Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

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!

Q: Hello,

Since the world has returned to "normal," fitness equipment maker Nautilus has fallen off a cliff. I'm wondering if this company is worth buying at ~$1.00, considering the possibility that when aliens start co-habitating with humans, there may be an increased demand for at-home gyms again from a segment of the population that could be alien-phobic. It would be a small stake (~2% of my TFSA), but I'd be risk-averse if the company is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Thanks,
Human

Q: Sorry if this has been asked before, but how do analysts come up with earnings estimates? Seems quite arbitrary if companies that have intimate knowledge of their own operations already provide forecasts.
