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: 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!
