Q: Hello,
What ADR would you suggest for Volkswagen?
I've owned VWAGY on the OTC Pink. Somewhat liquid and appears to pay dividends once a year.
Is there a better way to own this company in my TD USD trading account?
Thanks

Q: I got into upstart about 5 weeks ago and it has since increased 78%. Is this a hot potato where I should take at least some (taxable) profits? It's pushing 6% of my equity. I guess my real question is given the tear this has been on, would you be more skittish and pull the take profits button here earlier than normal. Thanks.

Q: My impression is that you would not recommend buying Chinese internet stocks. However, would you recommend a Chinese internet index fund to take advantage of the political interference. Alibaba and others are so inexpensive relative to their peers.
Of course this would be an investment limited to 1-2% of my portfolio.

Q: I've heard it said, invest in what you know and what I know for sure is we need food and water to survive. So I'm looking to purchase two stocks in my portfolio in the agricultural sector. I am looking for dividend and some growth. If that stock offers diversity and/or a technical play even better. But first and foremost, what these investments have to offer is something the world can't do without.
What would be your picks out of the above list and why?
