Q: Richmont just announced that they have been added to the S&P/TSX Small Cap Index, and the stock is up over 7% today. I know this is a positive for the stock, but I'd actually like to exit my position (slightly under water), but wonder if it's worth holding for another few weeks/months to see where it goes? Specifically I'd like to know how long the positive effects of an addition to an index like this will remain?

Q: Some time ago I purchased a Royal Bank "fixed-floater" subordinate bond issue,for which the interest is fixed at 3.18% for the first 5 years, and then floats at the 90-day Canada rate + 1.21% until maturity 5 years later. The "fixed period" is coming to an end this year on November 2.

When I purchased the bond, I was told that banks virtually always "call" fixed-floater bonds before they become floaters. However, I do not understand what would be their motivation to do so: with the current approx 0.30% 90-day rate, they would only be paying about 1.5% interest to the bondholders until maturity in 2020.

Should I expect that this bond will not be called and that I will be stuck with it at a poor interest rate until 2020?

Thanks!

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
My exposure to the US Housing market is through Tricon Capital (TCN) and Interfor (IFP) and I'm up on both; however, the latter one is lagging significantly lately and I wonder if I should sell and move on to another Canadian company participating in this sector.
Could you name a couple? What do you think of Hardwoods Distribution (HWD)?
Thanks,
Antoine

Q: HI Peter,
Apologies. This relates to your answer to my previous question. If Bombardier decides to IPO part of the rail business, is it worth buying BBD now to potentially get some shares in the Bombardier rail IPO or is it possible that existing BBD shares holders may not get any shares from the IPO? Any idea. Thanks again.

Q: Hi peter,
Do you have a view as to why Fairfax taking a big dip on a daily basis? Also, do you feel the surge in Bombardier stock is simply speculation (i.e. selling of the rail business for higher price). thanks
