Q: I have a question about CAE. Tonight's newscast on NBC reported on new FDA regulations requiring a significant increase in flight simulator training for all pilots across all major U.S. airlines. Would this be a major positive influence on CAE's fundamental business model, or are there other technology companies that can meet this increased simulator demand? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter, I am considering buying the closed-end fund First Asset Pipes & Power Income Fund (EWP.UN), mainly for income and diversification. The income seems very stable and the fund seems relatively concentrated. The MER looks fairly cheap at 0.75 per cent. But I am not very familiar with this type of product. NAV does not seem to be far from trading value. I would your view on this type of product generally and on this fund in particular. Thanks.

Q: DIVIDEND ETFs: I agree completely with your 03 Nov. Reserarch Blog article "Five Reasons to Love Dividends". Dividend income constitutes a significant (and growing) portion of my current retirement income.

RBC is about to launch 3 new dividend-oriented ETFs (RCD, RUD, RWD) and in August Vanguard Canada launched 2 new dividend-oriented ETFs benchmarked to the US Dividend Achievers Select Index. Please comment on these offerings as an alternative to holding dividend-oriented mutual funds or a portfolio of individual dividend-paying equities.

Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,

My kids have saved up some cash from Birthday gifts and holiday gifts over the years. They are 12 and 10. I have convinced them to put some into their RESP A/C and they would get 20% from the gov.
On an earlier question you had suggested picking up DIS for long term stability.
At a PE of 20.9 would it be ok to do that as the kids can relate to DIS.
If ok would you hold it in US$ for diversity?

Always appreciate your input.

Thanks Irshad.

Q: I bought Blackberry on the way down over the past few weeks to average down cost per share and thus my potential loss if the $9.00 per share offer worked out. We now know the sale to Fairfax didn't happen. Would it be wise for me to now sell all of my stock, and wait 30 days to get the tax loss, and re-evaluate at that time if I even dare to entertain owning shares in Blackberry ever again? Surely even if Mr Chen is a miracle worker it would be unlikely to happen that fast. comments please

Q: Hello,

I am looking at purchasing a large cap oil company. I would like your opinion on cnq vs suncor? Suncor seems to have rocketed up and cnq is still in the low 30s. What would be a better hold? Also, in general what would you consider a good percentage for a portfolio return, per year, 5%, 7%? What did you aim for when you were a portfolio manager?

Thank you again for a great service!
