Q: Hi Team,

I was looking at the GSY price movements for last 20 years and during dot-com and 2008 recession as well as 2011 correction the stock dropped down by almost 40-50%. It seems because of its small size and consumer credit business the stock gets hit hard during market downturns./recessions. The stock jumped from 17 to 53 in last 2 years and has dropped by 1/3 in last 2 months. Would like to get your thoughts..

Thanks
Ninad

Q: This is a follow up question to your answer to John. When I look at the VCN prospectus as (of Oct. 31st) it seems to follow the benchmark pretty much exactly rather than make the adjustments as per your reply there. Am I missing something? Thanks

Q: I own IPL and am down around 7.5%. I am considering selling IPL for the tax loss and buying ENB. I am thinking that ENB has at least as much capital appreciation possibility as IPL. The ENB dividend is a little smaller than IPL but it is still healthy. What are your thoughts?

Q: Please help me understand ETF's. If I owned an ETF which holds, say, technology stocks and I wanted to sell it because AAPL is doing poorly presumably I sell it in the market; which means that someone else buys it. That should not affect AAPL or MSFT, ABDE, etc. Does the ETF need to sell those securities?

Q: I would like to top up these positions and trim them back in the future (12-24months?)

Are there any names on the list I should avoid or expect a longer recovery for?

Always appreciate your wisdom.

Q: I think that 3 more increases in interest rates are expected by end of 2019. You commented recently that one of these banks stock dropped due to bad loans. Is the info on bad loans available in the QLY rpts or elsewhere? I understood that the banks generally do well in rising interest rates but will this be offset by fewer mortgages?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i
I thought I understood the DRIP or cash distribution concept but I've just received a cash distribution equaling 25% of the expected amount. On Oct 10th, Crius announced 4th Qtr distribution amounts of 0.0697. Then on the 24th announce the initiation of the DRIP.
As I am not eligible for the DRIP (currently resident outside of Canada), I expected 0.0697 per unit but have received 0.017425 (25%). This is a surprise to me - I'll need to discuss this with the broker but just wanted to clarify that there wasn't a cut or some other reason triggering additional foreign withholding tax (or ???)
Is this cash distribution amount an issue with my expectation ? Is this something you could clarify for me ?

Thanks
Mike
