Q: Allow me to be the first to ask, the Fed is not tapering Bond buying, good or bad for equity? Most seemed to have $10-$15 billion 'priced in' so the obvious initial reaction is that stock will rally (they seem to be doing so as I type this question), however, the fact they are deciding to do nothing makes me wonder, just how bad IS the US economy? Should this really be considered a good thing for equities?

Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter and staff, we've been with you since Jan 2013, thank you for your excellent service - my wife and I have done very well with your recommendations. We were wondering when you do updates to company reports if you can show the ratings change + or (-)? - just a thought. Many thanks.

Q: Approximately 15% of my holdings are in convertible debentures (eg HR.DB.D) purchased some time ago with interest payments just under 6%. With one small exception these dropped to around their purchase point of 100 with the recent interest rate scare. These were purchased by my full service broker before we parted ways. I have now found that they are extremely illiquid and may be hard to sell at the price shown on my screen as the last sale may have been weeks ago. They form about 50% of what I consider the fixed income part of my assets but their price actually tracks the common because of the convertible nature. Am I right to consider them fixed income and do you have an opinion on the wisdom of keeping them?

Q: A question regarding portfolio management. When you talk about weightings, do you mean the original amount that was invested? I hold BYD in my TFSA along with 12 other stocks, it is now up 130% so should I be talking some profit and redistribute to adjust the weighting (a nice dilemma, thank you)!

I have the same situation with AYA which is up 90%, although it is not in my TFSA.

If I should be making some adjustments, any thoughts on which stocks to add?

Thank you

Q: Peter,

Do you think CEN is a good buy for takeover play. Some of the recent takeovers like TOL have been pretty disappointing. How much premium is already reflected and how much more can be anticipated?

Q: Hi Peter & Team,

Quick thoughts on TICC Capital Corp, TICC. Are the financials sustainable, are they a good growth/dividend increasing company? and finally is the current price a good entry if at all?
