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: Good morning,

Thoughts on RBC’s quarter. Seems decent on most metrics but guessing that the pressure on the price today may be related to higher than expected PCLs?

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.
