Q: I would like to purchase QQQ but in Canadian funds and not hedged. I think that QQQ.F.CA or XQQ are options. But I notice that QQQ shows about 10% better price increase over the last 3 years than the CDN options.
Are there other pros and cons of purchasing say XQQ instead of converting my cash to USD and buying QQQ?

Q: HiTeam:

Good day!

I am holding SCHW & SBNY with some 30% loss, and COLD some 7% loss. Should I let go the first two and hold the COLD?

Please take the points for each one as I have 3 companies in question.

Thank you.

Louisa

Q: Hi,

Which would you buy for the long term or is there a better choice? I'm surprised at the low beta of both ATVI and TTWO as I don't like volatility.
Would you wait or buy now?

Q: Hello
SRU.UN is involved in shopping centers, office buildings, high rise and low rise condominiums, rental residences, seniors' housing and self storage facilities.
Do you know what percentage of this REIT's income is derived from retail tenants, condominium/rental residences and storage facilities?
The dividend was not cut during the 2008/09 financial crisis. Do you think their dividend is vulnerable this time?
Will you average down at today's price or just hold?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hi, great insights lately, thanks! I'm slowly buying quality names, but pausing for now on ATD.B. Can you please counter my following doubts:
- They are relying a lot on revenue from gas stations, not only gas but mainly associated convenience stores. In the short term very few are visiting for gas, but even when things open up, people will just pay at the pump and not take the risk of going in for snacks, etc.
- Once they get past that which may be 1+ years, there is still the longer term trend away from gas stations.

This just seems to have the "Spin Master" feeling. What is the short and longer term compelling case to have them near the top of your lists? I'm supposing quality of management, valuation, hopefully recovery of business that that seen before this year?
