Q: I believe the direction and level of the US 10 year treasury bond yield is frequently used as a portfolio weightings benchmark. I recall the quant/strategist Peter Gibson (formerly CIBC and SCM) used to say he would shift weightings in stocks as this 10 year rate approached 3.75%. (do you know where he woks now by chance?). Stocks still seem to have the heaviest weightings but as treasuries have moved rapidly toward 3%, I was wondering what rate do you think a shift into a heavier fixed income weighting in a balanced portfolio should occur. Thanks for all you great work.

Q: I am in the process on selling my TRP as part of a rebalancing. Do you recommend selling at the market price or the bid? For example I could sell small chunks at market or the total position at the bid. TRP must be widely held but I suppose a market price could be manipulated. How safe is the market price?
When buying do you guys tend to buy at the ask price or at the market?
My father told me he always bought/sold at market as he felt it was better to execute the purchase/sale rather than quibble about the price.
Thanks
Thanks

Q: I have cash in TD's Premium Money Market Fund yielding .81 % and I am considering putting the money in Ing Direct Savings Account paying 1.35% interest. Are there risks which I am unaware of as the yield difference is considerable. I frequently sell funds to cover stock purchases and the TD money market fund is quite active with money flowing in and out. Thanks, Bill

Q: Hello, I am wondering about holding on to ESN. I am up over 30% and I note it is up today over 5% on no news (that I can find). I am inclined to hold on rather than take profits. I plan to hold the stock long term, 3 years plus. Any reason to sell? Thanks.Bill

Q: The Altagas (ALA) purchase of 25% of Petrogas sounds good, except how do we determine whether the price was reasonable? The news release indicates it will be accretive to earnings and cash flow per share, but doesn't give a timeline. Any thoughts on the merits of the purchase, or is it a case of wait and see. I hold a 3% position from a purchase several years ago and will continue to hold, but would purchase more if the deal appears to be particularly good from the ALA view.
