Q: I had typed out a question a couple of days ago and then received an error message upon submission so I am sending it again- apologies if you receive it twice.

I have recently seen a news release from this company that indicates that the NAV is $32.92. While I recognize that as a closed end fund shares can trade at a premium or discount to the underlying value, the discount here at a share price of $23.00 imparts a "mis-pricing" of almost $210 million dollars given the approximately 21 million outstanding shares. The fund managers must be pulling their hair out. According to their website the fund has been around awhile and has a decent track record. Given your industry experience I was wondering if you could comment on this investment vehicle.

Thanks!

Q: I understand you are not fans of Canoe, but in the Globe & Mail Gordon Pape recently put forward a persuasive case for income investors since the unit value has been trading
between $11 and $13 for the last several years. With the current price at the low end of the range, the yield is very attractive and the monthly payment of 10 cents/unit has remained stable since 2009. Any second thoughts?

Q: Hi 5i: Am considering SCHD .. Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (symbol not in your database) for a medium to long term hold in my non-registered account. It tracks the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 index. Seems to have a good track record and 5 star rating from Morningstar with a low mer of 0.07%. What is your opinion of this ETF ? Would you prefer VUN or VGG ? Any other suggestions appreciated.
Thanks as always for your great advice !

Q: Hi there: What is the different between these 2 stocks? They have an attractive yield of around 6% , with a P/E <10, P/B < 1, and P/S < 1. Would that make this a bargain then, or is there something I overlook. Thank you.
