Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter and Crew,

Looking for an updated opinion on Trimac Transportation (TMA), seems cheap despite recent good performance? Also, I've heard a rumour that they may be looking to take the company private (I don't know how much validity I can put behind this rumour, but I digress..) if they do, is that typically good for existing shareholders (ie. bought out at a premium)? Thanks!

Q: Given the recent spike in bond yields do you think it would be wise to reduce exposure to bonds (held in mutual funds or etfs, either pure bond or as part of a balanced fund) and either increase equity exposure or simply move the fixed income allocation into cash / money market? Are we at a turning point where bonds are higher risk than equities? I think Buffett made some comments to that effect last year.
