Q: Hi Guys
Is VMO to illiquid to own? . I see it traded mere 100 shares today, reflecting no percentage gain. would not the average weighted gain of all the holdings today be up at least 3%
Total net assets of 63.8 million and only 1.5 million shares outstanding.
Is it correct to say the NAV is calculated by adding up the per share dollar value of each underlying holding ( in this case 871 holdings) then dividing by the 1.5 million shares outstanding. In this case Scotiabank shows a NAV of $43.20 which happens to be equal to the price the 100 shares traded at today for a Zero percentage gain
I thought the NAV would have been much higher considering todays gains in much of the holdings?
Thanks Gord

Q: PXT last reported its earnings the week before. Kindly comment on its results and forward guidance. As well, are there any reason for the weakness in share price lately, especially yesterday which slid down by 5%, right from the opening bell. I'm looking for tax losses for 2022 and PXT seems to have jumped to the forefront at this point. Thanks.

Q: Most of the time we are coming out of the recession before they even announce that we are in one.

I am currently fully invested, but I wonder whether there will be a drop once announced.

Anecdotally, I have seen a complete slow down in retail customers at my place of business. It is the slowest I have seen in over 10 years. My suppliers have also slowed considerably, so it isn't just me.

I understand it is best to stay invested and diversified and the markets will correct over time.

Questions:

So, will the markets drop if they announce that is the case and we are in a recession, or is that priced in already?

If the markets do drop once announced are there any trades / hedges / or opportunities that I should be investigating or doing some research in?

Thanks.
