Q: A question by Daniel the other day about this etf caught my eye; your answer was quite positive, referring to its good results. Can you pls give information about its prospects to provide downside protection in the event of an adverse market event. How does their hedging work? How much protection would there be with different event eg a 10% pullback compared to a 20%. I looked at the website and couldn't glean any ideas about that. If one was to look at this like gold, ie a form of insurance, what portfolio weight would you think an average investor might have? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Looking at the concern over rising interest rates I took EIF as an example of the effect,
EIF has a dividend of approximately 5%, the equivalent interest rate would be in vicinity of 6%.
So if my calculations are right interest rates have a long way to go to have a material effect,
In this case also we have some growth and the possibility of acquisitions.
So should I be concerned about the effect of rising interest rates on EIF?

Q: Hi Guys
knowing that its the price you pay for a stock, that in the end determines how much money you make. Just curious why you wouldn't have picked up this stock in January of 2017 when it was trading at around $9.00 dollars, with a P/S of around 1.8x and a P/E of around 27x
Looking at it trading today at $55 with a forward P/E around 190x it seems it will take along time to grow into its price, and if it doesn't the risk on the downside could be a disaster. I know in 2000 there were a lot of stocks that never did grow into their pricing.
Thanks ! Gord
