Q: It is always interesting how numerous analysts will give a stock a "buy" rating or , in the worst case, a "hold " rating. Seldom do you see one step up to the plate with a "sell" rating. As you have stated repeatedly, for every buy there must be a sale on a stock. Is there a behavioral bias with these analysts in favour of buying vs selling? Are they afraid

Q: Both of us retired in our mid 80s, the market has been good for us, so far. We are looking for investment that will preserve our capital, and give us some income, perhaps little capital growth or the least amount of damage in case of interest rate increases. Would segregated founds or JICs, be the right area to look to?

Q: Peter & co., greetings,
Respected studies show that most investors, pros included, cannot beat a broad market index. Adjusted for inflation, the Toronto Stock Exchange composite index lost money over the last decade while the S&P500 composite index more than doubled.
Why would future returns be much different? Wouldn't investors be better off holding the S&P500 index via say, VOO or SPY or QQQ and sitting in their rocking chairs?
And more questions - what can I do when I run out of my 24 questions? Are you considering a way of allowing subscribers to ask more than 24 questions (for a fee, of course)?
Thank you for your good work.

Q: Hi Peter,
If one were renewing their mortgage, based on your outlook would it best to enter a variable or fixed rate mortgage at this time and would a longer term (i.e. 5 yers) be preferred over a shorter term (i.e. 3 years). Appreciate any thought you may have. Thanks as always.
