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

Q: With Michael's Q on D. Rosenberg interview. What I am curious about was DR's call on the Fed fund rate for next year. He was saying it should be 2.75% now and that this is what it will be next year. As I heard DR he was saying the market is unprepared for this eventuality. So first, do you think that is a reasonable observation i.e. market unprepared for that large a rise? If so, is it enough to cause a 10%-20% pullback?

TIA

Q: I own ENB.PR.N and it comes due to reset about the end of this year. I’m down about $4.00 and am wondering what is the prudent thing to do? The reset by my calculation would be similar to the interest I’m receiving now. Is there any advantage to selling or should I keep it at the new rate for the next 5 years and hope for an improvement? I dont imagine it will be called.
Thanks for your input on my problem.

I get a lot from your Q and A. They have given me good guidance through the years.

Q: I started my children's RESP in 1999 and at first I had the funds 100% invested in a Canadian Dividend Mutual Fund When I found 5i, I started to invest the funds solely in equities. Three years ago, my oldest started University and the RESP value was $210,000. In May before the start of the University year, I sell $25,000 of stocks to cover the cost of one year. My oldest daughter is going into 4th year and my other daughter is going into 2nd year. To date I have cashed out $150,000 of stocks and as I kept my balance in equities throughout I have a remaining balance of $107,000 with two more years of undergraduate to pay for. Over the past 19 years, the stock market has mostly gone up and down (2001, 2008, 2011). I am positive if 5i was around in 1999, the RESP would have been much higher than $210,000.
