Q: Having recently watched on BNN an expert on technical analysis, could you provide me with your opinion on how important moving averages are and which ones are the best to look at - the 50 day moving average, 200 moving day average or other. Also where would be the best site to go to track these moving averages. I have never paid much attention to technical investing but am starting to think that it does have its place in assessing the success of a stock. Thanks.

- BMO High Yield US Corporate Bond Hedged to CAD Index ETF (ZHY)
- iShares U.S. High Yield Bond Index ETF (CAD-Hedged) (XHY)
- PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund (PDI)
Q: Over the last couple months I have increased the fixed income portion of my RSP, and would like to finish with a smallish position in a a high-yield bond ETF. Been looking at PDI and ZHY/XHY (they seem about the same). Some questions:
1) is the current PDI premium normal for this fund on a historical basis
2) the PDI dividend seems consistent, but how do they manage to maintain that level
3) PDI is more international than the others - do you see this as a positive or negative for high-yield corporate holdings
4) do you think it is too early to get into high-yield if interest rates keep going up or if we get into a "significant" recession
5) who do you consider to be the best manager of these 3 ETFs, and if you would buy , which is your pick and why
Thank-you Grant

Q: Can you give me your current opinion of Dollarama.
I'm beginning to feel it's over-valued. Can you also comment on its debt level.
I'm thinking that trimming or even selling might be the best move at this point.

Thanks Gord

Q: I've reviewed the financials, recognize micro-cap risk, and gas price drop off but no matter what gas companies, to sustain production (decreasing well outputs) or increase by even 5% to 8% per annum, require new production and so these two companies products are in demand. Recent results (last Q) were good improvements for both companies, though only SHLE has shown a market response. Can you do a quick financial and product comparison and indicate which you'd prefer over the other. I realize these are so small they are likely under your radar screen.
Thanks for all you do.
John
