Q: Is there a short term money ETF that trades in the US that also trades in CDN that can be used to transfer money back and forth? I am thinking of ETFs like PSA in Canada or FLOT in US.

Q: I hear that Barrick Gold might be interested in purchasing a gold company in Canada which produces at least 500,000 ounces of gold yearly. Do you think that Kirkland Lake Gold might be a candidate for a takeover by Barrick Gold? KL seems to fill all of Barrick's requirements. What are your feelings on such a takeover? Tnx

Q: I recently purchased FTN .to (Financial Split Shares Corp) as the NAV dropped below $15.00, the dividend was cancelled, and the share price dropped to $3.50 The NAV was $14.45 at Dec 31. Since Jan 2 the US and Canadian bank stocks have started a bit of a recovery and it seems like it wont take too much to regain the $15.00 NAV and dividend reinstatement.
What is your outlook for Canadian and US banks for the coming year and am I treading on thin ice here?? I know you aren't a particular fan of split shares, but it seems like there would be some nice capital gains and dividend if the NAV does go back over $15.
Thank you so much for your valued opinion.
