Q: I've been nibbling away at TV for a while and it has rewarded me nicely. On seeing their latest Q, along with the New Brunswick mine coming into production, I was a little surprised to see the stock sink a little. I think it's just regular market noise, but I thought I'd check to see if there was other news. Is there any, and how would 5i interpret their latest results?

Q: Hi Peter: I am 81 years. Am considering buying Fidelity Tax-smart withdrawal program. This fund invests 70% S&P/Capped 60 Index and 30% S&P 500 Index. If you can recommend the fund would a 50% to 75% investment of my funds be reasonable? Should I buy on my TD trading account or buy direct from a Fidelity rep? Would I receive the same net income either way? Thanking you for your valuable opinion. Ron Noble

Q: Global Gardens Group (CNSX:VGM). Peter, Ryan and team, can I get your comments on this new entrant? Looks like company has gone through several private placements, does this dilute the shares for current holders? May be some time for their products to gain traction, in your experience how long would it take to reach break-even for such food-based national level products? any thoughts on management track record? thank you and keep up the great work!

Q: I am considering adding some lifeco to my portfolio due to what appears to be a rising interest rate environment. Currently banks are at 8%. As Sunlife has recently had a run up I was thinking of FLI as a play on both US and Canadian lifeco's with some covered call protection . Do you recommend this strategy as opposed to individual companies and if not what lifeco would you recommend ? Buy now or wait for US policy in December ? And do I need to deduct FLI's mer of .93% from the indicated yield of 5.35% to find the true return ?
