Q: I am looking for a few income picks to add to my portfolio. However I am concerned about the eventual hike in interest rates and a certain amount of capital flight from income stocks that would ensue. Would you agree that financials generally and insurance companies in particular would do well in a rising rate environment? Any more specific thoughts are appreciated. Thanks again for your great service.

Q: I wanted to follow up on your answer to Ron regarding SunLife vs. CI Financial. I'm close to having all of the stocks in the Balanced Portfolio with a few extras from the Growth and Income portfolios that I already owned and don't want to part with yet. I don't have SunLife yet and have been hesitating to buy it. If you prefer CI, why is SunLife in the Balanced Portfolio? Is CI a substitute?

Q: I have held Fiera for about a year with little to show for it but the dividend. You have spoken highly of CIX but it hasn't moved much in a year either. Given their dividends are similar, is it worth switching out of FSZ into CIX or would you consider that a lateral move?

Thanks for the insight.

Q: Do you think intact financial is buyable on today's earnings report? Or it makes better sense to sit out the summer ? Is the year over year performance magnified on account of last year's weather related events?

Q: Peter and company,
Fiera has risen recently after being a bit stagnant but I am still down a little. Would I be better off to sell my shares (in a RIF) and buy something with either a better yield or growth possibility. I would appreciate your suggestions. Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi Team,

I just noticed a headline (http://business.financialpost.com/news/fp-street/fairfax-financial-holdings-ltd-says-insider-trading-probe-of-prem-watsa-tied-to-fibrek-inc) about possible insider trading at FFH. It seems this is not "new" news. Do you have any comments on the implications for holding stock in this company?

Many thanks.

Q: Good evening, I am the proud owner of CXI shares, which I hold in equal amounts in the TFSA and RRSP account. The shares held in my RRSP make up about 5% of my RRSP total while the shares held in my TFSA equate to roughly half the value of that account. Would it be wise to keep the shares in my RRSP and sell what is in my TFSA? If I was to sell (in whichever account) what would be a good replacement, or replacements?
Thanks a lot
