Q: Hello.
At the moment Assure Holdings reminds me of CRH or PHM before the market took notice and the explosive share price gains that followed. Can you comment on valuation and overall as a speculative position? It looks quite cheap to me albeit a very limited public reporting history. Keystone recently recommended the stock as a spec buy. I'm interested to get 5i's take. Thanks.

Q: I would like to ask for your opinion and comment on my investment approach with reference to hedged to CAD or un-hedged versions of ETF's available from Canadian issuers. My approach has been the following:
- keep US equity ETF un-hedged;
- keep developed and emerging international equity ETF's hedged to CAD;
- keep US bond ETF's hedged to CAD.
I am aware that this approach was not too benefitial during the past month or two, and I am starting to have second thoughts, but I figure I better ask for a second opinion from a pro before I make any changes. This is where you guys step in...
Thank you.

Her investment horizon is medium to long term so holding it is not a problem unless the fundamentals have gone bad. I realize same store growth has not been good recently, which is not a surprise. Is there anything else going on that would make it advisable to cut losses now?
