Q: There have been a few questions lately about dividends paid in USD into USD denominated accounts. In my experience with RBC, the USD-denominated dividends of BEP.UN were first converted to Cdn dollars at the official exchange rate by the company that distributed the dividends and then converted back to US-dollars at RBC's exchange rate. As a result, one gets less of a dividend than expected and, in my mind, this defeats the purpose of collecting the dividend in the USD-denominated account. Buyer beware.

Q: Hi, I have been increasingly hearing that after a long period of growth stocks significantly outperforming value stocks that the tide may be turning and a major shift to value stocks may be underway and in the early stages. Time will tell if this is correct but meantime would you be able to recommend some value oriented Canadian ETF’s that would most benefit frommsuch a rotation? Thanks.

Q: Hello
I recently sold some SU and one lot filled at 42.745. I thought stocks of this value trade at even penny increments. Is this normal or did broker make mistake?

Q: Hi 5i Team.
Can you suggest some companies, or ETF's, that have a high leverage to the prices of gold and silver? Any other suggestions on how to play that market is immensely appreciated? Is your opinion on the strength of gold and silver, positive, for the near/intermediate future? Thank you!
