Q: I'm in borderline Top 1% Tax Bracket, so I'm looking for a Flow Thro Fund. The Sprott 2016 Short Duration closed early, run by Eric Nutall. Can you recommend another? And, since I'm maxed out in my RRSP & TFSA, is it ok in a Margin/Cash a/c?

Many Thank

Q: This is another US company question which I recognize is not your area of full coverage. The company is Southern - an electricity utility in the US. Four US analysts have it as a "sell" and many others as a hold. I'm wondering if this is largely because of the shift away from interest sensitive stocks or for some other reason. Wondering if you have an opinion on this company as a purchase for dividend yield and relative security (recognizing that the share price could drop further). I don't currently own it. Thanks and Happy New Year Don
