Q: Hello 5i
It is great that these changes have been made to the Portfolio Analytics. The next important change would be to be able to download my portfolio with the combined positions instead of the separate ones. Adjusting the downloaded spreadsheet to having to add all the similar elements is a chore to get a hard copy of everything. Since I buy and sell with TD and monitor using Morningstar and Yahoo it makes things difficult. (I use Morningstar and Yahoo in addition to your great Portfolio Analytics as each offers a different perspective) and, yes, I do spend hours a day reviewing my portfolio but only taking action at your suggestion, when required but its is good to be hands on as nobody else would care as much as I do because its mine and not a generic assimilation from a broker!
Question: Is combining the positions available to the download in the works?
Thanx
Stanley

Q: "High Arctic Energy Services said Tuesday that Papua New Guinea has validated its LNG Gas Agreement. PNG Petroleum Minister's validation included new "good faith" concessions such as the preparation of a National Content Plan, third party pipeline access, possible state participation in pipeline ownership as well as LNG transport tankers."
Does this change your opinion on the company again? Thanks.

Q: As we approach year-end, I wonder if you have given some thought yet to tax loss selling opportunities. Almost anything in oil and gas and lots in materials would fit the bill. Will you be publishing a list of candidates as you have in previous years and when might you do so?

Q: This is a follow up to Greg's question in regards to negative interest rates on Sept 5.

Are negative rates generally good or bad for bank stocks? Since they will still charge a premium for mortgages and lending, as well as getting tighter with lending would theoretically mean less delinquencies. Also, I imagine they would still charge fees on any accounts that they already do, wouldn't charging to hold money (as a negative interest rate) be another source of income?

What other stocks typically do well in a decreasing or negative rate environment?

Sorry if this is rambling a bit.

Thanks

Q: This is a follow up to my questions about EFT TERs.

Thank you for the information about Canadian ETFs. What about US ones? For example, IEFA fund facts shows:

Expense Ratio 0.07%
Management Fee 0.07%
Acquired Fund Fees 0.00%
Expenses Foreign Taxes 0.00%
Other Expenses 0.00%

There is no mention of transaction fees. I find it difficult to believe the transaction fees for European markets are $0. Do you know where I would find that information?
