Hi Roy. That’s your call. Haven’t heard anything on the Street to suggest moving one way or the other.

Hi Fred. We are working on it. Hope to post both Power Point presentations on the TSFA and CSTA websites shortly after the presentation.

Fred and Paul
Thanks for your input on CGL.UN.
1. Any idea why it trades at a discount? Why does the market discount the value if the fund holds the bullion to generate the NAV?
2. When it converts to an ETF (assuming it does), does the ETF price become the unit trust NAV at that date?
3. I have some warrants from the initial subscription that I have yet to decide on exercising. Any thoughts?
Thanks
David

You guys in Toronto get all the good stuff. Any chance of downloading Embry’s and McIvity’s talks at the upcoming CSTA lunch, Dec 10th, and posting it on your website for the rest of us in the hinterlands?

Hi Phil. Food at Sheraton is okay (better than average for hotel food). The best reason for attending (other than presentation from two interesting and knowledgeable characters) is the opportunity to meet lots of people with similar interests.

Hi Richard. A relative strength chart on StockCharts.com using the following symbol: slw.to:paa.to shows that SLW currently has been outperforming PAA since July. That trend is likely to continue, but needs to be monitored from time to time.

Hi Bruno. Good idea on a conference in Montreal. Will mention to Matt Caruso, president of CSTA. He is located in Montreal.
