Q: To add to Donald's question:

i have a position in NFI (now about 2,5 %). Considering that:
-its a long term hold (5 years +, no need for dividend money while waiting)
-that it is hold in a registered account ,so no taxes loss or gain
-that trading fees are not significant

would you keep the current NFI position or switch it to MG ?

Q: this is not a question, but a comment to the question from Lai Kuen who is holding Constellation in a USD account. Constellation pay their dividend in USD, so if you keep the shares in a USD account you will be credited with USD $ and avoid exchange fees. You still be eligible for the dividend tax credit.

Q: Can you update your comments on Eastmain and the upcoming buy-out? I am a LT SH and have not done well though it appears to have a good location and gneral potential. I am looking at cashing out and rolling in to other opportunities in mining that are actually producing but have not run up with the bullion prices. It seems to me that First Majestic is well positioned to benefit from the recent silver pricing change. Any thoughts to share on that or other companies with share prices that have not risen with the rise in bullion prices, yet?
Thanks, Calvin

Q: Hi 5I,
I own REAL and am hanging in there through this down draft on the share price as I believe that it will do well in this low interest rate environment that is expected to carry on for a few more years as (addressed in the Fed comments this week). I read your response to a question that a negative impact is that they are concentrated with a few large institutions and losing one could impact the company at least in the short term. It lead to my wondering who are their competitors in this market? Would you consider REAL a disruptor in this field and are they early in the process? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, I read your Saturday column in the FP very religiously. This Saturday you suggested that a Portfolio with 90% Govt. T-Bills and 10% Call Options can provide significant Upside & just as much Downside Protection. I don't know much, if anything about T-Bills & Options. Would you kindly explain? Also, where can I learn more about them online?
Thanks so much

Q: Given that RIT holds nearly all the REITs [including the two mentioned here] and their dividend is higher, does it make sense to simply hold RIT [even if their fees are higher]?
