Q: I am currently down $5 on Telus bought at $35 and am considering selling since reports indicate that the Government is not going to change the rules regarding new entrants to the Canadian wireless scene.
I am proposing to switch into Autocanada which you recommended on BNN last night. Am I overly worried about the entrance of Verizon in Canada? Is this a good decision?
Thanks David.

Q: Expectation of higher interest rates:
1. Is this an accurate statement (or likely to be): As interest rates rise, REITS, bonds and similar equity investments will drop in price while insurance companies will see share price increases.
2. If that is correct, why will higher interest rates help insurance companies?
3. Would banks see a positive effect as well?
4. Any other likely beneficiaries?

Thank you so much for this great service.

Q: Hi. I've been a member for 4 months and am happy to say you've already helped me make some money...both from buying better companies, and holding onto gains longer. Thanks very much, and I intend to stay with this service for a long time! It's a great service!

Having said that, can you help clarify how you remain 'conflict free'? I'm sure over the years that you, Peter, and your staff have managed to accumulate some investable wealth, yet you don't invest in the stocks you talk about. So what do you invest in? I know you don't have your money sitting in a bank account earning less than 1%.

In the FAQ section it does say your staff can invest in US stocks. While you do make it clear that Canadian stocks are your focus, there are numerous questions and answers regarding US stocks as well. If there was a question on a US stock that you or your staff owns, would you decline to comment or mention that you own it? Care to share with us which US companies are currently owned?

Much appreciated...love the service!
Ian
