Main Topic: EMF and eDGI share their choice regarding the ultimate dividend stock to buy for their kids at Christmas Listener Questions: This week we received multiple questions from our loyal listeners. Phil - How much time do you normally spend before making an investment decision? Any "safety timer" so that you do not spend too much time reading more and more documents/news/reports? Dividend Dane - Do you have views on geographic allocation? US, Europe, Asia (incl. Australia/NZ), Emerging markets etc. Piotr - how to allocate different currencies and how to mitigate currency risk. Especially here I am curious how do you @European_DGI  handle this living with PLN and high fluctuations of it. Also Letus Compound asked this: How to incorporate the current rise of the euro vs the dollar in valuation models? Is this opportunity or not? Lets compound - How long do you have 'patience' with a stock? For example a company with strong and growing profits, but for some reason the stock price doesn't follow.(small stock, underfollowed,...) East_set - What do you think about market timing. I am unsure if investing right now is a wise decision as many people expect a downturn. On the other hand every study suggests that trying to time the market and staying out of it for longer leads to less returns ? Rafa Martinez Valera - I want to ask if you have reviewed Logista(LOG)seems like a DGI but very thin margins and 2020 free cash flow (very positive)affected by changes in IRFS 16 Kurt - Which techniques do you both use WHEN to write a call or put on your shares? Stock Pick Last but not least, EMF  shares his stock pick of the week. It’s a Sweedish REIT who are leading the way in sustainability. Final Thoughts: We hope that you enjoy today’s episode.
