Q: Would you know anything about Dividend 15 split Corp. Offering 5.55 of their shares in exchange for 1 TRP share? My brother who lives in Switzerland was given this offer but I heard nothing about it.
I am just curious - I don't think he will exchange.
Thanks for any info.!

Q: I have a large holding of WFS.PR.A. I have done reasonably well on it, with 5.25% return on capital distribution and a stable price, it was much better than any other fixed income I held.
Here is my dilemma, I have to either redeem it now or hold until 2025. Expecting interest rate to go up, I am not sure it will hold its value. My thinking is to redeem it now and perhaps buy it later at a lower price, or just move to other investment. I know this decision is mine, but I highly value your opinion on what you think my best option would be.

Thanks

Q: Could you provide your thoughts on FAH as a long term investment? What should I know? Eg what are your thoughts on the advisory fees and the voting domination by Fairfax? They seem to think book value per share is a key performance metric, is that the number you would focus on?

Q: Hi .... What's your take on Brookfield special opportunities BSO-UN.TO? Is it turning a corner? I think revenues have doubled in last 12months...nice dividend! Looks like the company has been in a decline for a few years but just recently started changing direction. Is this a troubled business with a turn around story that's just getting started?

Q: You stated earlier, in 2017, that BSO has a low payout ratio. However its most recent financial statement over 2017 stated that its 60 cents dividend was 100 per cent return of capital. Are we getting a high dividend here to be punished with a capital loss? Should we stay away from BSO? Hard to know what is happening with its NAV at the moment.

Q: Hi!
Any thoughts on the drifting performance of this closed end fund? I know the manager is an old associate of Peter's and my perception of the fund is that it would perform better than other similar funds likely in weaker parts of a market cycle?

Q: Can you tell me the difference between investing in The Sprott Energy Fund(SPR006) vs Sprott Energy Opportunities Trust (NRGY.UN).
From what I've read the Trust tries to replicate the Fund. I'm curious if there are pros/cons in going with one over the other.
Thanks!
