Q: Peter please excuse my lack of knowledge with this question.
A guest on BNN said the FED have turned the equity market into a bond market with QE and these low interest rates - HOW SO?
- The FED keeps interest rates low (lowering yields)
- Older bonds will go up in price as yields drop?
- Treasury buys up the mortgage assets and or bonds from the banks to re-capitalize them and put money back into the economy and try to force a rotation of money out of bonds.
- Companies (equities) can borrow cheap, increase: revenue, earnings and dividends, and stock prices go up - like bonds??
Is this what the guest was talking about?
Is it creating a bubble in high paying dividend stocks?
When will it burst?
I'll let you decide if you want to post this.
Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter, I have a quick question on PLB. How worried should I be in terms of the further weakening of the South African Rand? Is this a case where you just have to be patient and ride out the currency hits, or is there reason for concern? I am not sure if they hedge or not? Thanks a million!

Q: Hi Team,
I require a fixed income investment. Bonds and GIC's just aren't worth it! I was thinking of buying a preferred share from GMP (GMP.PR.B) The yield on the preferred is around 6.70% plus capital appreciation. My decision comes down to weather GMP will survive long enough and have the resources to pay out the preferreds when they come due in 2016. What would be your thoughts on this company and investment.

Regards
John

Q: Estrella (EEN) I would appreciate your thoughts on EEN and if you would advise taking advantage of the current rights offering to add to your position if you were underwater with this stock?
Or would you sell it and put the money elsewhere?
Thanks.

Q: Good morning! You state there is a sector rotation going out of stocks/utilities this week. What causes such a shift? Are there "typical" sector rotations that happen annually?
Am I correct is assuming that, in general, nothing has fundamentally changed with these companies, and if a company like ENB was suggested before the price drop, I'm just getting it at a better price? I've already purchased some and wonder how much more the price can decrease...
Thanks for this fabulous service --- it's great for do-it-yourself newbies like me!
