Q: Hi 5i Team

I'm thinking of buying ENB. I can use either my margin or RRSP account and either my CAD or USD account (so 4 choices). Question: If I buy using the USD account (so NYSE) does the US withholding tax apply even though it is a Canadian company? If I've filled out the withholding tax form (W-8BEN) does that eliminate the withholding tax in any event?

Thanks
Peter

Q: Hi 5i
With its recent run up would you predict CGNX to continue to run following its next qaurterly release (assuming all is well) or take a breather to catch up with expectations?
Is this a name that you would consider good for a trade or better as a long term hold? I'm holding for medium to long term as due to a small position, weighting shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks
Mike
