Q: I am mid 60's retired for 10 years and living off our diminishing nest egg. We each about $20k of room in our TFSA's and my question is. Should we transfer $40k out of an RRSP into our TFSA's at this time. We will need the funds to live on over the next year so given we will have to pay the tax anyway and markets are low at this time when a recovery takes place we may save the tax on any capital gains. sage advice please.

Q: Hi Guys. BNP Paribas
I think its one of Frances largest publicly traded banks. It has a pretty good track record of being profitable, has a pretty broad product line, Insurance, wealth management etc, pays a good dividend, looks reasonably valued.
Would you feel this is a safe investment at this price for a long term hold, and is there a risk of it getting hammered even more like the U.S. banks did in 2008.
thanks Gord

Q: A lot of positives in today's new release for Questor. Notwithstanding the size of the order, but the Company is now selling its clean technology into a new market: Mexico.

What are your thoughts for QST and its stock price going forward?
