Q: can you explain CEFs in a simple staight forward way? I noticed that some have significantly higher fees than none CEFs. What is driving this? Are there tax implications for a canadian holding a CEF in either a registered or non-registered account. i also notice some issue K-1s and some issue 1099s. What the heck is the difference and how does this impact me as a Canadian investor. If you could also point me to a resource that would be fantastic!

Q: There have been no questions about this company in a year.
And the two most recent, elicited more-or-less opposite responses.
Could you provide a current opinion, when the dividend was last cut or increased and what the current short position is.
If you like something better, I would be interested to know.
Thanks,
Kyle

Q: ENB announced an increase in share exchange for ENF from 0.7029 to 0.7350. and states that this represents a 9.8% premium. My math calculates this to be more like a 4% premium which is in line with how market price acted today. Academic question, how is the 9.8% increase calculated? Thank you.

Also, any idea how much free cash flow is being lost by ALA as a result of the divestitures?

Q: I have recently taken over managing a 401K that is comprised of many ETFs. I have never owned an ETF prior but am wondering if this setup is reasonable. It feels like too many ETFs with a fair bit of overlap. Currently equal weights of: XLV, XLI, XLY, XLK, XLRE, XLU, XLP, XLF, XLC, XLE. Your thoughts - some of these the fees are a bit high as well!

Q: Hello 5i team
Chrystal ball gazing time again. I am thinking of selling transcontinental for a tax loss. I just bought it seems strange to be selling it. I have a feeling that it won't move much until the next quarterly report, if at all. would you agree that it is relativly safe to sell and buy bak at a similat price in 30 days? i would wait a bit, though, to see if it bounces up a bit in the next week or two, as it has been heavily sold and could be in for at least a little bounce.
thanks for all the help.

Q: With the current takeover on the table and the share price above the takeover price, how much longer would you wait for a higher bid to materialize before selling this one off?
Q: Hello Peter,
Namaste seems to follow the Amazon model and if they get the medical sales license, they could do quite well given their international exposure. Signing a deal with Tilray was a good endorsement;however, it is unclear at this point, what really transpired that would cause Tilray to cancel the agreement. I have not seen any official release from either company other than the Quebec newspaper article. The stock is down quite a bit. What should one do in this case? If the agreement is truly cancelled, should one sell or hang on as the overall model looks good. My concern is could the perception of the company be ruined and hence investor perception? Thanks
