Q: Hi Team, apples to oranges but I bought GILD a while back for growth. What would you consider if deciding to switch to CRH Medical. Size, geography, I know. But for a five year growth play does this make any sense from a risk return perspective? Thank you, Michael

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,
Is HXU designed to always give you plus or minus 200% of what XIU returns whether? I compared previous prices, and it seems to go that way. Given the structure of the ETF, can this change or I can assume it will be plus or minus 200 of the corresponding index? I am also looking at HGU the bull gold case versus XGD and similarly DIA versus DDM. I was looking at a trade idea if the market falls, simply buy the bull ETF so that when market picks up, i can get a higher return. Can you advise how they companies can do double the return (what financial instruments do they use). Thank you.

Q: Hello,

I am looking for a Canadian company that might get a boost from Cdn Defence spending due to US asking NATO members to spend more on defence.

I believe HRX has some defence exposure (although it appears by the stock price that it missed revenues?) Are there any others? Any you would suggest as a decent investment, as is, without increased spending? Please list them in preference.

Thank you,

Gerald
