Q: re cfn....If interest rates go up, does this hurt or help with profitability? In the world of banking and finance I find that this is quite specific to individual companies.

Q: Hi
Is now a good time to take an initial position in BIP.un.
Would this company be expected to perform better than a reit over the next few years if interest rates increase. Thanks

Q: I currently hold shares in Coastal Energy (CEN). It just agreed to a $19 a share merger with Compaņia Espaņola de Petroleos. Would this be a good time to sell or would it be better to hold on for a higher share price when the deal is completed in 2014?

Q: Thanks for the good advice on keeping AAH after the merger was announced. Should I still hold AAH or better to go with with Mnw? When does the sale close?

Q: Hi,

I need your advice on this. At the current price of 8.72 per MNW share, AAH should be worth (6.52/0.957 cash + 3.6 MNW Shares * 8.72) $38.2 but it is trading at $37.05. Also if I hold 200 MNW shares for total cost of $1,744 and the price goes to $12 I will have $2400 or 37.6% gain but If I hold AAH instead, for the same $1,744 I get 47.07 shares which at the $12 MNW price would be worth $2,353 or a gain of 34.9%. Based on this after a certain price of MNW shares, it is better to hold MNW instead of AAH. Do you agree?

Q: With Sears SCC just having announced a special $5 dividend, would it not be a good time to buy at least for the short term? Any pitfalls that I'm not aware of?
Thanks

Q: Market strategy
With big name investors like Carl Icahn predicting big drops in the market, I am getting a bit nervous.
What is your perspective on the current state of the markets? Would you be inclined to go to a higher cash position. If yes, would you sell specific sectors or more generally across the board.
My investor profile is more income oriented vs needing to selll stocks.

Thanks.

Thanks,

Q: Hi Reter and team: Within the last week two analysts on BNN gave dramatically different assessments of Fortis. One figured it was a buy at current prices and that being a regulated utility its revenue would be allowed to rise with interest rates. The other thought it would never grow again and deserved to be shorted (shorting it was his third "pick"). Can you shed some light on this disagreement?
