Q: The global commodity strategy team at BofA Securities has identified 27 raw materials they group under the acronym MIFT – metals important for future technology – that are vital for the rise of renewable power, and should see significant price increases as demand climbs. My question is; could you provide guidance on an ETF that one might consider as a means to invest broadly in these raw materials? Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Q: I would very much value your opinion /comments about Larry Swedroe's October 11, 2013 article in ETF.com entitled "The 'Black Hole Of Investing'" ( https://www.etf.com/sections/index-investor-corner/20092-the-black-hole-of-investing.html ) about why small cap growth stocks are the worst-performing segment of the investment market. And why you recommend them in your Growth portfolio (IWO) instead of small cap value, for example - Thank you.

Q: How did JP do on his first earrings call? He is an extremely intelligent and capable leader. Also in relation to Dax, many are assuming he was forced out. Dax is a great leader and great leaders know when it’s time to pass the torch. Time will tell of course but I would not through in the towel on Lightspeed.

Q: Really enjoy when you run the stocks screens, especially when you explain the process, and why you pick certain Filters.
I have a subscription to Morningstar, but certain criteria is not available, like forward FCF estimates. I imagine you are using your Bloomberg Terminal to run your screens. Bloomberg is to expensive for me. However i would be willing to spend between 1or 2 thousand a year for a good stock screen that includes U.S. stocks.
What subscription stock screen would you recommend that is user friendly.
Thanks Gord

Q: Hello Peter,
Why is suncor not participating to the same degree as others in the sector with surging oil prices? Would i be better off moving to another name and if so, which is a better buy? Also, what do you think of Amazon's results? The stock has not done much if looking at one year timeframe.. Given the potential rise in rates, is it better not to take full position in Amazon? Thanks.

Q: Canada Post is currently piloting a Canada Post MyMoney Loan where funds would be delivered from TD to help expand access to financial services (loans) for Canadians.

The personal loans offered by Canada Post and delivered with TD are available in smaller dollar amounts starting at $1,000 – and up to $30,000 – with flexible repayment terms ranging from one to seven years. As always with TD products, customers can expect competitive interest rates.

Do you see this benefiting TD in any significant way and also do you see this hurting a company like GSY.

Curious to hear your thoughts.

Thank you
