Q: I don't quite understand your answer to Rajeev's question on CSU debentures. Does this debenture exist and what is a rights issue ? The only debenture I can find listed on the TSE is CSU.DB which show a yield of 9.5% not 13.3% . So I imagine I'm looking at the wrong one. Could you give the correct symbol for the debenture in question ? And also explain and assess CSU.DB comparing it with the one Rajeev is interested in ? Which one would you prefer as part of the fixed income section of a portfolio ? Thanks .....

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Based on my previous question last quarter I know you were cautious going forward. So again they report what appears to be a solid quarter. Does this in any way charge your perspective. In other words I would appreciate your current opinion. I am not sure if I should take my profit and be happy or continue to be patient because the odds would be in my favour for another modest run up. Your professional opinion is always helpful with a high degree of accuracy. As a little retail investor I thank you immensely.

Q: USHY iShares Broad USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (not in your data base).

Is this a good time to buy a bond fund like USHY? It seems to do the same thing as HYG , has much lower MER and a higher distribution (above learned after using the comparison tool at ETF.com). Does USHY have a higher risk than HYG? Is this a reasonably good time to buy such a fund?

Q: Arc has been rising steadily for some months now, and has been outperforming many of its peers. It has now grown to my largest holding at over 7% of the portfolio. I would appreciate your view of the reasons for its seeming outperformance. It is in an unregistered portfolio so cutting back would generate substantial capital gains.

Q: Hi 5i

With the recent quarterly release I see that HPS continues to do well.
I'm just curious as to how they compare to their competition in this space?
Are there larger or smaller companies that are doing equally as well and therefore also worth looking at?
Or is this somewhat of a moat business?

Thanks!
