Q: Saw this on Business Insider. Would you be able to tell me the names of the Index Funds & the one that was up 500%?

A 27-year-old investor who's building a retirement portfolio of $2 million in 8 years shares the 3 index funds he's betting on, including one with an over 500% return in the last 10 years.

Thank you.

Q: I hold some TLT and have obviously entered into too early. But I am prepared to be patient.
My question is more about the Billionaire Ackman article last week where he states he is shorting the 30 year treasuries. Now, is he doing that simply because he feels the it will be a long time before the Feds actually start lowering rates or, is there something else out there that I do not understand about long treasuries?

Q: Hi 5i,
Hoping you can clear up my confusion about something that I wonder about today and have a few times in the past..
The TSX is (I thought) closed today for the August long weekend holiday. Yet my CIBC Investors Edge newsfeed is giving me today's breakout stocks, percentage gainers and 52 week highs and lows for TSX stocks (MFI and LGT.A with 52 week highs and JWEL with a 52 week low) as of 2 p.m. EST today.
What trading is this all based on?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: It just occurred to me, and I thought your members might be interested, that BNRE is a better choice than BN for those of us subject to clawback of benefits such as OAS. BNRE pays the same distribution as BN but it is a return of capital instead of a dividend. So there is no tax to pay in the year received and there is no gross-up of the distribution. In addition, BNRE is convertible at anytime into BN shares. Seems to me that many people should be switching to BNRE instead of BN.

Q: This seems like an ideal entry point for these stocks.!
On May 4/23 you were asked to rank the above by expected Total Return and Dividend Safety.

1. How would you rank them today?
2. Looking forward what are the key points that would support your rankings for total return?
3.What are their projections for dividend increases and which if any seem to be over-reaches?
4.What are their projected Debt vs Cash Flow metrics?

Thank you, Hugh

Q: Hello Peter,
Given Topicus results, i was hoping for a surge in price but stock barely moved. Any idea? Also, can you comment if the results were good for Lumine Group, and Fulgent Genetics. Thanks very much.

Q: The Hammond Companies based in Guelph are producing astounding numbers yet HMM.A is far behind in stock market valuation with a projected P/E of 3 to 4. Why is there a discrepancy between the two companies.

Q: I don't quite understand your answer to Rajeev's question on CSU debentures. Does this debenture exist and what is a rights issue ? The only debenture I can find listed on the TSE is CSU.DB which show a yield of 9.5% not 13.3% . So I imagine I'm looking at the wrong one. Could you give the correct symbol for the debenture in question ? And also explain and assess CSU.DB comparing it with the one Rajeev is interested in ? Which one would you prefer as part of the fixed income section of a portfolio ? Thanks .....
