Q: Good Evening
I own a Cominar bond maturing in 2022. I realize that DBRS has rated this company below investment grade (BBHigh).
Recently an analyst has commented that if you buy a high yield bond from Cominar " is like going to a casino and putting your money on the roulette wheel. It’s a terrible idea and makes no sense. The company has had to cut its distribution in the last 12 months."
Do you share the concerns of the above analyst? In your view, will Cominar have difficulties in meeting their obligations to the bondholders?
Would you advise holding or selling this bond?
As always, I appreciate your comments.

Q: Hi,
The only financial stock I own right now is bns. I want to add one more while they’re all still down a bit. Would you prefer ecn, slf or gsy (would you even count this as a financial)? Or is there a better financial to add?

Also, what are your favorit 1-2 for consumer cyclical and discretionary?

Thanks! This probably counts as 2 questions.

Q: Hi 5i, I do know you guys are focusing on Canadian Equity. However, I would like to get your opinions on short-vol ETFs like XIV and SVXY since this topic is so popular right now. We all know after today's trade, these products lost most of their values due to the spike of volatility. But in the past 2 year, short-vol has been a money-printing trade that is crazily profitable. I think since the market fundamentals did not change and the volatility will go low eventually, these products are insanely cheap now and looks like they will go up like before? One thing I am worrying is that Credit Suisse announce to liquidate their XIV soon. Will you say this will happen to similar products like SVXY or HVI.TO? Will you recommend to but this "super dip" now? Sorry this question is long, but I bet a lot of people are looking forward to hear your thoughts about this issue right now.
