Q: Hello, given the current US$ exchange rate and the loses still incurred on a handful of CDN stocks, I'd like to hear your thoughts on selling the decent dividend but significant double digit % loses to acquire more US$ and move it into GOOG & FB. Alternatively I have considered adding to VFV or starting a position in VGRO and leave it as CDN$. I am ~25% in USD of which I plan to use so I am not concerned with adding a few more points of USD. Thank you for your opinion.

Q: The decline of RBX to $.40 and the decline of NWX (due to reports of lower oil reserves at Beach, the firm they have a 2.5% royalty on) seem to make them ridiculously good value at first glance. Which of them is the better speculative, medium-term purchase at this time?

Q: I have a question about the Emerge ARK ETFs vs the ARK ETFs in the US (under Cathy). I was thinking of buying the Cdn version but am a little concerned. My understanding is that the ARK funds (under Cathy) in the US charge a "total" of 0.75% for their services. Their Cdn version, the Emerge ETFs, I thought charged 0.80% for their services but looking closer, they appear to charge a "total" of 1.15% which consists of the mgmt fee and other expenses I assume.

I believe I have to look at the MER to see the total cost and not the mgmt fee?

Is it possible the extra costs are for converting Cdn $s into US $s to acquire US equities?

I assume we are better off buying the ARK etfs in the US under Cathy?

If you could confirm my understanding of the above few questions it would be appreciated. Thanks.
