Q: I hold a significant percentage of my portfolio in XEC and am happy to have the exposure to add diversification. It has been a bit of a drag on returns for a while now however, and it has me wondering — what are some plausible scenarios moving forward where emerging will outperform? Have there been significant episodes in the past 100 years or so where emerging was at the top of the index return lists?

Q: I currently hold the above noted preferreds in an unregistered cash account, and they are the worst performers. Would it be advisable to take the losses and move on to something else, or sit tight and continue to get the dividends?

Q: I wish to find a place for some cash. I am not entirely clear on some details for HSAV: the current trading price is around $106,60.

Of course, there are no distributions; What do you calculate the effective yield to currently be?

My trading platform suggests NAV is $106.30, so there is a premium being paid at the current price. What effect will that have on the yield? And what effect when I come to liquidate the holdings?

Last, if you see HSAV a not that good a place to deposit, what other place(s) would be good to hold some cash? BMO HISA is currently offering 4.6%

Many thanks

Q: NVDA has become 10% of my portfolio. Too often, I have sold too early, and too often I have not sold, and lost the gain. What to do! I wonder if it's a good idea to trim and buy some TSM, or AMD, or is there another company I should be looking at? Or, if so many are at the point of entering NVDA, does that mean it just makes sense to hold a little longer and reevaluate regularly?

Q: Hello 5i. Is there a difference between what US producers are receiving and what Canadian producers are receiving for natural gas. I watch BNN and I think on the top right hand side they state a natural gas price but I think this is for US producers not Canadian producers. Which if true, is misleading I think. Where would you recommend that I look for the daily price of natural gas for Canadian gas producers. .
