Q: In your response to a previous question where I was looking to replace VWO with a Canadian equivalent, you suggested VEE. The TD Webbroker site shows VWO with a dividend yield of 2.15% and VEE with 1.34%. Can you confirm these numbers and if they track the same index why would there be any noteworthy difference?

Q: I know this is a difficult question, but can you think of some companies where downside is limited, but upside is large? I think GUD might be one since they have so much cash - are there other companies with similar attributes?

Q: I have very little invested outside of Canada and would like to increase foreign investments. What are the tax ramifications if any, of investing in index funds such as Vanguard or Ishares in a taxable account? I suspect that there may be a withholding tax.

What would your 3 favourites be for investing outside of North America?

Thanks
Ron

Q: Good Morning: I sent this question in last week but am assuming it got lost in cyberspace somehow. I am looking for a recommendation on a materials etf since I am very light in this space. My only holding at the moment is BHP. Also, is this a space that you would consider it necessary or important to have some exposure to at this time or in the near future. Thanks.

Q: Hello, this is in regard of the Income Portfolio. Are you going to keep Absolute Software (ABT) in the portfolio? The stock seems to perform poorly, do you see a brighter future for ABT? Knowing that AGU is now Nutrien (NTR), are you going to keep NTR in the portfolio? Do you know the dividend yield of NTR? Regards, Gervais
