Q: On 20 Sep, you had recommended XRE as an ETF to get some real estate exposure as opposed to some specific stocks about which I had inquired. Approx a week ago a guest on BNN recommended ZRE over XRE so I was wondering why he did. Do you have any idea why he would do so? Thanks and I hope you had a great time in Germany. I did when I was 21 and spent 3 months there gratis of our gov't.

Q: I'm trying to get back into CNR or other railroad companies, but they seem pretty expensive right now. Is there an ETF covering this industry or do I have go to an industrial or transport play? I am also very allergic to the airlines and car industries. Any suggestions?
Q: Welcome back home! Doing some fall cleaning & like the current level of CTRX - down about 18% from it's high of $60. Based on the now implemented ACA (or Obamacare), this looks like an easy choice. Your expertize would be appreciated.
Q: Hi 5i, Sylogist, syz has been very quiet this quarter, after a great year, is this one just to put away and wait for quarterly earnings to come. Any advice on this one. Thanks as always.
Q: Most TSX stocks rose on the back of the political news today, but I noticed that Counsel was one of the minority that had a price drop. Anything in particular going on?
My primary major concern is with EIF's leaks, big drop in share price and then a quick bounce. Anyone having inside information, at one point yesterday, would have at least a 26% one day win off the low while the rest of us took it on the chin and in our pocket books to to speak.
Now today we have what looks like leaks in AET as per another member's question.
When do the powers that be step in and call these companies on the carpet to account for this behaviour?
I am an investor who can deal with volatility BUT NOT when someone else is playing by a different set of rules.
I know somone who emailed EIF but they did not even get the courtesy of a reply.
I would appreciate both your insight and suggestions for handling these kinds of events.
Q: Wilan issued news today " WiLAN and Sierra Wireless Reach Agreement to Settle Litigations
10:10 EDT Thursday, October 10, 2013".
I would have thought a trading halt would have to occur on this news. Are there guidelines on this?
Thanks
