Q: Since 2007 my wife and I have contributed our best appreciated securities in our cash account to a Private Giving Foundation (PGF) at TDWaterhouse which has helped us minimize income tax by escaping the capital gains tax thus maximizing charitable donations. For the earlier contributions, once in the PGF the money from stock sales has been invested in the TD Balanced Income Fund which has had stodgy performance and steep MER, and TD Monthly Income Fund lately which is sort of ok for both. We have no choice in the allocation of investments once our securities have been committed to the PGF.

For our future contributions to a PGF are you aware of any other carriers that might provide more choice in the investments made on behalf of our chosen charities and/or lower fees to run it? (I am in no hurry for an answer here as I recognize it is a question that may be outside your scope, or if it is more apt for CMS, I'll post it there.)

Thanks to 5i for pointing out Badger +205% which will be the next to go to the PGF before repurchase, and others I would not have acted on without 5i. Thanks again, J.

Q: Hi Peter and Crew:
What sectors do you see benefiting next from improvements in the North American Economies, and could you recommend two or three Canadian ETF's that would take advantage of that sector shift.

Q: Hi 5i Team,
Bonterra Energy announced good operating results & earnings today, and increased the dividend. The share price fell by 3.5% percent. Am I missing something here?
Your comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
Brian

Q: Hi Peter and Team, can you please comment on Bonterra Energy, BNE, 3Q results and your thoughts on BNE for 2014 would be appreciated. Payout ratio looks great and maybe time for another acquisition for them? If yes then any guess as to who would be a good fit/target for BNE? Thanks!

Q: In your most recent comment on Atlantic Power Corporation, you said "2014's payout ratio will be above 100%." Yet the payout ratio for 2013 is estimated at ~70% (per <http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/atlantic-power-corporation-releases-third-quarter-2013-results-231059291.html>); how is it possible to estimate such a sharp increase even before 2014 forecasts are published? (Or am I looking in the wrong place for this information?)
