Q: Hello,
I have follow up questions on your June 19 response to Scott. I am not a shareholder and not planning on becoming one - Just curious about the next steps following the defaults.

You mentioned the convertible holders may issue stock causing massive dilution. It is essentially a takeover to take control of the asset disposition process and negotiation with the 1st mortgagees.

Are debentures always convertibles?

I presume the 1st mortgagee for each property owned will also send their notice of default and ask for repayment / start the foreclosure process. Is that correct and do the convertible owners have any remedy to try protecting the remaining equity?
Just looking for your general comments to understand next steps. Thank you for your great service.

Q: Hi 5i,

I have a question about currency as it relates to investments made to the TSX or US stock exchanges.

I am embarrassed to ask given this was likely a rookie move; posting publicly in case it helps others.

I have made investments via my TFSA, LIRA, RRSP and self directed investment account in some US equities (above).

What I perceive now to be a "problem" is that all purchases of US stocks (including those with dividends) were made out of my CA account of said RRSP, TFSA, LIRA etc. given I did not hold any USD$ in my investment accounts.

Yesterday there were a few questions around Norbert’s Gambit approach (which I am not familiar with) and I have since realized the error of my ways. Here are my questions - knowing you cannot personalize responses - but if it were YOU :

- 1) As a Canadian, should the purchase of any US equity always be purchased using US funds in said investment account? OR when available - should you purchase on the CA stock exchange?

- 2) What is the best way to transfer CAD from said investment account into the US corresponding account if one wants to be mindful of fees, exchange rates etc. (is that Norbert's approach?)

-3) What would you suggest I do for the US equities I currently own in CA accounts? Is there anything to do?

Please use any credits you see fit.
Thanks a Million.

Q: Hello Team,
I am newbie when it comes to understanding Bitcoin as a digital currency. But we continue to become more and more of a digital world.
I understand this year, the SEC approved ETFs that can be bought and sold on the exchange providing more options for liquidity. Is this also the case for Canada?
Do you believe Bitcoin would be reasonable investment holding as a small portion (say less than 10%) of an total portfolio.
Do you see a reasonable future /demand and use for bitcoin?
If yes, could you recommend 3 bitcoin ETFs that reasonable AUM and daily volumes
Thank you,

I understand there a number of questions here that require the use of more credits. That is fine and look forward, as usual to your respone.
