Q: In a response to Howard today about ENB, you refer to US oil companies viewing Venezuelan oil as "investible", while I think Exxon referred to it as "UNinvestible". That's a big difference. Was it only Exxon that had concerns?
Thank-you

I was thinking of trimming my large position of Shop to buy some Grid. Return potential wise for say a 10yr period is this a feasible idea? My thoughts are that Grid being so much smaller might have more multi bag potential than shop at its current mega cap status.

Q: Hello, The Sprott Physical Silver Trust quotes in USD, but when you go to buy on the TSX it converts to CAD. If you don't have a USD account, then the order execution is in CAD funds, etc. Do you foresee this as an issue, or do you only recommend this fund if buying in USD. Is there a separation with the fund for USD and CAD denominated holdings. What is your recommendation on method to buy this fund. I did buy a position already in the CAD converted option.

Q: Great service. Do you foresee a buyer strike on US Treasuries given recent Trump activity and comments surrounding Venezuela, Greenland and others. If so, would this cause rates to rise? Is this a real concern or just paranoia on my part? It seems Europe, China and others cannot compete militarily but may begin to use economic leverage against the US. Thank you for your insights.
