Q: Last winter I sold ZPR and replaced it with MFT in my RSP. This seemed like a good move, but recently MFT has slid below my purchase price. It has a great distribution, but with rates more likely to go down than up (?), do you think that MFT will continue to go lower and is there a chance that the distribution will be reduced?
Would you sell or hang on?

Thank-you

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
What has happened to MND. A few days ago it was trading at $0.12-$0.13 and now it is trading at $1.24. So it looks like the price has gone up 10X. I also notice my share count has been reduced 10X. I have the TD Webbroker program. Has something happened here or is this a technical error. Help please...

Q: Good morning,

I've been shellacked by AIM and CPG and they each are about now only 0.25% of my holdings. Should I just cut my losses here and redeploy what's left of that cash?

Thanks,

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan,
Thank you for providing information on LSPD. I bought half position at around $30. I have been thinking of adding the other half. But LSPD had a good run and kept going higher. Since it has been out there for only a short period of time, I am not sure I should add the other half right now. I would like to get your opinion on it.
Thank you.
