Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hi team, I don't know if this question will provide an answer so I'll give it a shot.
Mortgages- is it wise while rates are low (mine is 3.09 fixed 5 year term ) to put additional money on your mortgage to pay down the principal or would you be inclined to invest it elsewhere for a higher return? My thinking is to pay additional payments on a mortgage while rates are so low. Whats your take?
Cheers

Q: Hi Peter, Just wondering if you knew anything regarding the reason behind the 10%+ jump in EQI in the past week or so. Given where they plan to go in the next few years in terms of their growth, how do view the current valuation, and if I may ask one more, do you still think an acquisition is possible in the next 6-12 months? Thanks always!

Q: I believe the direction and level of the US 10 year treasury bond yield is frequently used as a portfolio weightings benchmark. I recall the quant/strategist Peter Gibson (formerly CIBC and SCM) used to say he would shift weightings in stocks as this 10 year rate approached 3.75%. (do you know where he woks now by chance?). Stocks still seem to have the heaviest weightings but as treasuries have moved rapidly toward 3%, I was wondering what rate do you think a shift into a heavier fixed income weighting in a balanced portfolio should occur. Thanks for all you great work.

Q: I am in the process on selling my TRP as part of a rebalancing. Do you recommend selling at the market price or the bid? For example I could sell small chunks at market or the total position at the bid. TRP must be widely held but I suppose a market price could be manipulated. How safe is the market price?
When buying do you guys tend to buy at the ask price or at the market?
My father told me he always bought/sold at market as he felt it was better to execute the purchase/sale rather than quibble about the price.
Thanks
Thanks

Q: re Pembina PPL--what am I to make of the "straddling the fence" stance concerning pipeline building appearing in the media? Has this been known for years and I'm just hearing of it? Is there more to it than is getting press now? it likely to affect the stock price? Thanks so much for a neutral place to go for information.

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
