Q: After Hours Trading Question: Perhaps you could educate me with respect to After Hours Trading. I have seen many examples where there have been trades after the close that have radically altered the 4pm closing price in one direction or another. However, in many cases where this occurs in the absence of news, it is being done with as little as one share changing hands. What would be someone's motivation in leaving investors with the impression that their shares have exploded or imploded after hours, when this is clearly not the case?

Q: Can you explain the difference between panic selling in an individual stock and panic selling in say the S&P 500 ETF.
Would the fall in price between say Microsoft or Starbucks be about the same as liquid ETF like XSP or VBAL.
According to Michael Burrys article in Bloomberg he has said ETFS will fall like CDOS in the Sub Prime meltdown of 2007 because there is no true price Discovery and also the Market Maker might not be there to support the price in a Panic caused by a huge liquidity bubble he created by Blackrock and Vanguard.
Thanks Gord

Q: Morning gents. Can you please explain or provide detail on why one would purchase a US listed stock (eg: NTR, BAM, WCN) vs. the same Canadian listed stock. I assume that payment of US currency dividends is one reason but are there others? Where best to hold US listed stocks from a tax perspective (registered or cash account)? Truly a great service. Thx. Steve
Q: Cineplex takeover cash offer today by Cineworld group, Do you believe there would be a higher offer by a rival bidder?
Q: With Cineplex gone, another dominant Canadian company is bought out. How likely is this the fate of Dollarama?. Buyout from Dollar General a possibility as they don't appear to have a presence here ?

Q: Do you still like this name long term? Ia it a hold or maybe sell? Thanks
Q: Do you see the likelihood of a better take-out offer?
Q: Greetings,
I am getting close to retirement so starting to shift my portfolio to get a better balance of income and growth. Is now the time to start looking at preferred shares of companies that appear to be fully priced. For example, BAM. A appears expensive but the preferreds esp the perpetuals, BAM.PR.N appear cheap on a relative basis. I already own BAM.A but wanting to keep for the growth but want to add the Preferred to get more income. Does this seem reasonable given where the preferreds are currently trading.
thanks as always for your advise.

Q: I had been considering a purchase of BPY.un, but upon looking at their 2018 taxable income calculation, I see that while the full-year distribution was Cdn$ 1.64155, the total tax allocation to be reported was $2.47504. I'm interested in achieving less taxable income, not more. So, scrolling further down, there was another table for 2018 Canadian taxable income for a fund called Brookfield Office Properties Exchange L.P. , with the same full-year distribution, but entirely return of capital. However, I cannot find any information on this particular fund, so I'm hoping you can help out.
Q: Any ideas why COV jumped up 18% today? I know it is low volume but I have been holding it for a while thinking that It was being unfairly judged by circumstance. I am still holding it because I have sold stocks in the past just before they jumped up, sometimes I have sold stock the day before they jumped up 25 to 30%. i.e. I sold CSU a few years back because it had gone up to $135.00 per share. I panicked thinking that a 30% profit should be taken. Lesson learned.
Q: Have held this stock for a little over two years. Continue to hold or move on? If so, do you have another one or two recommendations? Thank you, Bill.
Q: Comparing Brookfield Properties to Fortis without including dividends except when considering overall growth potential which would you prefer for a two to five year hold?
Thanks
Thanks
