Q: Hi there
I have followed UNS stock price for many years and like the company but it was always a bit expensive. I see it is hitting 52 week lows. Wonder why this is and whether it is a buying opportunity. Do you like it long term?

Q: Reference to important note to John Sept.11 (misc) stating that US stocks in a Cdn ETF will pay the 15% with holding tax (even in a RRSP)) and is not recoverable.

So if I want to own an unhedged SP 500 ETF in my RRSP I should buy one that is listed on an American stock exchange to avoid the non recoverable 15% tax ? Thanks
