Q: Hi Peter! SIS said in their statement "There are over a thousand resellers of accessibility products in North America." Their purpose behind this statement was to iterate that there are many opportunities for acquisitions that could improve synergies, but I'm more concerned about how they maintain a competitive advantage. Do they depend too much on R&D? If not, what makes them stand out from the rest and what are the barriers to entry? Is there any brand loyalty among its customers? Do you see them being bought out in the future (i.e. like United Technologies that own OTIS elevators)? Thanks!

Q: My only gold stock is MND. I figure if I'm going to wait around to see what happens to gold, I want to be paid something. What do you think of MND? On the dividend, how is the payout ratio? How long have they been paying it? Have they ever raised or cut it? Are there any other cash-flowing mid-cap or small-cap gold dividend payers? Thanks.

Q: Greetings,
Regarding Management Expense Ratios and Management Fees. TD WebBroker lists both under fees and expenses for ETFs and Mutual funds and I was hoping you could help me understand my costs. Using TDB900 as an example the MER = 0.33% and the Management Fee = 0.35%. Am I paying annually 0.33 or 0.35%?
Cheers!

Q: I've held ADN for a couple of years and am underwater about 10%, but have enjoyed the 5% dividend along the way. I don't mind hanging onto it other than I'd sure like to see it break water one of these days. But is there another company in the same sector that I could replace it with that pays a dividend but has better growth prospects?
