Q: Peter and team:
I read a question from someone this morning about a TFSA for their 18 yr. old daughter. I had just been thinking about this prior to turning on the computer. I too am in the same position. I had been thinking RRSP. Which vehicle (RRSP vs. TFSA) do you feel is best for a young investor to start with? Also, for an RRSP, what would you think of a low MER high quality Mutual Fund such as MAW 104.

Thanks as always for a great service.

Phil

Q: Hello Everyone,
Looking at these two stocks, they seem to have excellent momentum. What are your thoughts on these companies and the space they're in. Have I missed the boat or do you think there is room to run. Also which one do you prefer.
Regards
Luke

Q: Hi 5i team, I know that you are not promoting market timing but I was just wondering what your thoughts are on the following; I am a young retired person with most of my financial needs met with my defined benefit pension. My investments are 100% in equities as I consider my pension to be the fixed income portion. Where the market has been so strong lately and with no recent correction do you think it would be wise for a conservative retired income investor to take approximately 25-50% of his investments and purchase good quality rate reset preferred shares with the belief that during a period of extreme volatility and market correction that these instruments would be affected far less than common shares? The only preferred shares I hold currently is ECN.PR.C. Please tell me if you believe my logic is flawed and if it is not could you recommend a few other good yielding preferreds or other instruments you believe would hold up well during volatile markets. Thanks again for all you do. Mario.

Q: Clarification please: 5i's response to Edgar's question on how split corporations work was, "If a certain net asset value is not maintained, common dividends will cease to protect the preferred shares." The sentence sounds as though the preferred shares will stop being protected. Is it more accurate to say, "If a certain net asset value is not maintained, common dividends will cease IN ORDER to protect the preferred shares"? Sorry about the caps but wanted indicate the difference between the two statements. Thank you.
