Q: I have a base of preferred shares ETFs to help counterbalance the tech stocks and their volatility, and these ETFs generally move very little in a day. Wednesday was an exception, with TPRF and CPD in particular, down more than 1%, and the others down quite a bit, as well. This despite the TSX and all other indices being up.
