Q: Yesterday, you mentioned that index funds must sell their shares. The stock yesterday started at $66 and now it is below $58. From the 39.4M shares outstanding, 3.5M have been traded so far in 2 days.
Is there a magic volume number to which we can say the the funds have finished selling?
Was this expected to drop after opening because of the reason which I have stated?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Can you explain what's going on with STC these past few days. My online brokerage site shows the price fluctuating but also shows the trading halt still in place and no volume. Is all this unusual?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Hi gang,

I realize that Topicus shares issued to CSU holders are treated as a dividend, but I'm having a hard time finding a book value of these shares, ie dividend value.

Do you know what we should use for this book value?

Thx

Q: My question has to do with personal estate taxes or the tax grab by the us tax authorities on a individuals estate holding personal US property (US stocks). Can one avoid this problem by just simply holding Canadian ETF's (trading only in Canada) that hold US equities. For example BMO ZQQ, or Vanguard VSP. Any guidance or help from 5i or it's members would be much appreciated.

Q: Dear 5i,

I am considering purchasing either PGF860 or PGF260 for my RIF and TFSA accounts.
Morningstar describes both as Global Small/Mid/Cap equity mutual funds but, PGF860 appears to have much fewer holdings. May I please have your thoughts on these two funds and whether they might be good considerations for my two different accounts. Might one be better suited for each account?
Thanks for the terrific service!
