Q: I am a fan of buying companies that perform the boring, tedious and "un-sexy" jobs. Star would seem to qualify and would also seem to have good cash flow, etc. Despite it's very poor momentum, it seems, otherwise, o.k. What are your thoughts regarding this stock for an income investor?

Q: As a retired income investment, I have enjoyed the steady increase in the value of these funds over the last years as well as a good dividend. In fact they tended to stay steady every time the market dipped. Until lately. Both have seen daily drops unseen before. Has anything changed or is it the general skittish market right now.

Q: I really appreciated your explanation made today on this ETF.
Do gains/losses made holding this ETF comprise capital gains and losses only or do they include interest? You peaked my interest with this as I currently have a lot invested in GICs / money market and am not relishing the tax hit.
Thanks a lot

I would like to increase my ETF holdings providing a broad coverage of the Cdn market vs individual stocks. I already have a heavy weighting in individual financial stocks and most TSX ETFs would simply further skew my overall balance.
