Q: Hello,
I am trying to understand how Horizons S&P 500 Index ETF tracks the index. At the moment I'm typing this message, the S&P 500 sits at 0% daily change, SPY at -0.03% while HXS is at -1.09% and HXS-U is at -1.08%. Why do we see such significant deviation from the index in $3.5B ETF with very high trading volume and close spread between bid and ask? Thanks.

Q: Hi!
With Bank of Canada raising 1 percent, I was surprised to see utilities perform well. I understand the sell off in banks would be due to loan losses. Would higher interest rates not be bad for the utilities or is it that these are seen as safety and therefore rising? Do you see utilities like Fortis and Emera as expensive now and would you support lightening up on banks to buy these due to higher risk with banks during potential recession?

Q: Hi 5i,
I have been following Sierra Wireless since mid May when it reported results that significantly beat expectations. It has moved steadily higher and today on above average volumes, it was up 6.45% on a down day in the market and hit a 1 year high and closed slightly below this high. I am wondering if SW will be a big beneficiary of the Federal Governments initiatives for a new telecom framework for resiliency through mutual assistance and emergency roaming? Would appreciate your thoughts on this perspective and what other companies could be beneficiaries?
Thank you

Q: I have a question regarding the distributions for XIU, XIC and XAW. According to Morningstar these ETFs are close to 100% equities, yet it looks like interest income can make up a sizable component of the yearly distribution. I would have thought most of the distributions would be from dividends. Any information regarding this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
