Q: Hi, Just to clarify further about the debentures - If Constellation decides to redeem the debentures, Only the Warrant holders will have the ability to buy the new debentures and in the ratio of 1 warrant providing a right to by 1 debenture. So, the Debenture holders ( with redemption called ), can only swap/buy the new debentures with No Redemption clause, would need to either already have or buy the warrants in the market. If not, they will be exposed to a capital loss of, say. $37, for each debenture.

In our situation, we have currently 500 CSU.DB debentures and only 250 warrants. So, in a Redemption call scenario, we should be prepared to Buy 250 additional warrants in the market, if we want to swap/buy to retain the same no. of 500 debentures ownership. Is this correct ? And, for this reason, there could be a huge demand for these warrants, when called for redemption, because, a large no. of debenture holders, may not necessarily already have those warrants.

Will the New Debentures be listed as a separate security, in addition to the existing debentures CSU.DB ?

Thank You

Q: There was a question yesterday by Dave about buying US currency.
One option to avoid the fees that banks charge for the exchange is to buy Horizons DLR.CA and then journal it over to your US account (DLR.U.CA).
You still pay the exchange rate and maybe trading fees (depending on your brokerage) but you save the bank fee.

Q: Now that I discovered that RBC has opened its direct investing accounts to high interest saving ETFs, I am interested in moving the cash portion of my portfolio. HSAV is interesting because of the capital gains tax advantage. However I noticed that it has been fairly volatile in the last few weeks - swinging by almost 1% in a single day. That is more volatility than I would’ve expected from an investment that primarily holds bank savings accounts that reprice daily. Is there something else going on here?
