What do you know about this Motley Fool 100 Index ETF? Trades under TMFC, is currently around $22. Looks like Motley Fools best 100 ideas, any thoughts on this one?
Thanks

Q: Could you please provide a good source where one can obtain historical financial data on NA securities (minimum 10 yrs). Free sources preferable to paid, however willing to consider paid if better, quicker, easier to use. Thx

Q: I have these excellent performing stocks in my portfolio and wish to add to one of them. Percentages are as follows:
BAM.A - 3.8%
BYD.UN - 4.96%
WSP - 4.35%
Which one would you add to for growth and reliability over say 2- 5yrs, if you ignore the lower BAM % and then if you consider it has been brought up to the level of the other two?

Q: Mosaic has reported improved revenue, EBITDA, FCF and Payout Ratio vs Y2018, and the share price has responded positively. Looking past EBITDA, however, I see that income has not just declined but reversed; what is it about the former metrics that leads the market to ignore the latter? Is the idea, here, that income will go up and down as the company makes investments , but as long as the company is growing then per-year income doesn't matter so much?

Q: I like to look at debt to EBITDA as a key indicator of financial risk in a stock. Can you provide information on a good source for this ratio for Canadian and US stocks?

Thanks,

Q: All things being equal, would you consider purchasing AW.UN shares below the secondary offering price an attractive proposition?

What metrics would you use to value AW.UN's share price (and would you mind posting those valuations).

Lastly, the institutions that are facilitating this secondary offering, will they be selling these AW.UN shares to their clients?

Thanks again.

John

Q: I've owned a 1000 SHS since last Jan. and I am down 42% or so: missed last Q badly, increased dividend nicely, low pay-out ratio. Hold in my non-registered account - fairly small holding vs total portfolio. I was thinking of adding another 1000 SHS. In hind sight I should have sold in Dec. 2018 to record a tax loss and bought back later. I'd like to see less debt.; but, realize very capital intensive industry - ROE 18% ROI not that impressive though. Good idea for long-term arisen to add now?
