Q: I am looking to purchase ZWU - BMO Covered Call Utility ETF which has a yield of 6.6%. My annualized return target is 7% and I am very risk averse. Are there any risks to my thought process? This also applies to ZWB - BMO Covered Call Canadian Banks yielding 6.6%. Thank You.

Q: I visit your site regularly; it is my main source for investing advice and information. I have a question on financials. I am currently underweight financials (4%) in the form of BNS. I am thinking it is time to consider increasing my weighting. I could add to BNS, which I like for it's global exposure, or diversify by adding TD for exposure to the US. I would appreciate your comments. Thank you.

Q: CSS Contrans is a bit weak today. I imagine it is because of TransForce reporting which the market didn't like it. How much should one draw from TransForce's earnings in relating to CSS? I got a 2/3 weighting in CSS before it ran away from me so am looking for a good pullback to buy the other 1/3.

Q: Peter,

Just a general question. For interlisted stocks lets say ANV, if there is very high demand lets say in Canada and low demand in the US, what removes the arbitrage between the two prices. I am always perplexed as the volumes in the US are pretty high and is it US or Canada which determines the prices to be followed.
