Q: Peter, what are your thoughts on Clean Teq (CLTQF-OTC), chaired by Canadian mining old hand Robert Friedland? It has done very well for me over the past 12 months but it seems to be in the right space and with the right resource (cobalt used in ev batteries etc.) to have a long, clear growth runway ahead.

Also, it is hard to find cobalt producers outside the DRC. This from Seeking Alpha: "Clean TeQ (OTCQX:CTEQF) is poised to become the largest producer of cobalt outside of Democratic Republic of Congo, the wobbly country which produces more than 53% of world's cobalt yet is notorious for its geopolitical instability."

Could you comment on the fundamentals of the company?

Q: Hello team, thank you in advance for your perspective. If the US and Canadian dollar fall relative to the Euro, can one predict whether it would be more helpful to own a European ETF in CAD or US dollars? Is it more advantageous to own both a hedged and unhedged version of Europe to help cancel out currency effects? Would you consider a combination of the above two funds as one way to cover off potential currency changes? Please deduct as many points as appropriate to help enhance my understanding of this puzzle.

Q: Hi 5i Team

I'm thinking of buying ENB. I can use either my margin or RRSP account and either my CAD or USD account (so 4 choices). Question: If I buy using the USD account (so NYSE) does the US withholding tax apply even though it is a Canadian company? If I've filled out the withholding tax form (W-8BEN) does that eliminate the withholding tax in any event?

Thanks
Peter

Q: Hi 5i
With its recent run up would you predict CGNX to continue to run following its next qaurterly release (assuming all is well) or take a breather to catch up with expectations?
Is this a name that you would consider good for a trade or better as a long term hold? I'm holding for medium to long term as due to a small position, weighting shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks
Mike
