Q: I have cash in TD's Premium Money Market Fund yielding .81 % and I am considering putting the money in Ing Direct Savings Account paying 1.35% interest. Are there risks which I am unaware of as the yield difference is considerable. I frequently sell funds to cover stock purchases and the TD money market fund is quite active with money flowing in and out. Thanks, Bill

Q: Hello, I am wondering about holding on to ESN. I am up over 30% and I note it is up today over 5% on no news (that I can find). I am inclined to hold on rather than take profits. I plan to hold the stock long term, 3 years plus. Any reason to sell? Thanks.Bill

Q: The Altagas (ALA) purchase of 25% of Petrogas sounds good, except how do we determine whether the price was reasonable? The news release indicates it will be accretive to earnings and cash flow per share, but doesn't give a timeline. Any thoughts on the merits of the purchase, or is it a case of wait and see. I hold a 3% position from a purchase several years ago and will continue to hold, but would purchase more if the deal appears to be particularly good from the ALA view.

Q: Dear Peter and Staff,
My husband and I have recently received an inheritance of $200,000. We are concerned about the future purchasing power of our pensions and riff income due to the effects of inflation. Please recommend a portfolio strategy (including stocks) that should give us an ever increasing stream of income at a rate that is greater than that of inflation. Many thanks, I look forward to your answer.

Q: The US portion of my portfolio consists of CSCO, MCD, UTX, BHP and AAPL (a little bit heavy on the Tech side because of no exposure on the Canadian technology front). I took some profits and trimmed my exposure to CSCO and MCD after nice run-ups and am looking to use the proceeds to further diversify. I'm thinking perhaps a US financial (and really a play on Consumer Discretionary spending) like AXP or a Medical Supplies company like BDX. Or does something else jump out at you as being a nice complement to what I own? Thanks.

Q: Peter & Team, I bought SUM early in the summer and took a 25% gain off the table. I liked the recent quarter and concur with your positive comments. The stock is now back at the level I originally bought and am thinking of buying back in. The joint CEO's have announced they will sell about 15% of their shares through an ASDP to understandably diversify their portfolios. They will sell 900,000 shares, or about 2% of issued shares. Is this a buying opportunity or is the stock too highly valued at 63X earnings? I like the story and expansion plans.

Q: I am wondering why BCE.PR.A & BCE.PR.C preferred shares are experiencing such a price decline. According to BCE's web site,
their annual dividend is 3.45% & 3.55%, guaranteed to Sept 2017 & March 2018 respectively. On those dates the shares then may be converted to floating rate preferred shares. Do you have any explanation as to why the share prices have been in a steep decline since April of this year. Thanks ... Cal
