Q: Hi,
I have the above ETF in my TFSA and have been doing very well for quite some time. I noticed that it is now at a loss of 34% overnight! I noted that there has been talk of a consolidation taken place. Should that have had a negative impact on the ETF? Your feedback and advise if mostly appreciated.

Q: WTG has announced a "modified dutch auction" to buy back $1Billion worth of shares.
Is there anything to be learned from previous companies that did this? The trading activity is going to be skewed for the next few months. I believe the price will trade closer to $98 over the next few weeks.

I owned shares of HCG when they did a similar proposal and I recall regretting not selling to the market just before the offer closed because it traded above the cutoff price.

Thanks Dave

Q: DND has been slowly drifting down for the last two weeks, and was $45.5 at one point today. At what price do you think is worthwhile to throw in, say, 1-2% of your portfolio, assuming you are risk tolerant, and have a long time horizon to hold should the takeover deal goes bad?

With a long term view of 10 + years in a registered account can you recommend 2 bonds and 2 ETFs. Thanks

Q: Can you recommend a resource/book for my young teenager to begin learning about investing. The TV ads seem to focus only on the get-rich-quick trading aspects of making money without mentioning the get-poor-quick consequences of bad trading discipline.

I wanted something they could learn at their level to help evaluate the strength of a company as well as overall macroeconomy and technical analysis.

They may well decide to be traders as they turn into young men but at least having the knowledge of fundamentals, how to understand financial statements and technical would give them a foundation to build upon.
Thanks
