Q: I own ZUH and XHC and am thinking of selling them to buy HHL for the big dividend that HHL pays (8.61%) . Is this a good idea? Or am I trading growth potential for dividends and could I actually be making a mistake?

Q: I have a small profit on KEY but I've been disappointed in the lack of growth recently and I was wondering if I could do better with PPL. Yields are about the same but I would prefer more growth. I already have lots of ENB and TRP in a well diversified portfolio. Appreciate your thoughts.

Q: Don’s question of October 7 asked about Canadian vs. US dollars and whether to buy a stock on the TSX or NASDAQ. While many investors are confused on this point, Don should understand that once he buys the stock (on either the TSX or any US exchange) the future performances of the Canadian and US dollars have no effect on the actual value of his gains or losses. In other words (and for doubters), if you were to decide to split your purchase and buy half the shares in Cdn on the TSX and half in USD on a US exchange, each half of your shareholding will worth exactly the same thing regardless of any future movements in the value of the respective currencies.)

Q: Voluntary lock-ups - Why would early stage investors or VCs, voluntarily extend lock-ups periods in pre-ipo or early ipo-ed companies?

Would they typically receive warrants in exchange for this restriction in liquidity?

Is the motivation by the company to prevent sales of large blocks since they are anticipating a rapid rise or fall in share price?

I know this is hypothetical, but trying to understand the concept/reasoning.

Thanks!
