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

Q: Everyone, how do you deal with a socially unacceptable stock that outperforms the averages. I personally do not like what FB does for our society and have never owned the stock for that reason. Is the market about making money or shunning stocks that you personnlly dislike for various reasons. Clayton

Q: Hi,

1) Is there an advantage to holding PHYS:CA vs. PHYS:US? How do they stack up with currency fluctuations?

2) Is there any risk with PHYS:US trading on a US exchange if the US goes crazy about Canadians investing in the US? Would it be better to hold PHYS:CA?

Thanks for the help. Michael

Q: I wish to buy some US stocks. In the past I have simply sent CAD to my US account and paid the exchange. Now with Canadian Depositary Receipts being available what is the real cost of owning them. My instincts tell me that there must be a fee somewhere or they wouldn’t go to the trouble of creating this type of transaction.
My other option is to try Norbert’s Gambet and save the exchange rate.
Your comments please.
