Q: Can you please help me understand HISA ETFs - for instance, I see HSAV dipped down to $108.75 on Oct 30, then bounced back up. In an ETF where there are no distributions, what would explain the dips? In theory, shouldn’t it continuously increase in price?

Q: I own shares of CJT and am down quite a bit. Can you comment on their earnings? Do you think this is a good candidate for tax loss selling with a buyback after 30 days or is it better to move on to something else? Most analysts seem to look favourably on it with target prices well above the current price.

Q: I have held KRBN in a registered account since early 2022. At the end of last year they paid out a huge dividend representing about 20%. I recall being very surprised at the time and couldn’t really find a lot of info or a clear explanation. Could you shed some light on why the fund paid out such a large dividend last year and is this a regular occurrence that can be expected again at the end of this year?

Q: Price movements in the US after-hours market have had me puzzled for months. I have noticed *unexplained* spikes in share prices in after-hours trading. As a simple test , I set up price alerts on a dozen Nasdaq-listed companies and asked Schwab’s platform to alert me if the prices fell by significant percentages— amounts that were , say, 20% below closing prices, and that price drop was not attributable to earnings releases or other news .
To my surprise, the platform sent me far more alerts than I expected. All alerts were after hours.

Here is an example on trading in NVDA after 5 PM November 8, 2023. NVDA traded almost 35 million shares during the day within the price range: US$459.68 – US$468.67 (a tight range of 0.21% , from high to low).

At 5:17 PM I received an alert that NVDA had fallen below US$393. I checked on nasdaq.com for the after-hours trading. The low price shows is shown at 5:35 PM as US$228.29, after which shares went back to US$461, apparently soon after.

The above is not necessarily an isolated case, going by my alerts being triggered. Notwithstanding that my test is simplistic , I ask if you have any knowledge of how, and why this happens.
