Q: GOOS has been on a downward trend of late. Bought in the mid 50s. I don't think that anything fundamentally has changed? Do you still like this company as a long term hold? It sort of reminds me of DOO as I bought DOO at mid 50s, watched it go down to mid 30s, and recover to todays price at 60.
Your thoughts please.

Q: Can you tell me if it is common practice to use total return or price return as the benchmark when comparing personal year end returns to the TSX or S&P? I'm seeing many sites use the lower return (price return excluding dividends) which obviously makes returns look better in comparison. But if i'm comparing my portfolio which has some dividend income why wouldn't the benchmark also include its dividends to truly see which performed better? Just wondering what the accepted practice is? Thx

Q: I asked a question earlier about Caisse Desjardins Federal Capital Shares. Thankyou for your answer. I left a crucial element out, though. The holder of these shares is 98 this week. If this instrument acts something like a preferred share, it probably wouldn't be appropriate for her . I am thinking, for example, of the performance of CPD, recently. But, it seems to be a bit different than a preferred share, too. But, there still doesnt seem to be any guarantee, like a real fixed income instrument. Thanks
