Q: Hi group - BNS taking a hit due to lass than stellar results (compared to other Cad banks) in the 2 nd quarter. I also own TD (trading near its high) my question is should I cash in 1/2 (500 shares) of TD and purchase more BNS to try and take advantage of the lower stock price (I am thinking that BNS has a lot more upside potential in the coming mths and years. Also I own the US banks and am becoming frustrated with their performance - what going on? they should be trading higher due to the strong economy?...Thanks for your guidance on this

Q: Do you think it is worthwhile to attend the Canadian Financial Summit? Which speakers would you consider the most compelling to see? I'm considering paying $89 so I can watch it on demand instead of live. Is this a good investment?

Q: I am curious about your views on Melior Resources. This company is largely owned by a Russian individual who owns Pala Resources and and also by Takota asset management and one other investment firm. Collectively they own about theree quarters of the shares. MLR has a mine about to be reopened in Australia and they have sales agreements in place for the products. Any thoughts on owning a part of company largely owned by others, that has no following in the business press? Any thoughts about the MLR outlook overall?

Thanks for your great service.

Q: Hi Team,
I heard about TD INVESTMENT SAVINGS ACCOUNT TDB8150 from a friend. TD Direct Investing says it is a no-load mutual fund, $10 per unit, currently paying 1.35%, and is RRSP eligible. (CIBC Investors Edge calls it a front load fund.) At TD it appears you can buy and sell at will with no commissions. Does this look like a reasonable place to park short-term cash in an investment account without risk of loss in principle?
Many thanks, Michael

Q: Hello 5i
I stumbled across a recent article by Ryan in the Globe and a member made reference to another article by Peter in either the Globe or Fin. Post. My question is: Is there a link or can you provide a link to all articles written for non 5i publications? I feel this would be a benefit to all 5i members.
Thank you
Dave
