Q: Hello, can you tell me how close the NEO listed CDRs are tracking the US listed companies? Also, is there a no fee site where I can compare the performance of the CDRs against their US equivalents? I don’t see tHis functionality on 5i and it would be nice to have. Thanks.

Q: I haven't been following the market too much for several months and was shocked to see that AQN has fallen dramatically (from about $10 to $8 in one month). I don't see much news or questions on AQN. Any insight into why there has been such a dramatic drop?

Q: I'd appreciate an update on your analysis of DBM; previously the high debt load has been ID'd as a concern. If one subscribes to the view that the next year or so will still be weighted down by inflation and interest rate challenges is this a stock to buy now (if at all) or put on the watch list for an upturn?

Q: Could you please provide a brief analysis comparing the TSX and S&P valuations now to previous periods when interest rates were at a similar level. I suspect it isn’t as easy as a direct comparison since the weight and make-up of the sectors along with any number of other variables will have changed, but looking for an opinion or best guess based on history as to whether valuations have much further to fall if the assumption is for 5”ish” percent interest rates for a longer period. Thank you.

Q: MY ERROR ! I asked the question ... "I have recently come across some US covered call ETF's offering +10% returns on ES Bonds. Sorry, don't have the ticker. They are on streaming platforms and flash by before I can write then down. Can you comment on the danger of such an investment, the stability of the dividend as interest rates are certain to shift. Thanks ! " BUT, I meant to type US (not ES). SORRY. Please deduct a few additional questions due to my typo.

Q: Thanks very much for your quick response .... just a comment - while the dividends are back dated when posted, the funds are not available to the Investor until actually posted. Thus the Investor does lose either through loss of interest, or not making further investments when they might have. Most brokerages pay nothing on cash balances.
