Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Last year an airline in Europe gave us a Wirecard for taking a later flight . We used it for shopping and restaurants and then cashed in the balance for Euros at an ATM . Great concept that has grown incredibly according to Handelsblatt . Is there an ADR or even an OTC listing for this ? Is there a similar card in North America ?
Thanks

Q: I own shares in Volkswagen. I have received a corporate action notice advising that they are cancelling the Ordinary share sponsored ADR program. I have the option to either receive 2 Unsponsored ordinary share ADRs for each Sponsored ordinary share ADR exchanged or exchange 5 ADRs plus pay any charges or fees per ADR to receive one ordinary share of Volkswagen AG.

Why would a company terminate sponsored ADRs? Would it be better to reveive Unsponsored ADRs or Ordinary shares?

Q: First off, my apologies to all the members for the recent sell-off in the markets. I should have warned your readers that I decided to put some money to use at the end of last week so there would inevitably be a sell-off not too long afterwards.

But seriously, I was wondering if you could provide any insight/feedback/critique into whether it makes sense to view the projected growth in market development in African nations in the coming years and decades as a viable investment thesis. If so, do you have any suggestions on how to invest in Africa? A cursory exploration led to Fairfax Africa (FAH.U) - does this seem like a worthwhile investment? Are there any other suggestions I could investigate further?

Thanks in advance,
Rory

Q: I am interested in investing in a company that is involved in Esports. Esports had 3 times the viewing audience of Netflix last year and it is skyrocketing in its customer usage around the world. Are there any companies that you are aware of that would be a good entry into this market?
