Q: I'm holding PHK (US) in my TFSA to get US dollars for travelling. Given interest rates will probably rise am I wise to hold or look at another high yielding US stock. If so what would you suggest? I'm not necessarily looking for growth. Also if I hang on to PHK how do you think it will react over a time period if rates only rise fractionally? As always, great answers to (my dumb) questions.

Q: I own shares in Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (CTSH) and quite like the Company. Today they reported the results for their last quarter. Earnings exceeded expectations and they showed nice revenue growth. Forward guidance was not, however, well received and the stock dropped over 12% today. This seems to be an overreaction. What are your thoughts on the Company's future relative to today's stock price?

Thank you.

Don

Q: re: TWX Time Warner

as per your advice I sold 50% (% was my decision) of my position @$84 as we all know the takeover game has it challenges. Today the price is down 12.5% to $74.52.

In reading a number of reports some are saying TWX isn't open to any further discussions at this time. Others are saying TWX isn't doing it's shareholders any favors but not having any talks with Fox. And then I find two other articles saying the deal isn't dead and that $93 is where they are looking.

What have you heard and what do you feel is the likelihood of the Fox takeover happening based on recent news? And what would be your advice re TWX moving forward?

Thanks for all you do

Q: re: BA.US Boeing

I am still looking at taking a position. Price continues to fall down another 2% today on extremely high volume. Your last comment mentioned falling price makes valuation that much more attractive.

Would you recommend a "wait and see" attitude or buy at this time?

Thanks for all you do

Q: BA.US Boeing

Recently read an article comparing Boeing & GE. Boeing appeared to have the advantage across the board according to the writer.

I saw you answer for Lloyd back on July 2. Since then BA is down 6%. Does this effect the metrics you provided Lloyd in your July 2 answer? And has you opinion on BA changed regarding Capital Gains in any way with the much reduced valuation?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Peter and Team,

I have been looking for a US industrial to add to my portfolio and have been researching UTX for a bit. Would you recommend buying it here even though the technicals are not great. I usually like to but into strength but is there something fundamental that i have missed here?

Thanks again for your great advice.
