Q: I am wondering about Bond ETFs and why they are dropping when interest rates are at historic lows. Does this have to do with liquidity issues of the etf's, with people trying to sell them so fast that the managers of the ETF cannot sell the underlying assets quick enough? Does that mean that the underlying assets of the ETF are actually much higher than the price to buy the ETFs themselves? As an example I am considering the 9% drop of ZAG that occurred today.

Q: I Have held these bond etfs for a long time and they are down considerably. (-16 & -30% -9.00 % -5.16%)and still counting

My question is :
Do I have any reasonable reasonable expectation of ever recovering the capital if I hold them ?
Or I am reasonably safe in selling them and putting what is left in a better place ?

Q: Regarding this company's net income vs. dividend payout, it doesn't seem to support it. From its free cash flow perspective, its also short of the dividend payout amount. Please comment.
Secondly, is there another healthcare REIT similar to this one with a good dividend that we can compare. Thank you.

Q: I bought half positions in CNQ and SU and I have buy orders in at lower prices which I never thought I would see ($8 for CNQ). At current prices, CNQ is yielding over 15%. Even though their dividend was well covered, does it matter how low their share price goes or is it more a function of how long the coronavirus and price war going on for that you force them to cut their dividend? Would they cancel share buybacks before cutting their dividend even though share prices are so low?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: This company, like many other hotel companies, has been clobbered the last couple of weeks. Seems to be overdone in my opinion. HOT runs hotels in the smaller US markets (non-conference hotels) and they will not be hit as hard as the larger chains operating in the New York and LA markets. Any thoughts on the prospects and valuation after the drubbing?
