Q: With an 11 dollar option price and closing of the deal expected in Q1, it seems like there is an opportunity in DWACW at 28 when DWAC has been consistently mid-80's and higher. Am I missing something?

Q: In my RRIF account I hold NTR which has broke two of my sell/trim thresholds. It has grown by 100% and is now over 7% holding in this account, so I may trim back to a 5% holding. My short list to replace with a higher dividend income in mind are ACO.X, EIF, NWC, and PKI. Could I please get your ranking and if any should be removed from short list.

Q: Yesterday (Tuesday) I placed a bid to purchase KRBN at $41 that was filled at 3:47PM. Looking at the daily trading chart on any site shows that a big block trade went through right around then, but for the entire last 30 minutes of trading the price never seemed to stray outside of $42.25-$42.85. My order was for several even lots. I would just like to try and understand the trading that goes on behind what appears to be visible such that my buy could fill at a price of $41?

In addition, I am struggling with how to categorize this holding within my investment portfolio. As a “non-tangible” commodity would you consider it within the energy sector? Materials? US or International? Your thoughts?
