Q: Hi Peter and Team, do you have any thoughts and opinions (or articles you can direct me to) in regards to the benefits of cashing out of a defined benefit pension? Considering interest rates are at their lowest historically, and on their way up again, is now the time to take the cash lump sum instead and invest it myself? Would you consider a blog or article on this subject? I believe (but not sure) this may be the best environment to cash out while rates remain very low to get a much larger lump sum payout into a LIRA and take full control by making 'conservative' investment decisions for much better returns and growth for future payouts in 10/15 years from now. Thanks!

Q: In the situation of my Aug.19 question on trading MSFT, I wonder if this had been a TSX stock, would I be entitled to a fill on the order? NASDAQ has surprised me before when I got a partial fill on a sell order and was left with an odd lot remainder of a board lot, and 2 commissions to pay. I've also learned the hard way not to trade the Pink Sheets. Could I suggest, perhaps for the Moneysaver mag, an article on pitfalls of trading for the small investor, and what the pros do to take advantage of us? Thanks, J.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
I’m looking at adding 3 to 4 positions in the tech and industrial sector to my portfolio this is for the long term. Been waiting for a while to buy CSU, SYZ, MG and MDA and these stocks have been doing very well what would be a reasonable entry point or should I be looking at other stocks.
Great advise on AYA, BAD, CGX, STN and THI.
Thank you, Ronald

Q: Hi Peter, I am a medium risk tolerant investor with ok weights in utilities, gold, iron ore, base metals, gas stocks, CAE, telecoms, TD bank and a small mix of misc junior speculative miners. I am very overweight oil, CNQ, SU and a little TLM. My question relates however to my Royal Bank RRSP mutual funds. Half my portfolio is into the Royal select growth mutual funds. I have tended to semi ignore and let the bank continue to manage it but the returns have not been stellar. Do you think I would be better off converting them to regular Royal Bank stock, within the RRSP where they now are. Thanks for your help

Q: Hi Peter, I am 64, teaching part time and have about half my retirement savings in a RRIF. I have suffered 2 disasters chasing yield , Poseidon (PSN), and Sprott Resources Corporation which just cut it's dividend just 6 months after declaring their first dividend. Terrible management in both cases. I am looking for monthly pay, and 8 to 9%. Any guidance? Is ATP still too uncertain? Am I reaching? I am trying to not touch capital but my losses in both have hurt.
Thanks
Robert
