Q: CXS continues to drop by a fair bit each day, with no apparent news of any kind to explain why. Is it possible that simply announcing a post-results conference call for investors on Nov 15 is giving investors the jitters? Thanks.

Q: Greetings Team:

I stumbled into 10 shares of ELF last year on a recommendation of Moneysense magazine. It has done well and is now halted on an offering of $75 per share special dividend. What do you think of the company and what might happen such that you would consider selling.
I am another investor who thanks you for your excellent advise.

Q: Hi
I read your excellent answer to Dave this morning in which you say "The main drivers to equities are (1) earnings (2) interest rates and (3) money flows (people going to cash/shifting from bonds to stocks). If earnings are strong and growing, and interest rates are low (i.e right now), it is hard to predict a big fall in the market.
I want to buy additional shares in Royal Bank [RY] but I have been watching the price rise steadily since the summer and am severely conflicted. Do I just go ahead and buy now because of the 3 parameters you mention are in force, or do I wait for a hoped-for 5% or more market pullback?
The current payout ratio is 49% for RY and the yield only 3.81% so I would expect a dividend increase because of the rising stock price and falling yield, but with the payout ratio so high [normally in the 45% range I believe for banks] is this even likely?
Many thanks... Paul
