Investment Q&A

Q: Would you have a recommendation for an ETF (preferably in US$) for China or Asia that would include majors like Alibaba. China appears to become interesting with international accessibility to the Shanghai Exchange in the near future.
Thank you!

Q: Did you listen to PPL's conference call last week on their results and if so, your thoughts. TD Securities Nov 6 raised the target price to $57.
As always, thanks

Q: hello 5i:
I'd like to have some US bond diversification in our portfolio and research shows some good ETfs from both Dodge and Cox,and Fidelity. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be available thru either BMO Investorline or Scotia iTrade. Please suggest some alternative options for me, as I've found little to nothing available, other than Canadian bond ETFs and mutual funds. I've found Emerging Market and European bond funds and ETFs available in US dollars, but these are not of interest. Can you help with either mutual funds, or, preferably, good ETFs. Or, can you suggest a way to buy the Dodge and Cox or Fidelity ETFs I mentioned earlier.
thanks

Q: I Looking at a 5yr chart of CBO & CLF which show they have declined in value by about 6% over that period. Bonds are supposed to go up during periods of declining interest rates. trying to get an intuitive handle on this I was led into the swamp of Duration & rolling down the yield curve, neither of which is intuitive. I concluded that CBO.. managers are exploiting volatility to enhance the yield/Cap gain and paying out a mixture of of coupons & trading gains. This would mean that the decline or growth in NPV of CBO.. is not a metric that can be easily interpreted. Could the NPV rise in a slowly rising interest rate? Can you provide an intuitive way to understand CBO..s varying value

I appreciate your answers every day

Q: The Q3 for Ainsworth is now out but I have trouble making much sense of the numbers. Is it time to bail on ANS or is it worth holding for another awhile longer? OSB does not seem to be inclined to move one way or the other.
