Q: I have been recently reading more about the SolarWinds hack and the desperate need for beefing up cyber security. I know CrowdStrike is one of your favourites and you have brought up the potential Arctic Wolf IPO. Just wondering if any other companies are interesting in the cyber security space.

Thanks for your great service.

Q: I had the misfortune of investing in this company (hint: never take investing advice from a neighbour!) prior to the Cease Trade Order being issued. Is there any possibility that it will resume trading on the TSX at some point in the future. If not, can I sell my shares through my Canadian Webbroker account on the OTC Pink Sheets exchange?

Q: My understanding (misunderstanding?) is that MLPs are subject to very high withholding taxes when held by Canadians. From some comments on MLPs I've seen in the past, I had the impresssion that its not always possible to determine the cost of the fees.
1. Does the fact that AMZA is an ETF of MLPs (rather than an MLP itself) change any of this?
2. Is the withholding a fixed percent of the distribution or does it vary based on the make up of the distribution?
3. Is there an account type that would be better or worse to hold this ETF?

Thanks,

Q: I hold SDOW with a tight stop. Am considering using Am considering using HSD as a further hedge(again with a tight stop) to increase my hedge against a downturn. Other than the fact it tracks S and P 500, is a double bear rather than triple, and is Canadian listed, would HSD work similarly? Am a sophisticated investor, thanks for your comments, Bill
