Q: What do you think of this fund? Wanting to put some of my elderly parent's cash in USD. Can you put Canadian dollars into this, or do you need to convert it first (trying to avoid transaction fees)? Also, as I read about it, it seems to have a fair number of Canadian holdings. Does that make sense? Thanks.

Q: It seems a lot of investors are trying to guess which pharmaceutical company will win the vaccine lottery. Assuming there is a vaccine developed by one of these private companies nobody knows what type of profit margin there will be. That seems like a high risk investment strategy to me. Logic suggests that the amount of money I, or my government, will spend to buy my COVID-19 vaccine will pale in comparison with the amount that will we will all spend on PPE, other medical equipment, hand sanitizer, etc, Rather than gamble on which company may win the vaccine lottery wouldn’t it make more sense to invest in XLV or other ETFs which include the companies that are guaranteed to benefit from all of this extra business?

Q: Hi, on a risk reward basis , what are the 3 oil companies you would invest with the highest leverage to oil prices ?, this will be no more than 2% of my portfolio, so I can take the risk of losing it if they go bankrupt .
