Q: I note in your email news report this morning that you are overall positive on prospects for the markets in general. Your report notes that the current P/E for the S&P500 is 19.37, which I understand is elevated but not of great concern. I see elsewhere, however, that the CAPE for the S&P500 is quite elevated at about 28, which some people in the business, notably Prem Watsa of Fairfax Financial, are taking as a glaring warning signal. What is your view on that?

Q: Can you please comment on negative bond yield we see, i believe, mostly in europe. I think i understand the concept of deflation but why would an investor accept negative ytm ? (Too much risk perceived elsewhere ...) Are those investors mostly gov't entities ? If i am not mistaken i saw the 30 year german bond yield at 1%. I really have hard time to see the appeal. Thank you for your thoughts.

Q: It looks like mart resources may enter an agreemant to have it's assets taken over by midwestern oil and gas at 80 cents a share. Does this make todays share price for mart a bargain. Is it worth buying some and waiting for deal to happen?

Q: I was thinking about setting up the new portfolio between our 2 TFSA. 13 companies in one 12 in the other. I doubt I will need the money ever which give roughly 30-40 years for it to work its magic. Now would it be reasonable to do so and would you expect it to outperform a portfolio such as the model portfolio or similar? What if I need the money in 10 years? Both TFSAs are max out and I have other diversified portfolios beside that.

Q: I hold this fund in my RRSP, it represents 10% of the account and about 2% of a well diversified overall portfolio. Its value has been going down and is now about 11% underwater. Would you recommend continuing to hold or take the loss and reinvest in something more productive?

Q: Good Morning Peter & team,

Have read two articles this morning - Seeking Alpha & Daniel Miller - both prognosticating F could be a $35+ stock in a year - 2 years time.

Their forecast goes to the fact F has poured a considerably amount of cash into their ailing Pension Fund over the past 3 years with that lessening moving forward increasing cash flow significantly. They also speak to a decreased cost base by a reduction in the platforms being used, and despite China not necessarily being tremendously healthy right now, it still generated almost 4 million more in new car sales than the US, that this should only increase in the coming years, and that the majority of these sales were in the more profitable SUV/PU.

You mentioned in your answer Feb 11 you felt F was better than GM as far as being a keeper but, you also mentioned it was a little expensive.

Has your opinion changed at all since then? Do you still consider it expensive? Would you be comfortable recommending F as a buy? And finally is there anything else we should know before taking a new position in F today?

Thanks for all you do

Gord
