Q: Hi 5i,
As part of my continuing education could you explain something for me, and also answer a question re ETFs.?
In looking over DOL I notice that in its last 11 quarters it beat expectations 6 times and missed 5 times. Two days after all 6 of those beats the share price fell, sometimes substantially, and two days after all 5 of those misses the share price rose, sometimes substantially. I've also noticed this same dynamic at work with other companies. It seems counter-intuitive to me and I wonder if there's an explanation that's widely applicable for why the share price would move up on a miss and down on a beat. (Maybe it has to do with 2 days after a quarterly report being too short a period to draw any conclusions from, but if that's the case why would the two day movement be recorded and reported in the first place - by CIBC Investor's Edge in this case?)
And second question - could you identify what you think are the best CDN ETFs holding consumer defensive names?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: Hi 5i,
If a Canadian stock trades on a US Exchange, are the dividends paid out in US$? If so are there any withholding taxes.

Q: I've held LWRK (previously MSI) for a couple of years in my cash account and am up some 46% (but down from a high of 65%). The company has been struggling of late - due, I suspect, to its recent rebranding and the general market downturn. If this were in a registered account, I would have kicked it to the curb already. The only thing stopping me is my reluctance to pay capital gains. When do you see LWRK's performance improving and what factors will influence this? Hang onto it...or move on and pay the tax? Your advice appreciated. Thank you.
