Q: Hi. I own this ETF and like it at this stage because it is hedged. Even though our dollar is still going down, I figure that we should be close to the end of the spectrum. What do think of this product? Would you have another product - ETF or mutual fund - to suggest for exposure to the US with the hedge component. As a rule, do US mutual funds managers use hedging? Thanks for the good service.

Q: My understanding is that the courts recently ruled in favour of ENL against Allergan and upheld ENL's patents. I have equity in both companies. What I don't understand is why ENL is down more than 12.5% today and Allergan down only 2.5%. Is ENL a stock worth considering buying more of?

Q: Can you explain why some etfs like USMV were down significantly more than the market this morning? Do etfs get halted like stocks when they drop significantly. I bought a small amount at 29.6 this morning, but was too chicken to buy a lot because I couldn't understand what was happening.

Q: CODI has been described as a mini-Berkshire Hathaway buying smaller companies, recently selling Camelbak and adding Manitoba Harvest to their portfolio. Being an old fart a hemp based food business strikes me as somewhat fad oriented but a lot of people have made a lot of money off of fads. Trading at a low P/E and a having a yield around 8.7%, what are your thoughts on this company ?

Q: Just off the conference call and I have to say, this one is a real head scratcher. Everyone begins by congratulating the team on a great quarter and the stock does a serious nose-dive. I couldn't see anything but positives in either the numbers or the answers. Am I missing something? Or is this just sell the news. Thank-you.

Q: RCPT (RECEPTOS) has an offer to purchase from Celgene (via Strix .. a subsidiary of Celgene).
RCPT is trading at $231.46 and the offer from Celgene is for $232.00 net to the holder in cash without interest (the offer price) and subject to any withholding taxes required by applicable law.
1 .. Is the offer a good one as some think it's very low?
2 .. How do I find out about the withholding taxes (as I understand sometimes there's a dividend that can take a big bite from profits)?
3 .. Would I do better just to hold the RCPT stock and sell it myself?

Q: Hello Team,
the stock has been in significant downfall, from $19 to$5, yet the financial statements appear acceptable. P/E ratio now stands at 5. I have a position in the stock and wonder whether manipulative action influences the trend(short sellers). Seeking Alpha had a scathing report on the company. What is your opinion? Hold or sell?
Your input is valuable!
