(A Top Pick Mar 29/18, Up 6%) There was concern about volatility when he recommended it.
Daniel Straus(A Top Pick Aug 17/15. Down 1.05%.) This minimizes volatility. EAFE has had less of good run, and in fact you are lucky to get your money back over the past year. This at least gives you exposure to a part of the world that you normally wouldn’t have, without a lot of volatility along the way.
John DeGoey
This gives you Europe, Asia and the Far East. It gets you out of Canada, and if you are concerned about volatility it minimizes it.
John DeGoeyNew ETF for Europe, Asia and far east with minimum volatility. Europe is the most beaten up of the 3 and if you want to get into this part of the world, it’s a good time to get in with low volatility.
