Q: Hi 5iTeam,
Both of the above 2 ETFs are pretty well100% focused on health care with very similar make up (65% US, 35% non-US), why then there is such a big difference in dividend yield, Life pays 7.1% while XHC pays 1.05% in dividend.
Cheers,

Q: I have been investing recently in high quality dividend producing firms but have backed myself in to a bit of a corner in terms of my reliance on banking and insurance company stocks (FITB, BNS, BK, SLF, PRU, FSZ). Would ITUB's Brazilian preferred share provenance be both sufficiently secure and a good diversifier?

Q: I am perplexed by the strength of the markets over the last few months given the situation in the real economy. Are you aware of any site which identifies the source of money inflows and outflows? I would like to understand whether this market is driven by professional/institutional investors (smart money), the government/Fed, or retail investors (dumb money).

Depending on the source of the money inflow, it might give some indication as to the sustainability of this market.

Any thoughts you would have on this question would be most appreciated and valued.

Thank you for this excellent service.

Q: I would like to comment that I think your service is best in class! Question: With Natural Gas near recent all time lows could you suggest 2 or 3 names in this space that could have upside if/when natural gas commodity pricing improves.

Q: I have held on to this looser much too long. When they announced yesterday that Aurora was selling its entire stake at $3.00 /share I gasped expecting that the stock would crater too well below that on the news. Instead it rose nicely the day of the announcement at one point trading as high as $3.84 Can you please explain the reason for this? On a separate note they also reported spectacular Q1 sales growth on Monday yet still reported a loss of $0.16 /share. Will this company ever be able to turn a profit?

Q: I've made some money on MSFT and currently its hit a high water mark, been treading water and today has dropped a bit. What do you think about selling MSFT and using those proceeds to buy DOCU and CRWD. Obviously risk is tremendously greater with those two than MSFT, and both are still losing money but their rev. growth is big, debt is less than cash for DOCU and almost nothing for CRWD sitting on $1 bil in cash. Thinking momentum and growth continue, with price appreciation greater than MSFT, while biting my nails along the way.
Thanks.

Q: This is a follow up to an earlier question. I was in touch with WPT Industrial to clarify their dividend payout etc. Their response shared that their current ROC portion of the dividend is 77.08 percent. This seems very high to me and I'm hoping you can provide some context for this number from your experience. For example, is this a normal amount for income trusts; does this not effectively reduce the value of the dividend since your adjusted cost base will continue to drop. Anything else you can add will be helpful. Thanks, Don
