Q: Are there any advantages to purchasing an international ETF off of a US exchange in US dollars. My understanding is that withholdings taxes would be the same as Canadian ETF's as long as both ETF's hold individual securities.

Q: Do you think there could be some kind of manipulation on this stock. This has not budged during the surge. I think it is to good a company to be stuck here. Do you think myself and many others get pulled into these conspiracies when really it is just the market doing its thing most of the time.

Q: Hi 5i,

Longtime suffering- and dollar-cost-average-down holder of Goldmoney (since 2018). The business model ought perform nicely in a market that increasingly embraces gold as an investment/inflation hedge.

So, the questions are: (i) when do figure XAU will get to join the gold party? (ii) has XAU's attractiveness as a handsome takeover target by one of the Big 6 increased since last you commented (~2021)?

Thanks!
