Q: Peter, do you think MAL is a good long term holding? I bought my position a while ago, and it's now~ 15% of my holdings. I wouldn't sell any, but I really don't know. Do you think is risky to hold on? Thank you

Q: I am baffled why this preferred is such a dog. I also own a preferred ETF (CPD) in my RRSP that is tanking.
Can you shed some light on why these are doing so badly? As well, how does the future regarding these holdings look to you?

Q: I purchased GC in 2015 and am currently down 27%. It's rated B in your rankings. The stock price is down to at best sideways, it does not pay a dividend. Not a lot of positives to say.

!)Would you hold it given where it is and the outlook.
2)If not, what would you replace it with that won't be 'dead' money?

I currently own all 3 of your portfolios.

Thanks

Q: I sold my Teck, unfortunatly in an RRSP, and am watching it closely in order to buy back in if it turns. I noticed today that was a big jump of over 25 per cent in the stock price. I also noticed that a number of analysts had raised their projections on Teck and that at least some of them commented on the debt that Teck carries and said that they think it can pull it off, thus the reason for the more positive projections. Would these ananalysts alone be enough to give this kind of boost? Or, has something else changed?
thanks as always for the great work

Q: I've seen that you sometimes post questions to fellow readers and I'm wondering if you'd mind my asking if anyone can help me with a problem. I've tried saving TD webroker confirmations to keep for income tax purposes, and all I get is blank pages. I haven't tried printing them, since that would defeat the whole purpose of paperless documentation. Has anyone been able to do this? My computer is a Mac. I realize you may feel this is an inappropriate forum for this query and choose not to post it, but if you do post it, my sincere thanks!
