Q: One third of my non sheltered account consists of shares in ATD.B, CCL.B, CSU, and SJ. In the last month the TSX is up about 3+%. In the same period these stocks are all down (13%, 5%, 6% and 8%). The only common thread I can see is that I own them. Do you have any insights that explains the not inconsiderable under performance of the share prices of these stocks in the last month?

Q: Hello,
I currently work for a company that has a share ownership program where my contributions are non-tax sheltered, while the matching contribution from my employer is tax sheltered. Starting Jan.1st they are now offering an option to have my personal bi-weekly contribution go into a TFSA instead of the non-tax sheltered option. Seems like a good option to me but I'd like to get your thoughts/comments before I make a decision. Thanks!

Q: Why do you only show CTC.A (non-voting). Is there a reason one shouldn't buy CTC (voting) other than that CTC.A has a better yield? I assume you don't believe owning non-voting is a big deal.

Q: As a follow up to my previous question regarding the drop in the price of Stella jones shares I too did not see anything in the company specific news that would affect the price of the shares. But when you see the shares dropping as they have there may be other underlying reasons for other investors to sell their shares. Under a Trump led government in the USA is there anything in the policies, attitude toward free trade etc that you can see as potential negatives for the company?
