Investment Q&A

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

Q: I am intending to use DLR & DLR.U for Norbert's Gambit to acquire USD in my account in order to fund the purchase of US equities & avoid the currency exchange fees, which even at Questrade are about 2%. With the anticipated increase in US interest rates in 2017 the USD is expected to increase in relation to the CDN$ so I am considering acquiring a larger amount of USD now which I could use later for either US or CDN equity purchases. Aside from the risk associated with the uncertainty of the relative value of the USD vs CDN$, do you see any negatives with this strategy?

Q: Got this name as one of your suggestions for US holdings.

Last week it took a big hit on earnings even though I thought the earnings looked good.

Can you give me your take, were there any material changes IYO, and do you have any concerns re the company going forward?

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: I know this is a bit of a crytal ball question. But do you expect the Bayer deal to go through? Any idea how long it would take?

I have held this for a couple of years and am wondering if the funds could be put to better use with a company like NVDA, ULTA or FB .... even though they are all in different industries?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
