Q: DRT closed at $7.70 yesterday, but the bid/ask is 7.07 this morning. I haven't found any news (but that doesn't mean there isn't any!). What's happening?

Q: Hi team. Any thoughts on pair trades? For example, any recommendation of a weak stock (that you'd rate as a C or lower) that should suffer as rates rise and a high quality stock that may benefit as yields increase? Thanks and best regards.

Q: It's extremely difficult to get candid perspectives on Ultrashort ETFs. Structural issues aside, what is your view on the impact of "Seeking Alpha's" report that 30% of TBT's market cap had left as of June 5? Personally, I can't understand why they'd leave now that rates seem to be finally heading up....

Q: AMBA stock price has been climbing very rapidly. What do you think of this company for a growth holding? Also see article on www.seekingalpha.com called: Ambarella: The Company Is Wonderful But Do Not Be A Pig. And, can you recommend any other fast growth Can. or US companies for a short term growth holding, obviously to profit from capital appreciation.

Q: I've held TRP as a major position in my portfolio for years and it has increased only 3.5%. I always hope the XL pipeline will be approved, or the pipeline to the east coast, but I'm getting tired of waiting. Should I keep hoping or sell now and spread the $30 Gs around to better things? I also own PPL and IPL. What is your opinion on ENB? It always seems to me that the PE ratio is too frothy.

Q: There seems to be a consensus that rising interest rates will benefit US banks. Does this favour the big investment banks over other commercial banks? If so, XLF might be the way to go as it is heavily weighted by the big banks. If not, what would be a good alternative US bank ETF?

Q: I know that you dont follow US stocks as diligently as you do Canadian securities. Would you feel comfortable commenting on NXPI? I have held it for some time and have done very well. It has taken quite a hit in the last few weeks. I would appreciate your comments and would you recommend holding it. Thanks

Q: Technical indicators are strong showing a possible 22% increase or as much as $24.00-25.00 increase. There has been some inside selling, and wonder if this would be a good entry point.

Thanks
