Q: XBB has dropped and has been a good long term hold for fixed income. Is this a good entry point to buy this ETF? If not, could you please recommend an alternative ETF that would perform better when interest rates rise?

Q: IPL: announced bought deal 11M+ shares @$25.15 ea yesterday to pay bank debt and finance their expansion at oil sands site? I assume the interest savings on the retired bank debt will be offset by the increased dividend payments to the holders of the additional shares? Have you worked the numbers yet and have any idea on the impact of this transaction on the balance sheet and increasing dividends going fwd? Is this stock a buy now or do you see a bit more downside-CIBC has a $28.00 target?

Q: HI Peter and Team,

Cheers

Q: Hello, what do you guys think of Solium Capital (SUM.TO)? I have held it for a while and it was a steady climb until August. Now the stock seems to be a bit directionless. This is a half weight position in the higher risk part of my portfolio. Should I take profits and move on or hold for a few more quarters to see what comes of it?

thanks

Q: Hi Peter and Team. I originally bought RFC at $4 and sold a couple of weeks ago at $5.13. It has continued to go up and Im regretting my sell! I'm wondering if I should get back in at the current price, wait for a dip, (and if so at what price) or move on. Thanks as always for your invaluable advice. Kim
