Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I tend to be a buy and hold investor and have held Trupanion for a few years. In my TFSA It has fallen quite a bit in the last year and more so in the last 3 months or so. Is there a readily apparent reason for this other than small company jitters in this type of market. What is your general opinion of the stock and is it worth continuing to hold?

Q: In Saturday's Globe and Mail, Rob Carrick recommended investing in target maturity bond ETFs which, unlike traditional bond ETFs, pay the initial investment plus interest i on the maturity date. After having seen my bond ETFs go down dramatically over the past year, this seems like a good alternative. I would like your opinion . Do you see any potential negatives for these types of bond ETFs? Are if there are any such ETFs that you would recommend?

Q: “Has sold shares in company.
Company has too much retail orientation (very hard business).
Auto-body shops require large capital investments.
Strong franchise - but would wait for shares to fall before investing. “

This is what a recent guest on bnn said about Boyd recently. I have to say that I am quite surprised and pleased with the way Boyd has risen from the ashes in the past year. But, like the above mentioned guest, i wonder if it is in a bit of a hard business. It is difficult for me to really judge, though, so i thought that I would lean on your wonderful slogan that diy investing doesn’t mean you have to be on your own, and so i ask your opinion on this.
Thanks as always

Q: Rick Reider at Blackrock has started a new income fund listed as BINC on NYSE. Would ask you to examine this fund and provide any views, concerns, etc you can at this early stage. Am I correct that it has no yield such that it would only produce capital gain or loss once sold and therefore no tax while held from dividend income. Aside from its lack of track record at this point does the intended approach of this fund and the reputation and history of the manager lead you to a possible positive view of this as a worthy income investment for an investor preferring capital appreciation over yield. Thank you..
