already own LMN ( down down ) in my TFSA. Based on management’s handling of previous downturns, I have TFII on the radar. Are there any large Canadian companies with international exposure you would suggest ? Should I just bring BN and WSP up to full position? I am looking at BIPC but would that be too much Brookfield ?
I stay away from oil and commodity companies.
Thanks . Derek

Q: Both GSY (go easy) and Well health float at annual lows. When are they expected to report? Is the current valuation "fair value" given what we know today? or are they trading at a discount

Q: I am seeking to increase my international exposure and financials. What do you think of this company at this current price? To what extent are current metrics comparable to other financials such as PRL or GSY? It is significantly lower than the IPO price and the prospects for growth has not disappeared. Buy, Sell, Hold? If a buy, would you recommend buying a third, half, or full position?

Q: I understand that both DLR and DLR.U trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange: one in Canadian dollars and one in American dollars. Does this mean that I can run Norbert's Gambit on the TSX without involving the New York Exchange?

Q: Ultra Clean Holdings Inc(UCTT) Is up 200% since almost a year ago and Ichor Holdings, Ltd. (ICHR) has followed suit by 220%.

Can you explain why they move in tandem so often or is that a fluke? Why the meteoric rise in a year’s time? What do the companies do ?Please comment on the outlook for both, their balance sheets, on insider ownership buys/sells and the industry they serve. How does your opinion of them now compare to past opinions. Buy, hold or sell?
