Q: Hi,
What's the best account to hold VEE?

Thanks,

Q: A few of your employees own this. It has dropped off a few per cent in the last few days. Any reason? Also, before I logged in I think on Sept. 11 you were talking about two stocks that had a rating change - one up - one down and basically when I logged in I could not find this. Where do I go to find rating changes? Sorry Ryan for asking a lot of questions at the Money Show - but I really appreciated your presentation. Dennis

Q: I bought some AGI on the big drop yesterday. Would it be better to sell it and replace it with RIC in case they get a better offer. Also can you explain the big drop, did they pay too much for it. If the deal does complete, what do you think of AGI then?

Q: I own a 3/4 position in SIS. Is it too late to raise it to a full position now that it's up 8 percent today? Do you think it will pull back a bit?

Q: I am a little confused by a comment I read in the financial press which suggested that insurance company stocks may actually be poor buys now because rising interest rates lower the value of their significant bond portfolios. I thought that rising interest rates would aid insurance companies by making their long term liabilities more manageable.

Is this the same type of comment that is voiced by some talking heads complaining about current rising interest rates hurting the economy while you point out that rising rates means the economy is improving, a viewpoint that is confirmed by most data and the continually rising market itself.

So is the comment on rising rates being bad for insurance companies simply a comment from some guy who is trying to be different just to stand out or is there validity in this thinking?

Appreciate your insight.
