Q: I bought a bond from S in 2015 that originally was to mature in 2018, but unfortunately was extended to 2021. In the meantime I have a 56% paper loss. I saw today that S stock price is at $0.18(!). Is there a more than likely chance that Sherritt will go under and if so, is there a way to estimate how much of my principal I can get back? Should I just sell this bond even if it’s in my RRSP? Thanks, Martin

Q: If you were to speculate, can you list 2-3 companies for each that are the most likely to, or that make the most sense to, acquire them?
For GoEasy, would it be an alternative lender like home capital or equitable bank, or one or the big 5-6 banks?
For Shopify, would be another payment company like PayPal or MasterCard, a similar online Company like EBay, or a juggernaut like Amazon or Google who would swallow shopify up?

Thank you

Q: Hello Crew
I am nearly retired and I like a total growth approach (dividends plus capital appreciation). During a down market however I don't wish to sell my capital appreciation funds for living expenses. Therefore, my question is what ETF's can I pair -dividends vs capital appreciation that that might serve that end. Examples ZLB/ZDV, XMI/VIGI/ZWE, VGG/XMU/ZWH..your suggestions are appreciated
regards gary

Q: With most bank results in, just waiting on TD now, and the biggest hits to earnings having been loan-loss provisions and capital markets (in the case of RY) can you see if short interest has again spiked on the backs of these earnings, or has it remained relatively flat since the famous 'big short' trader publicly shorted them in the early part of this year?

Q: Hello, Air Canada has been very strong for quite some time. AC's PE now sits at around 13X wheras US carriers are sitting ~7-8X PE. With the risk of oil prices spiking likely sitting at all time lows, the previous "highly cyclical sector" knock on the airline business, seems less of a problem. What are your thoughts on taking a position in an airline at this time? If you were to take a position, which would be your preference in order - and why?
