Q: I hold a position in General Motors (GMM.U) that trades on the TSX in US funds. Several questions:
- is it possible for a company to trade in US funds on the TSX?
- would the dividends declared by GMM.U be deemed "eligible" dividends for Canadian tax purposes?
- What are your thoughts on GMM.U? Definitely tumultuous times given the recalls etc..

Thanks!

Q: 5i Team, I owned Paladin, held my shares, and now own ENDO INTERNATIONAL PLC. Two part question: 1. There seems to be two symbols: ENL.TO and ENDP. I understand that one trades on TSX and one trades in US, but I can't resolve the difference in price and volume. Right now the TSX listing trades at roughly $78 and the US listed roughly $70. Shouldn't TSK be lower, not higher. Also, very dramatic volume differences. I took no action with Paladin shares, so would I now by default own the TSX listed shares? 2. Is the long term outlook for ENDO good enough for me to continue holding them. I have no other health care stocks. I am tempted to sell, but only because I feel a bit lost at sea, now that you no longer cover the new company. If the outlook is decent, I will probably continue to hold.
Thanks
Ditto to all the wonderful comments you get on your service.

Q: Hi Peter:
there were some M & A frenzy in the health stocks in the US
are there any EFTs that one can buy to participate in this trend ?
My 2nd question is that when M & A activities are increasing, it pushes the P/E ratio of the sector very high, would one see it as the beginning of the end of the bull market?
would one also anticipate some M & A in the Canadian energy sector?
I look forward to your comments, it would be educational to alot of investors like me, I learned alot from being a member for over a year,
Many thanks!
