Q: Hi Team,
I've used Norbett's Gambit a couple of times to buy regular American Companies like Visa or Starbucks.
Now I'm interested in a fund with a '.u' designation. Is it better to convert to USD funds and then buy, or just buy it through Questrade in Canadian dollars?
Just for readers' information, Questrade now prefers an e-mail rather than a chat or phone call to journal the funds.
Thanks as always.

Q: Hello, split shares have dropped quite a lot recently. Most are well below the $5 threshold (DF-$3.08, DGS-$3.50, FFN-$3.52), where monthly dividends ($0.07-0.08) are distributed. Most of the companies that are being held in split shares are bank stocks and other high quality Canadian stocks.
I am trying to better understand the risks of owning split shares. I estimate the only circumstances I would not collect dividends are when:
1) the prices of the equity inside the split shares never go back to the normal level, and
2) the dividend-paying equity inside the split shares cuts and suspends dividends.
What other risks can you think of? Do you think the risk outweighs the rewards?
Thanks

Q: Hi,
As a South African, I have had an affinity for Gold and Gold stocks over the years. I knew about the Krugerrand when I was just a child, lol. However, I have to say that I have never really made money from holding onto gold stocks. I own KL, AGI and BTO and except for KL i am losing money on the other two. If I can’t make money in this environment of excessive money printing and low interest rates , I wonder when I ever can. Over the years, I have been disappointed with gold stocks, with a buying and hold strategy working in my disfavour and waiting 5 years to just then break even. I do have a diversified portfolio and thanks to 5 I for some of the great ideas. Your comments are appreciated?

Q: Hi Team,
Not many questions have been posted on FOOD. You said you were impressed with the last quarter. What more are you looking for on this one in order to consider it for something like the growth portfolio?
Is the generally low margin for food companies a deal breaker for this company?
Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
Your advice is usually to sell a particular stock when its value exceeds a set percentage of your portfolio or when there is a material change. Would you consider the downgraded earnings forecast by AYX management as a material change? Thanks.

Q: Which 5 Canadian and US companies would 5i want to be holding when we get a significant market moving vaccine/treatment announcement? Tech and gold have been powerful during the pandemic but I want to make sure I am considering the right companies to add to provide balance if tech pauses and different sectors are needed for a leg higher.
