Q: Many analysts on BNN are recommending owning US banks vs Canadian, as dividend growth looks better for the US banks.. Would the benefit of owning a US bank be worth sacrificing the dividend tax break Canadians currently get,and the currency conversion to US dollars. Thank you

Q: In your response this morning you stated: "we think adding a bit of unhedged exposure (VUN) is still worthwhile from a diversification perspective." Does this mean you are recommending the hedged ETF as the largest purchase? I understood from your past responses that for long term investments you favour unhedged ETFs.

Q: Hi just as a follow up to my earlier question on the fintech space and global payments (GPN). You suggested Paypal, square and Shopify. Can you rank them in order of preference? Thanks

Q: Good morning,

Global payments was highlighted as a promising fintech stock by Citigroup. What do you think of this company? Would you be a buyer? Or would you have an alternative suggestion in the space (mastercard and visa already owned)

Thank you

Karim

Q: I typed these 3 companies into the companies addressed box and none showed up - they are from the US on deck watch list - Take Two (TTWO), SORL AUTOPARTS, GPRK GEO PARK. So I went about it this way to ask about them. Could you give me your opinion about them and is it too late to get into them now? Thanks, Dennis

Q: It seems like the places to be near and mid term are US and Europe for growth and not Canada for the time being. I have exposure in Canada already with Utility and Financial dividend payers which I will continue to hold, could you recommend your favorite ETFs for some exposure to US, Europe and possible Emerging markets if you like the EM.
Also, could you comment on the "Hedged to CAD" ETFs---It seems to me we trade ETFs like stocks through our brokerage accounts in CAD, so why worry what the ETF managers are doing as far as currency is concerned?

Q: HELP, I am a confused investor trying to sort out the world of Technology stocks. What I would like is a meaningful way to categorize technology companies, particularly US tech. co's. For example:
PFPT is a security provider.
TSM and AVGO are semiconductor co's.
NVDA does graphics
IBM is an IT co.
5iR Team help.....could you breakdown internet tech into some subcategories and perhaps give me a US stock name for each that would allow me to do some research. In other words I see the forest but help me name the trees.
Thanks team. Chris
