Q: There was a question about why Leon dropped (although I see it was up by the end of the day). But it could have been the shock of reading about the tariffs being imposed as per the CBC story today:

Q: Hi,
I own DND and not so pleased with the idea of this company is considering going private. It went public not even a year ago. The sudden change of "heart" has me thinking if they are constrained in someway in being public vs a private company.
In any event, the $50.50 acquisition price proposal is low, in my opinion. A financing at that price was done no so long ago.
I am hoping this company stays public as its a great company and growing very fast.
I have decided to hold onto my shares.
In light of my view, could you please share your thoughts?
Thanks,

Q: I currently own Eric's Mutual Fund (NPP314) and am considering switching to his ETF (NNRG). Just to understand the tracking differences, I monitored the daily movements on 3 days...May 26-28-31 (small sample, I know).
May 26 => NNRG = 0.91% vs NPP314 = 1.68%
May 28 => 1.70% vs 1.90%
May 31 => 4.93% vs 3.71%
Total all 3 days => 7.54% vs 7.29%

Can you please provide your understanding of the daily differences?
Also, is the May 31 difference, due to month-end adjustments?
The totals seems to make sense, due to the different MERs...agree?

Do you still agree it makes sense to move to NNRG (I can't find much information on the ETF in their website (or through RBC), except it is in their drop down box for options to buy, on the Ninepoint website. To me this implies that the holdings are identical)? There is only $1.1 Million in NNRG...is this an issue to be concerned about?

Thanks for your help...Steve
