Q: I am primarily interested in income but do not want to risk my capital. If interest rates move up, say 75 basis points this year, how detrimental would that be to the stock price. Would they consider reducing the distribution? Thank you, Bob

Q: I am wondering if the current bull market has a lot to do with new investors coming into the market. As it becomes cheaper and easier to invest, and the importance of utilizing TSFA's becomes more apparent, it seems to me more and more people are opening TSFA's and buying stocks. As volumes increase does that not necessitate higher valuations in general?
Q: I own TD shares and I'm also a customer. All the analysts and experts seem to love this bank, but based on the way they have treated me and their other customer issues I am starting to doubt this view. I think when your service is this bad - and yes dealing with any of the Big 5 banks is no picnic - its only a matter of time until it works its way to the bottom line. Thoughts?

The deal is supposed to close approx. in Q2 of 2018.

Q: If we expect a trend towards more internet/online shopping (eg. Amazon), is there an investing opportunity in companies that provide packaging for this type of service? Personally, as I've used more online shopping, I've used Canada Post/UPS/FedEx significantly more, and I've been recycling a lot of cardboard boxes. Would CCL.B or WPK have any positive exposure to this type of trend? Any other companies that would?
Q: I am going over our investments and am looking to put in a bit more zip by rearranging a few holdings in a well balanced portfolio of only stocks. In our RIFF I am considering removing 3% AW.UN and replacing with HLF. The dividends are similar and short term it looks like HLF is attracting some buying after tax loss selling and longer term corporate policy shift to efficiencies and developing more healthy products suggests a bit more potential capital gain for HLF. Please Comment on longer term risk for this change.
