Q: Hi Peter and team,
While P/E ratios are often used by investors to value a company, many pundits warn against using this metric in every instance. A number of investment gurus recommend using EV/EBITDA ratios. Besides being difficult to calculate, I see that it's not always recommended in every situation. Can you give me an idea which type of stock this metric is ideally suited for and if there is a website that provides that data?

Q: I was complaining about the MER rate om my mutual fund at RBC and my son said I should look into index funds. I did not know of them so my wife brought some literature home on RBC Canadian Index fund and 3 other RBC (US div, International & US index) index funds. I do not see them on the category side bar so I believe you may not be into these. However can you give me a brief explanation of how they work and are they suitable for an ingenue? TIA
