Q: Very curious as too why you seem to support HDIV. Looking at the sell-off window between Jul 31 and Aug 7 this year, HDIV declined approx 40% more than the avg decline of the TSX, S&P500 and DOW. I fully understand at/out of money risk, but it seem leverage, which HDIV uses, is not great in market downturns. I know the window for this analysis is narrow, however it seems to show the risk of leveraged funds.

Q: TD Web Broker shows Nutrien as trading below book value. The technical chart doesn't look very encouraging, but I see a couple of insiders have bought recently.

With a little investigation there seem to be a couple of hundred Canadian stocks trading at or below book value. Most of them don't look to be neatly as big or as strong financially as Nutrien. Do you see any gems I might have overlooked?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I believe they just had a good quarter and one analyst has raised the target price from $11.00 to $12.00. Today it hit a new high of $10.20 on high volume. I do worry about their debt. I also realize that TD Webbroker always seems to over estimate target prices. I have been very patient with this stock and am up. So I am wondering what the odds are that it will go much higher or should I just sell and be happy and eliminate risk. Your thoughts please! Thank you in advance for your opinion which is always helpful in my decisions.
