Q: On July 12-th you answered Austin's question on ZUB/ZBK. The difference in returns between the two funds can be significant depending on the timeframe compared. Would ZUB still be your pick today? What information would you use to switch between the two? Would you be adding at this point to the US banks exposure for long therm investment (10 years)?

Q: Good Morning,
I currently own equal amounts of BMO, NA, & RY. I am considering selling one of the three and replacing it with JPM. Do you think this strategy makes sense, and if so, which one of the Canadian Banks would you let go.
Thank you for this great service and all the best to you and your families for the holidays!

Q: I forget where I read it, but I hear that the Japanese stock market is in a recovery and growing. The writer suggested that the the N.A. markets will be heading into bearish territory in the next year or so. Th writer's thesis was that it would be a good time to buy Japanese stocks to diversify and guard one's portfolio against pullbacks. What do you think of this? Could you recommend any Japanese companies or etfs? Could you recommend a research platform to learn about Japanese or other foreign, publicly traded companies.

Q: Hello 5i,
can you help explain the fundamental service offering differences between these two companies. In my view they seem to be direct competitors to one another with little to differentiate them. Is the revenue model different between the two? What did PHM do to fall from grace? Which one would you invest in for a long term hold?
thanks
