Q: With all this volatility in the market affect WFC's bottom line in more ways than are immediately apparent to the unschooled investor? Will revenue be affected by declining commissions significantly as some analysts have been hinting? What else could slice into its profits, in this market (leaving aside volatility)? I would appreciate some fundamental analysis on whether to hang on for the ride -- or just bail. I've lost 10% on my initial investment, but I'm not so much concerned about its past, as its future.

Q: I've noticed with the recent market mayhem the Yield to Maturity on a number of convertible debentures has been rising and they are starting to look quite attractive.

Q: Are there any tax issues with holding BIP.un in a non registered account? Is it eligible for a canadian dividend credit or does it count as a foreign dividend?
Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
Everyone seems to feel the sale will go through. As a share holder if I do nothing will I receive $4.90 per share credit to my account at closing and the shares disappear? Between now and then will the current price tend to drift up towards the $4.90 sale price? The exdividend date was 12/29/15 with the payday being 1/29/16. If I were to sell now...before 1/29/16 do I forfeit the dividend?
Thanks for your great assistance!

Wondering if you have any explanation why on a day like this with gold stock up (Barrick up 6% today) that Goldcorp is down. Lately it does not seem to move with other gold stocks. Are there some underlying issues?
Q: What is your recommendation with CSE shares? Is it best to just to wait for the sale to go through? Or if it gets close to the $4.80 mark would you just sell the shares. Currently it is trading 5% below the offer price, and overall it looks like stable deal.
