Q: The BCE bid is at $40/share, but MBT is trading around $38 this morning. Is this as obvious as it looks for a quick buck? What are the risks involved and the chances the BCE bid does not go through? Do you see any potential for a higher bid, and who are the potential bidders?

Thank-you

Q: Hi Gang, can you please advise as to where to park cash when the market is taking a breather like it did in the last 3 quarters of 2015. Would gold or a bond fund be a place to be to get a better return than cash.

Thank you

Q: I read a recent review in Morningstar and this sounded rather appealing. It would be held in a rrif as a conservative large cap hold. As the gurus seem to feel the C$ has gotten ahead of itself would it be a reasonable purchase time, although that probably matters less than the low fee. (Schwab US Dividend Equity)
