Q: What is your opinion on the use of CDR's (Canadian Deposit Receipts) for the purchase of US Stocks? Also, what type of accounts would be the most beneficial and be the most risk in the use of them, RRSP, TSFA, RESP, or non-registered accounts?
I've recently purchased Palo Alta, Visa and Adobe using CDR's and it seems to be a way of getting US exposure while avoiding the immediate approximate 30% currency exchange, while using a CAD hedging process.
If you are somewhat positive on CDR's, what other US stocks would be good considerations.

thanks,

Q: Not sure if this is a legit question for you. When there was a class action lawsuit on XBC, you indicated in an answer to one of your members that it wasn't worth your time. Would you mind giving your opinion about the TD Class Action lawsuit, covering the period December 3, 2015 to March 9, 2017. I can only verify that I held 153 shares. Thanks.

Thanks,

Q: Dear 5i team.

Are the holdings in these two different enough to hold both? Is the lower mer of life good enough reason to only own it?
Understanding that they are covered call etfs, which non covered call etf would compliment them best to gain upside to sector rallies?

Thanks for your insights.

Q: I am attracted to long term holdings. Been watching WELL hammering on technical support of about $3.65 for weeks now. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger.

Looking at their growing revenue and P/S multiple, those numbers look quite good for a small cap. Is there a better metric for this particular company? What do you think is the biggest negative that investors see in this stock at the moment?

Q: Good Day 5i team!

My question is around DRX and your thoughts around taking a bigger position? The stock has had a good run, has work in the pipeline and will likely gain some traction fueled by high-rise residential and infrastructure work. Next TVE, which I hold a small position in my RRSP and am thinking about adding more. Mostly due to the dividend and that energy should be a growth area in the coming years.

Thank you so much for all your efforts in adding clarity to this crazy world of investing!
