Please diresgard, I was thinking of FFN... sorry

[Stoiklaugh]

It's the deal of the day for buyback ... sold some a 7.58 cad yesterday...

[mouserman]

I see selling today, as some believe there will be a huge retraction .. i dont see that happening.

[mouserman]

Showing a gain of 23 cents now since the updated NAV to Nov 15th. last trade @  $ 7.23 makes the discount about 67 cents ... or about  8.5%  LFE blew by DGS in value like a rocket

[mouserman]

Lifecos not slowing down a lot... all 4 CAD lifecos up today, and 2 more going ex divvy by monthend. Banks in LFE are a little weak today, altho BNS has been on a tear .

A highlight of the week was Bombardier (TSX:BBD), which reported impressive growth in its Q3 2024 results. read article.

[mouserman]

Showing a gain of about 5 cents now on revised spreadsheet. So commons now valued @ about $7.72 and last trade @ $7.12 leaves a discount of 60 cents or about 7.7%

Quadravest updated the UNIT to the 15th at $17.67. I am thinking some covered calls got taken out which should increase the cash position for the monthend squaring up on the retraction of the commons.

[mouserman]

Showing about a gain of a penny since NOV 15th , and with the last trade @ $7.15 the discount is 64 cents or about  8.2% ,and that of course has come down a lot.

[mouserman]

So showing only a loss of 2 pennies since NOV 15 numbers ... Commons value is $7.76 here and a nnice pop in the LFE commons to $7.15 today, means the discount will be a lot less here  @ 61 cents

[mouserman]

I dont think the covered call income or loss will be signifcant, if history is any indication. They had a big cash position already at 18%.. and  I think that is in advance of some folks

[Inglewood]

This mid month update is the most important update since the COVID-era updates. Just praying the covered calls didn't take us out at the knees !

[mouserman]

So just waiting on Quadravest to update the UNIT NAV to the 15th.. they do not usually post a weightings change , but there could indeed be some changes in % of UNIT NAV with big moves in MFC ( +13.22

[mouserman]

Spreadsheet showing a gain of about 1.47 to Nov 15th, but not sure if this will be accurate... could be  a lot of changes... but for now that is the guess.
