Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Please give your updated (and substantive) opinion on Seagate. Your previous commentaries, although recent, were written before the gap down in STX price today. What are the company’s prospects? Is it strong enough to compete against Western Digital and others? Is STX at today’s lower price a good buy? Is dividend safe? Does STX have the wherewithal to make acquisitionists in a flash memory maker. I am looking more for your insight—your instincts based on facts. Thanks

Q: Can you confirm that ZUB is the better from a performance analysis standpoint. My take is that as both are priced (?) in CAN $, ZBK will reflect changes in the US/CAN $ relationship which are separate from the underlying bank performances while ZUB because it is hedged will be a more accurate measure of the underlying assets behaviour. Is this correct?

Q: Could you recommend an ETF that trades in Canada with Canadian funds that.
A. Invests in US savings accounts and pays some interest
B. Is unhedged
Would this be an effective way to play a possible drop in the Canadian dollar. Is there another way that this could be achieved without the cost of converting dollars?
