Q: HI Team,
I was wanting your updated take on TTD. I have held it for a long time in my tfsa and am up nicely on it. Currently it's touched near it's 2021 high. Is it still among your favorite growth companies and worthy of continuing holding in a tfsa for the next 5 years? Do you see big growth from the company continuing going forward? IF not; please suggest a couple names in which you would confidently see as outperforming TTD over the next few years in which I would replace it with.

Thanks,
Shane.

Q: I'm considering buying HDIV ETF. On the ETF website it shows a 2023 total distribution of $1.974 and a ROC (return of capitol) of $ 1.66201 . After watching a video of ROC sometimes the ROC is not a reduction of NAV but just for tax purposes. And in some instances it is actually a return of your own capital and your NAV is reduced. Can you give some clarity on ROC. And how to determine if an ETF in my investment account has dropped in value from return of my own capital or loss of the underlying securities of ETF? My personal situation all my investment accounts are RRSP and TSFSA.

Thanks, Brian.

Q: Hello,

Topicus, lately is showing solid momentum, with stock hitting an all time high, Today. On the other hand, Lumine has lagged behind, specially after the recent results. Do you believe that this divergence in stocks behaviour is temporary or it is signalling any longer term concerns for the latter ?

Also, based on their current valuation, does it make one more attractive than the other . in the near term and what would be the price points to accumulate ?

Thank You

Q: I know I'm being lazy. However, can you help me to understand, when share prices are not too different ($17.80 vs $17.05), why would someone purchase the "E" series rather than the "F" series.
It seems to occur with a number of companies, a wide disparity on the dividend yields paid within their PR's sphere of series. Just interest rates at the time of origin or re-set dates?

Q: My question on the (former?) ETF XOUT. I held it not too long ago, but sold it. I've made the decision to re-invest in this ETF for the long term, but see that it seems to no longer exists. Do you know what happened to it?

It invested in the US large cap index subtracting any companies that would not do well in a future of disruption. If it no longer exists, is there any type of ETF like this available out there?
