Q: i have held axp for a number of years and added some more this year. It appears weak these days, making it tempting to add more. As a cardholder, it is by far my favourite card to have. Service, points rewards, perks, web and app make it a winner in my books. Any thoughts on it as an investment? Thanks in advance.

Q: Hi there,

I worked in the government for 15 years and I am 41 years old. I am eligible to get a transfer value for my service which would be roughly 250k within RRSP limits and 250K outside RRSP limits (or) I can collect an indexed pension pension of approx $2600 (todays value) at age 60. I did the calculation and I find that if I make about 7% I am better off than the pension plan taking the transfer value..Please give your opinion on this. Is this doable? If I do end up taking the transfer value can you suggest how I should invest it? I have a period of 20 years before I can withdraw from it. Would it be appropriate if I invest a portion of it by mirroring your model and divident portfolio? What should I do for international allocation? US allocation? Are there some investments which I can make which are not very market dependant? This is very important for me and I value your opinions. I realise this is more than one question so fell free to use more than one question credit as appropriate to respond. Thanks very much.

Q: Peter ... I have pretty well stuck with the two earlier portfolios (TY very much) but I wandered on this particular bond and am wondering if its weakness is attributed to low (er) interest rates. Can I expect this fund to eventually recover when the interest rates go up ?? TY.

Q: Hi
I have held Endo since the Pallidan buyout and it has been quite good to me, however I'm wondering if it's maybe time to move on as it's fundamentals seem to have stalled. Would very much appreciate your opinion.
Thank you

Q: I have held these Artis Debentures for 3 years and with the currency changes, have done quite well over this time period. The coupon is 5.75% and the yield to maturity is 5.03%. The maturity date is June 30, 2018. I consider this part of my fixed income although it is held in a taxable account.
In your opinion, should I continue maintain this holding for 3 more years?

Q: What do you think of CP's answer regarding how they calculate their earnings?

http://business.financialpost.com/news/transportation/canadian-pacific-railway-executives-off-guard-by-bs-comment-in-conference-call

And on a related note, was there anything in CNR's (Canadian National Railway) earnings to cause concern? Management reaffirmed forward guidance and it looks "cheaper" now, on a forward p/e basis, than it has in a long while.

Thanks,

John

Q: C-COM Satellite Systems earnings report today showed declining revenue and net profit (7% & 17% respectively). They still have lots of cash, but it would appear they need new products and they have one they are working on (in-motion antenna, which will deliver broadband Internet over satellite into vehicles and trains while in full motion). Is the market big enough and are they close enough to commercialization to justify holding a position in CMI?
