Q: Norbert's Gambit appears to work well to convert CAD to USD. However, this Gambit does not work for the reverse conversion. Do you have any suggestions as to how to limit your foreign exchange conversion fee, while limiting risk, when converting from USD to CAD?

Thank you for your insightful advice.

Q: Iiroc stopped trading yesterday. Looking back at the release it names the stock Mene.WT and it trades on V.
Does the WT stand for warrant ? If so I don’t recall ever seeing this, please clarify.
Also on their Q3 results they have reported their first quarterly operating income, after going public less than 3 years ago. Is this significant, and would you buy the stock ?
Thanks for your help.
