Q: i currently have almost $20000 in U.S. cash in my porfolio.
am looking to invest in the U.S. Banks.
would i be better off in investing in a U.S. bank etf or would i benefit more by transferring my U.S. funds to Canadian dollars and using either ZBK or ZUB??
or would you suggest a U.S. Regional bank etf?
these funds are not in a RRIF or other registered retirement account.

Q: With the latest news about CBL and the big drop in stock price, what do you suggest a shareholder do (if anything)? Can this company be trusted? They report earnings Thursday after the close but can we believe what they say? I stayed "patient" with DH, Concordia, and HCG only to add to the initial losses. Do you think they can recover from this even if it is shown that no fraud has occurred? As usual, your thoughts please.
Thank you

Q: Hello, you have mentioned before that HR.UN has $6 billion in debt. When I look at the data on TMX Money the company has a market cap of just over $6 billion. A) Does that worry you to see that the debt and the market cap are of about the same magnitude? B) What is HR.UN debt-to-cash flow ratio? Is that too high? HR.UN is not performing well in 2017, may be this is just cyclical I don't know. Regards, Gervais
