Q: Hi Peter, we had MMT before you exposed the stealing of the pipeline company. This time is a little bit more. Under such condition, is it possible to value it? Your previous replies are extremely educational and helpful.

Q: Hi Peter;
is Easy Home a "buy" at the price of $14.45 (up 4% today) ?
Also, is Auto Canada @ $36.80 (up 2.25%) a good buy.
Do you have a preference between the two?
I have $9,000 to invest. Should I purchase either one or put $4,500 in both?
Thanks, Ron
Would you recommend to invest

Q: Hi 5i people. This is a follow up question to one asked by Ray regarding QE. No one seems to be worried about the consequences of QE. It's a party, let keep going! The FED's balance sheet is now above 3 trillion (with a T). Could we please pause for a moment and ask what happens when they unwind that or how are they going to do it? Are we not at least robbing Peter (tomorrow) to pay Paul (to-day)? Henry

Q: I'm 81, my wife 65. We are not rich but have assets of over a million dollars in our cash, investments and residence, ample to last us the rest of our lives. However our pensions are modest so our investments are 100% in 30 dividend paying equities. The mix is about 22.5% oil, 17.5% pipelines, 12.25% power, 8.25% telecom, 20.8% banks, 5.4% other financials, and 13.2% industrials. We are not greatly concerned about growth but still add almost half the dividends to purc hase stocks. Is this a reasonable course to set given our age? I should add that the funds are in the BMO Investment plan and, at $9.95 a trade, I do not hesitate to dump a laggard, and I have relied on your advice to a very considerable degree for purchases. Thank you so much for this great 5I program.

Q: Hi, I'm holding onto XBB as you always hear that a diversified portfolio should include bonds. I'm down 5% and thinking that XBB could continue down once interest rates rise. Would you buy, sell, or hold XBB today? Thank you.
