Q: My understanding (misunderstanding?) is that MLPs are subject to very high withholding taxes when held by Canadians. From some comments on MLPs I've seen in the past, I had the impresssion that its not always possible to determine the cost of the fees.
1. Does the fact that AMZA is an ETF of MLPs (rather than an MLP itself) change any of this?
2. Is the withholding a fixed percent of the distribution or does it vary based on the make up of the distribution?
3. Is there an account type that would be better or worse to hold this ETF?

Thanks,

Q: I hold SDOW with a tight stop. Am considering using Am considering using HSD as a further hedge(again with a tight stop) to increase my hedge against a downturn. Other than the fact it tracks S and P 500, is a double bear rather than triple, and is Canadian listed, would HSD work similarly? Am a sophisticated investor, thanks for your comments, Bill

Q: Hello,
With several US states and cities considering legalizing the use of marijuana in one form or another do you consider this a calculated growth opportunity for the next several years? If so, how would you recommend playing it, i.e. individual stock like CGC or an index like the list above. Please include any company or index you like that I have not listed. Would you rank you recommendations in or order. Thank you

As always.. amazing job team!

Q: I took a position in BLOK:US on the recommendation of a contributor to your Canadian Money Magaine (BTW I give each of my three children a subscription for Christmas becasue it is simply the best financial advice product anywhere). The thesis of the nvestment was to participate in AI for the future. I put it away as a long term investment. BLOK has been showing extraordianary growth lately. I'm not sure why? Is there a specific reason? Is it a long term hold or a sell opportunity? David
