Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I received a mailout of a class action lawsuit form for Swisher (swi). I remember a past question being asked about participating in these things for another company. I unfortunately still hold the shares. Would it hurt to be part of it, mail it out, and see what comes out after all the expenses are paid out? Are there taxes involved in these? A mail out cheque? Have you ever been part of these situations before and what has come out of it? Good? Bad? If this company is bleeding cash still, is it even possible they can settle? Thx.

Q: Good Afternoon 5i,

I have about 40% of my portfolio at this moment in cash. This is because of the season that I usually sell about 50% of my portfolio and re-enter in the market in September and October. Usually I alwau=ys kept this amount in cash over the summer. This time I would like to put it in a etf where I would earn some interest and not at risk of losing any of my principal amount. Would you have an etf to suggest to me?

Thanks,

Paul

Q: AYA... your favorite subject by now I am sure

I read your report and thank for that.... one comment which stood out for me was;

"We think AYA will eventually have to start ‘playing nice’ with the markets and release guidance at year-end to avoid this sort of decline."

Can you please provide additional explanation for this comment? Does this infer there is information management is not comfortable revealing? Or am I reading far too much into this .

Thank You

Gord

Q: Further to Steve's question and your response about when the dividend is paid to a shareholder, and particularly with reference to your comment “The easiest way to look at it is to only consider the ex dividend date. For Teck, this is June 12. If you have bought the stock prior to this date on the market, you will get the dividend. If you buy it after this date, you will not get the dividend on July 2. If you buy on June 11 and sell on June 12 you will still get the dividend.”
In my Direct Investing account, if I buy shares on the open market on a given day, they don’t actually appear on my ledger until about 3 days afterwards. Does this time lag have to be taken into account with reference to receiving the dividend? In your quoted example, if I bought the shares on June 11, I wouldn’t see them in my account until about June 14 or later. Would I therefore need to buy the shares on June 8 to make sure they were in my account prior to the ex-dividend date?

Q: good morning. I was wondering when a company announces that they are paying a dividend, for example; tck.b will be paying a dividend on July 2, for shareholders of record on June 16, my question is: Do I only need to own the stock on June 16 and can I sell it on the 17th or do I need to hold on to it until the pay out date to get the dividend?
