Q: Good evening
In the last two weeks at least three experts recommended either to sell or not to buy TRI. One company that recommended shorting the TRI stock provided the following reason: "Uncertainty surrounding the plan to return $9,000,000,000 to TRI shareholders through a substantial issuer bid.
I own this stock for ten years.
Can you please advise me as to what is a substantial issuer bid and how this affects negatively the common shareholders.
Do you recommend that I sell TRI or should I continue to hold it?
As always I appreciate your insight.

Q: I use an advisor and pay 1% annually on my assets under management. My mandate is for income and they have me in about 35 equities, a corporate bond ladder and a Govt. bond ladder.

A friend says I should use a basket of mutual funds and self manage. I'm considering switching to your income portfolio along with a few other holdings, but my question pertains to my current situation. What's better, a diversified basket of equities or a basket of mutual funds? I think I know you'll say a diversified basket of equities, but where do I see these statistics for myself? I would really like to be able to tell my friend (respectfully) that they are wrong...historically, a basket of mutual funds doesn't outperform a basket of stocks.
