Q: Peter,
Further to your response below re: companies / sectors to own in a hypothetical rising rate environment, and more importantly, what NOT to own (Utilities), "you could see some big stock drops, and investors might be surprised". You have Enbridge in the portfolio, as do I, I know you say its early (which I lean towards as well), but at what point do you start reconsidering the thesis that "its early" should an Enbridge consider to slide given its high PE?
Would you instantly advise your members when to sell something in the model portfolio?
Thanks team, great work.

Q: hi peter, i think this is the key question going forward,do you think that now that bond yields have started rising, it will be like a freight train and people will keep selling bonds and therefore yields keep rising and second part of my question people will start rotating out of reits and utilities because their yields become less attractive. dave

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: Hello:
I have hold CNR for a few years and my ACB is around $ 60
I heard that Mr. Bill Gates is the biggest non-Canadian shareholder of this stock as recommended by his bridge partner
W Buffett.
Should I take some profit or is one of the stocks to hold
for both dividend as well as long term growth ?
Many thanks and looking forward to your insight

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
