Q: I already have XBB, TIPS, HFR , would TLT be that much different from XBB other than having the currency exposure. Was thinking of buying TLT for more protection against poor markets or if interests rates stop going up. Could I just add to my XBB position to achieve same results.

Q: Is there a way to buy 30-year US Strip Coupons? They seem like a prudent play on lower interest rates. Any risks? Thank you.

Q: Hi,
My RRSP is currently invested as 19% BCE, 16% BHP, 23% BMO, 13% CTC.A, 16% IPL, and 13% RY. These are all currently in drips and I am looking at long term investment as I won't be needed it for about 25 years. I have $20,000 cash to invest this year and I am wondering what you would suggest I put it in.
Thanks,
Leigh

Q: In September you were generally positive on NTAP. Like the rest of the tech sector it was hit hard during the recent downturn dropping from $88 to $52. It has recovered to $63. Would you hold it here or take a loss and move on to, perhaps, OTEX?

Q: Hello! Magellan Aerospace has popped up on one of my value screens. As far as key value ratios go (P/E, P/B, P/S, D/E etc.) it looks promising. Profitability and Management Effectiveness ratios vis-a-vis its competitive set look decent, as does the positive analyst coverage. Insider buying in past year is negligible, however. I'd appreciate hearing your take.

Q: I was recently considering a GIC purchase. Oaken Financial is offering a 5y GIC at 3.6% through either Home Bank or Home Trust. When I look at the GIC selection on RBC Direct Investing (or TD), the 5yr GIC at Home Trust is offered at only 3.1%. Does that mean that the bank pockets 0.5% annually from such a GIC? If so, what is the best way to avoid this loss? Buy from Oaken and then transfer to RBC?

Q: Good Morning,
I have narrowed down my decision to buying either COV or PHO for my $6000 TFSA contribution this year. I don't need the money for years into the future and risk is not an issue. I like both very much but wondering what you think for maximum growth? I think PHO is more cyclical and if we do get into a recession in the next 2-3 years it could take a pretty big hit. However, Covalon being in the medical supplies industry I would think it would hold up pretty well during a recession? What would you buy to maximize growth over the next 10 years plus ?
Thanks
