Q: Thank you for your timely e-mail this afternoon regarding Pensions as Fixed Income. I have always considered a DB Pension as good as a fixed income investment and when I set up my Portfolio Analytics yesterday, I was wondering how to tweak it to include my DB Pension. Your PV of an annuity idea allows me to test various values and also test it using a lower PV for a reduced % spousal survivor pension.
Thanks again and I think I have more to uncover in the use of this tool.

Q: Hi,

By my analysis, Telus has achieved 6% growth of stock growth over the last five years, while RCI has achieved 12% over the last five years. Why the discrepancy and which telco do you think will perform better in next five years, if any?

Q: I have been watching ESI as part of my speculative portfolio. The ~8% div yield is currently unsustainable based on current earnings yet their acquisition of Trinidad at 40% of its value is somewhat compelling for future appreciation. They have indicated their plan to reduce debt and clean their financial statements yet, while the sector is negative, your opinion would be appreciated. Thank you!

Q: Hello. My question is about the market value of ETF's. How does the market value relate to the NAV? Does the M.V. get adjusted to the total NAV of the underlying stocks? And if yes, how often does the revaluation happen. Basically, when I purchase an ETF, am I paying an amount (MV) that that might be higher than the underlying NAV of the ETF?

Thank you.
