Q: Re 'P.S.' from Paul (Aug 21st)
"P.S. - as a note to others, I have had a few situations where I had set up DRIPs and subsequently sold the stock. However, I traded them ex-dividend and as a result, the DRIP went through and I own 1 or 2 shares of the company. I would have to pay the full commission to sell the shares, so as a result I sit with a few single shares in my account. Kind of annoying."
I use TD Direct Investing and if you phone them in the above situation of being stuck with a couple of shares after a sale
they will place a sell order for you and WAIVE the commission.
I'm sure other self directed discount brokerages probably do the same. FYI

Q: First a comment and then a question.
Would it be possible to add the sector that the company is in when answering a question? I still have a lot of trouble finding out how to classify the companies. (oops - guess that was a question!)
Second, in reference to your comments on DRIPs, the on-line brokerage that I deal with allows DRIPS but they will only buy whole shares, not partial ones and they put the difference in cash in my account. As a result, I don't get the full effect of the DRIP and so I have tended to not use them. Do you think they are effective even in this situation?

Q: Hi Guys,
My question is about the Constellation Software Rights(CSU.RT). The way I calculate things, each right should be worth around 24 cents ($5/21.192). Why would they be trading at 41 cents, 70% higher?
Am I missing something or making a calculation error?
Thanks for the help.

Q: Dear Peter, Team
What's your latest outlook on SGL ? It is approaching a one year low ! I kept it for the dividend but now I am considering selling it at a 25% loss to avoid further loss. It is part of my RIF account! Thanks, Frank
