Q: In previous comments about this company, you expressed some reservations as you felt there was a lot of competition in the space. I have Sirius in my car and think the product is excellent and I am not aware of any competition. Could you elaborate. Thanks, Bill

Q: This is a follow up question from Kristine's question on SDIV.US on October 21, 2015. Global X SDIV vs. DIV seems to be a Global vs. US equities ETF comparison, but can you recommend any comparable, better options to consider? (taking into account comparable monthly yields). Also looking to hold this in a $USD account, not concerned about tax implications for this comparison - just looking for fund recommendations only. Thx!

Q: Hello everyone. This has been a painful investment for me. I believe in the turnaround in this name so I have increased my position. One has to look back to DEC 2008 to find the stock price down at these levels. Yes things are different but when I add up the some of the parts if someone was to strip it down and sell off it seems to be at a discount. Could I have your view on what you see the dollar per share for the some of the parts/cash and also the dividend going forward. Thank you again for your assessment. Jay

Q: Hello team,

Please inform me how these fixed income ETF'S are taxed?

Thanks for your help

Q: You can still place an expression of interest for Hydro One shares at Virtual Brokers. iTRADE had their books open for almost a week: to me this indicates demand is not high and shares are unlikely to lift on the first day of trading unless shares are priced at the low end of the range. Publish if you think this is instructive.

Q: In reference to your answer to Bruce about Shaw Communications. You indicated that it is owned largely by Rogers Communications. I thought it was owned by the SHAW family, thus the dual class share structure. Are you saying that Rogers is a major shareholder and what percentage do they hold? Can you clarify this please?

Q: Cummins appears to have a strong balance sheet and excellent dividend growth but it's down quite a bit in price. Would CMI-N be a good long term value buy or is this one a falling knife?

Q: I have held this company for some time and I'm down significantly on it. I lost money on it back in the day when it really was a tech company. I'm a slow learner. The stock hasn't done anything in the last 5 years except loose value. Over the last month it is down almost 8%, 16% over the last 6 months and 26.5% over the last year. In 5 years it has lost 45% of its value.

I'm not sure about its business model. To me it is bordering on extortion and I'm not sure how much growth there is going forward. The company put itself up for sale and no one would touch it. The only ones making money on this company are the lawyers.

I've lost patience and am going to sell WIN. I guess your metrics make it a 'B' on your report but I don't understand keeping it in the 'Income Portfolio'. The dividend looks very attractive, however, the decline in share value has more than eaten that up.
