Q: Hello Peter & Co,
Wish you a speedy recovery.
I own a few shares of Freehold Royalty; would it make sense to own a few shares of PrairieSky?
I understand that others may be ipo'd in the neaar future; what then?
It seems that the royalties of the latter aare superior to the other; if so, should I sell fFRE to buy PSK?
Thanks
Tony

Q: If putting money into a Bond ETF which two would you recommend with good liquidity for the following?
1)Rising interest rates?
2)Falling interest rates?

Thanks

Q: I own NBD-T and BRP-N and am down 12% and 22% respectively. On the plus side they are each only about a 1% weighting in my portfolio. They continue to trend down and yet the housing data in the US (which I assume is driving them) doesn't seem to be that bad and in fact improving albeit at a slow pace. What would make them go up and should I continue to hold or get out and get something else? I have nothing else in the real estate sector. Great service.

Read Answer Asked by Linda on June 25, 2014
Q: There are two pieces of advice that perplex me about investing and I'm not sure which ones to follow:

1. "you need to take profits" vs "you need to let your winners run"

2. "You should be raising cash to take advantage of an inevitable correction" vs "You can't time the market so you should stay fully invested at all times"

I suppose point 1 and 2 are almost the same thing...

All of these strategies make sense to me, but a choice has to be made right? In your experience which ones have you found more successful in the long run?

Thanks so much for all your help.
cheers
