Q: I did research on this ETF and like what I saw
1) 5 star MS ranking
2)Excellent performance
3)Good bid/ask spreads
4)Invests in some oversold sectors and I like their holdings

Although it's small in size, liquidity seems good (level 2) and I think it would be a good complement to VFV, ZLU.

May I have your analyis and recco on whether you think this is a potentially strong acquisition. Or, do you have anything better?

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: I am considering a $US pay reit, and am looking at these two. Could you provide the payout ratio/dividend sustainability, debt levels and debt due timeframe as well as any other relevant financials. Industrial reits and apartment reits have done very well for me, but do you have a preference between the two based on the current economic forecast? Lastly, could you identify the pros and cons of Canadian domiciled companies holding virtually all US assets?
Thank-you

Thanks

Q: With reference to Thomas' unfortunate friend who has 92 absurd positions he should check to see it the account is charged trading fees. In some cases with a million dollar account the fees area percentage of the face value and no other charges i.e. trade fees apply. If so he could consolidate without costs.

Q: When donating securities to a charity where there is a capital gain that will not be applied, is there any restriction on replacing these shares? Can I buy them right away or is there a 30 day wait period?

Q: The Surge Energy share price is now struggling to stay above $1.00. Please comment on the implications of a company's share price declining below this threshold. Once it does, do certain institutional investors (mutual funds, ETFs, pension funds, etc) have to divest their holdings? If so, does this mean that the overall demand for the shares will drop significantly?

Q: I was watching BNN last night and they had Asian correspondents on talking about Cathay Pacific and all of the challenges they are having with earnings amid the unrest. My thesis (and what I would like you to comment on) is whether this might not be a time to buy into a company facing headwinds that are beyond its control but priced into the stock? I love flying on the airline and hope you can comment on the stock.
