Q: What do you think of this co. now?

Q: What is your opinion on IDRV ETF?

Q: It was pointed out to me that when a certain ETF has USD and CAD versions, the USD version tends to have the higher yield. Why is that? As of May 1, 2020, for example, this is true for ZST/ZUS.U, ZTL/ZTL.U, ZDY/ZDY.U, ZIC/ZIC.U, ZWH/ZWH.U

The BMO website claims that the liquidity of an ETF has more to do with the liquidity of its underlying holdings, rather than the the ETF itself. Do you agree? Case in point - ZDY.U is fairly thinly traded, with a relatively small number of shares outstanding. There are many days in which no shares of ZDY.U are traded at all. Yet, whenever I purchase shares of ZDY.U using a market order (against 5i's advice), I get a price very close to the bid/ask price, and the bid-ask spread appears quite narrow. Thank you.

Q: Datametrex has been halted since prior to today's opening. What would cause a stock to be halted for more than six hours?

Q: Fiera Capital wishes to get shareholder approval of the transfer of the transferred assets to New Fiera Canada in exchange for debt and/or equity securities of New Fiera Canada.

Q: Not really a question. In reference to clients question on ATE results. You failed to mention that the trials have to do not only with pain but ulcers and bleeding that may be caused when taking various forms of pain medication. I know this first hand. Very important part of results. I’m looking forward to it not only as a investor but someone whom it would benefit.

Q: Hi, Could you please provide Earning estimates for Parkland. Thanks

Q: There has been a lot of talk lately, especially in the US of going to negative rates. If this was ever to happen, how would this ETF do in that kind of climate. I have a hard time understanding the idea of negative rates and what would be the end result.
