Q: Today, Scotia upgraded Power Corp's price target to 38. Considering it's at 32, its last quarter was better than usual and the PE of 10x, I then look at technicals on TD Waterhouse. Short-term signals are more bearish than bullist (9 versus 5). I scratch my head...
How can I know if technicals are worth considering when deciding to buy a stock? Are there a few signals you always look at? Maybe resistance levels (setting limit buy orders right above a support)? I'm not a day trader, but I would like to use technicals if on average it gives me better prices.

Q: Peter, a few weeks back, there was talk of a liquidity issue with bond ETFs, Vanguard bond funds, etc.
Many of these players have arranged a line of credit with banks to handle large redemptions in a "crisis" bond market. I hold CBO (TSX), TD Short Term Bond fund and TD Mortgage fund. How would my holdings be affected in such a market? Would the CBO bid/ask spread widened? Are the TD funds closing day NAV prices based on the closing Bid (which could collapse in a crisis)? Any insight would be appreciated. BTW...great service!!

Q: Re the recent drop, there is concern that the new government in Alberta may phase out coal by 2020. Capital Power's coal plants will last at least 10 years longer so this would be a significant hit to the value of their capital. addition: On my earlier question,I stated that the NDP platform favored closing coal plants in 2020 - it should have read, 2030. CPX plants are expected to be operational to 2040 - they are in good shape - so if the government follows through it will be a negative and require higher capital spending.

Q: When you calculate insider ownership, do you count shares such as options, indirect ownership and restricted rights shares equally with directly held shares. Now that CXV have started their acquisition process what is their insider holdings percentage? Is there any indication of what the contributions of these two acquisitions will be towards CXV's bottom line?

Q: Hello,
I am working on increasing my fixed income allocation by trimming some stocks. I have a number of American stocks in my RRSP with a good profit and I have been thinking about trimming here and buying fixed income. I had thought of selling an buying an American fund equivalent to xsb. Do you think this a reasonable stragegy? I can also buy a large dual listed stock such as RBC in U.S. funds and sell it immediatly with the proceeds ih Canadian, thus avoiding the exchange from us to cdn,in order to buy something like XSB. Buying the fund in US dollars would save a couple of extra transactions, but it would not be in my home currency. If you think buying a US bond index is a reasonable idea, do you have a suggestion as to which?
thanks as always, Claire
