Q: Hello,
Please comment on my logic based on relative beta's :

If I sell my holdings of XTR and buy equal amount of ZRE, in theory, is there more of a chance that in a market recovery, the overall return for ZRE will be higher simply because it fell more and can therefore rise more?

Or is that too simplistic considering there are so many moving parts?

Many thanks!

Q: Having read their financials, I am trying to understand to what extent they have hedged their revenues. If I am reading this correctly, I not seeing many call options on oil beyond the first two quarters. Any concerns over their ability to weather the storm, debt wise? Long term debt isn't due for a few years. Covenants could be problematic? Cuz the stock looks very cheap.

Cheers Leo

Q: I own some CU. Knowing this, would ACO.X being more diversified, be good value at this price to hold as well as CU? Any thoughts on ACO management? They seem to have held up well in past "strained" markets and the dividend is nearing 5%. Good for a dividend investor?

Q: I own shares in Husky Energy. Today price dropped to $2 per share and Saudi Arabia will be increasing oil production. I expect the price will continue to drop for awhile. At what price would the stock be delisted from the TSX? If it is delisted at some point and the company continues to operate (without going bankrupt), are the shareholders entitled to anything? Thank you for your assistance with this.

Q: If things get real ugly, do we need to worry about cash being held within RRSP with an investment dealer? What type of insurance is typically on these funds? Is it better to have cash with a bank?
