Q: Given that these two ETFs have almost exactly the same holdings and similar MERs why does XRE have a 5.3% distribution yield and VRE have a 2.45% distribution yield?
Q: I sensed that when I looked at the DH results, it was kind of soft (as confirmed by you in the earlier answer). Also, the dumping leading to the day of the release is a strong sign the market will react negatively. All have since come true.
Of course. based on the opening actions, I also sensed that the "shorts" could be at work to milk their last cent out of this stock. Hence the big dive and the big volumes at the opening bell.
Based on your experience watching market actions, am I right about this? Or I'm just a paranoid small retail investor grasping for answers?
If I'm right hopeful that would get rid of the volatility grapping this stock for the last while (with the departure of the shorts) and normal trading would resume.
Q: Hi Peter & team, I see that PG is down today even if the company beats Q3 earnings. Is PG still one of your favorite for US consumer staples exposure? The stock is down today by almost 3%, could you explain?
Q: The company has just issued more shares in a bought deal. I am trying to understand if this is beneficial/detrimental to shareholders and the company. In my mind, on the negative side, there is dilution, the stock is to reduce debt (despite the fact that debt should be cheap these days) and not for acquistion, and it brings to market more shares when the shares of this company haven't done much for quite a while anyway.
On the plus side, it brings attention to the company since the underwriters will now be beating the bushes to sell the stock and less debt should increase company flexibility should a deal come down the road.
I know you like companies that don't tend to issue stock. Should this deal be viewed as negative? Also, I assume the difference between the share price to the underwriters and current market price is the dealers profit. Typically, how long will dealers hold onto shares to ensure they don't flood the market and lower the share price vs. sell the new shares in an orderly fashion to maximize their profits.
Q: Hi Peter,Ryan et al. My daughter age 32 has $32K to invest in her TFSA. My initial thought was a half position in CAO and KXS along with full positions in BNS. ATD.B CTC.A,PBH,
and HCG. Any suggestions and comments would be appreciated for at least a 3 year time frame.
Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello Peter,
Any idea why Tourmaline oil's stock price hardly moves or moves lower whereas Birchcliff Energy and Paramount resources continues to climb higher given that paramounts' balance sheet is not as good as Tourmaline's. Thanks
Q: Can you give me an idea which one of these 3 stocks you would prefer for an entry in the renewable energy area. RNW has a higher dividend but BLX seems to have a more consistent return. Your view would be appreciated. Tnx
Q: Hi 5i - I have a small position in ATD.B - is now a good idea to bump it up to a full 5% position (i.e. is the current price to good to pass up) or should I average in over the next 3-6 months? Thanks, Neil
