Q: What is your opinion on using call options on the VIX Short Term Futures ETN (VXX:US) as a hedge against a market decline? I see the VIX index up over 7% today, but the VXX is down slightly. I have noticed this several times. What is the explanation for this divergence and how should it be interpreted?

Q: Hi guys,

I noticed you posted a report entitled Target price Data but did not see any reference or explanation of what it was for, how it was developed, nor any comments on this board when I did a search.

Can you shed some light on that report please?

Thanks

Q: What are your thoughts on gopro? Does it seem good for growth or a possible take over?
Is there any other tech or energy stocks (since many oil companies are down right now) that would make a good takeover target? Buying companies seem to pay decent premiums when it comes to takeovers and id like to take advantage of it.

Thanks

Q: Thank you for providing a great service. Your recent comments on the Canadian Preferred Share Market and iShares CPD are greatly appreciated.
Please comment on
1) Please comment on iShares US Pfd Stock ETF (PFF) which trades in US$.
2) Is there any merit in holding a portion of a fixed income portfolio. PFF is about 5% of my total portfolio. Considering the recent upswing I have done well with PFF and have enjoyed the distributions within a registered RRSP. Should I consider holding it?

Thanks
