Q: What is your opinion on the use of CDR's (Canadian Deposit Receipts) for the purchase of US Stocks? Also, what type of accounts would be the most beneficial and be the most risk in the use of them, RRSP, TSFA, RESP, or non-registered accounts?
I've recently purchased Palo Alta, Visa and Adobe using CDR's and it seems to be a way of getting US exposure while avoiding the immediate approximate 30% currency exchange, while using a CAD hedging process.
If you are somewhat positive on CDR's, what other US stocks would be good considerations.

thanks,

Q: Not sure if this is a legit question for you. When there was a class action lawsuit on XBC, you indicated in an answer to one of your members that it wasn't worth your time. Would you mind giving your opinion about the TD Class Action lawsuit, covering the period December 3, 2015 to March 9, 2017. I can only verify that I held 153 shares. Thanks.
