Q: Here is an excerpt from my Disnat statement with entries and exits of $$.
02/24/2023 01/05/2023 DIVIDEND IN ISHARES SHARES NASDQ 100 IDX ETF -78.43
02/24/2023 01/05/2023 DIVIDEND COMPANY TRUST 200 ISHARES NASDQ 100 IDX ETF 78.43
I don't know where the money is going.
I would like to understand why these amounts were credited and then debited from my account. I asked the question to Disnat.
The answer was:
These are distributions from exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
My questions:
Is there any follow up to do from my part? Does that change my average cost?
Thank you

Q: Piggybacking off this question from Domenic on March 09:
Q: I am interested in establishing a 2% position in the Consumer Defensive space, and I am debating between Loblaws and Premium Brands. This position is meant to be held for an extended time period of several years. Which company would be better positioned to provide me a substantial return, and if asked to choose, towards which one might you lean? If there is another opportunity in this space that you feel would better fit the aims I have described, I would be happy to read your thoughts. Thanks so much, and I look forward to reading your feedback.
Wondering what your answer would be if MRU was thrown in the mix.

Q: If you held Canadian banks today, would you sell, just continue to hold, or top up positions?
Q: It appears that Transcontinental published pretty bad numbers for its Q1FY2023 and the market has reacted quite negatively and the drop has been brutal. In your opinion, how bad are these results? In their press release for the quarter they mentioned the printing segment drop considerably. Do you see other problems showing up? They also mentioned they are continuing paying the dividend but in your educated opinion, given these results, is it realistic for them to keep doing so or is it more an eventuality they will cutting it, akin to what happened with AQN. Is it a SELL or HOLD? -- My guess is, it's not a BUY.

Q: Our allocation to cash at present represents $750,000 and is unlikely to change in the near- to mid-term.
Can you provide direction on placements/investments for this position? Though we understand the inflation piece, optimally we are seeking high(er) returns, with minimal (or no) exposure to market risk (capital preservation). Also are there any instruments paying out distributions in dividends versus interest income. Any advice around the specific (and general) placement of these monies appreciated.

Q: Good morning, comments please on the deal between the government of Panama and First Quantum. I expected the share prices of FM and FNV to have a decent pop when the standoff was resolved but that didn't happen. Is the deal not as favourable as was expected? Will this deal affect the future royalty stream for FNV (did FNV have to provide any concession to assist in getting the agreement)?
Q: I have a follow up question on my earlier question about UTWO. You said in your answer that it is providing a current yield of 4.9%, but when I call up a quote it says the yield is 3.94%. Is this because the quote is showing the 12-month yield rather than the current yield?
Q: Thoughts on the Q1 forecast(quite low in comparison) - must be the reason for the drop?
Cheers, Chris

I haven't had been impressed with ENGH the last few years. Is there light at the end of the tunnel or should I sell it?
Thanks,

Q: Just wanted to know the prospects of LIT for the next few years. It has not been performing very well. A recent article in Globe & Mail suggest that Lithium prices may not improve till 2025. The supply of lithium carbonate is projected to double over the next three years and demand of EVs is just steady. What are your thoughts?

Q: TBIL is an ETF offering 3 month US T-Bills and provides a reasonable return of 4.53%. Is there an ETF that offers 2 year T-Bills? I think it might offer a higher return.

Q: I am curious if you are aware of any large cap investment (> $7B) that is -68% in 2 years and -40% in one year? I don’t think this can be entirely blamed on the market. In any other business there would be a massive purge starting at the very top. What are your thoughts? Has this thing bottomed?
Q: What just happened to ZWK?
