Q: It seems like everyone is positive on TD's future prospects. Yet no one mentions the potential monetary fines that could be levied against TD associated with money laundering. Why is that? Everyone appears to be very complacent about the probe over anti-money laundering. If the fines were substantial, could TD shares not take a hit? Your comments would be appreciated.

Q: Nice acquisition today by TFII and a good move in the stock. TFII seems to have perfected the art of the acquisition and integrating into operations. I believe TFII is the largest trucking company in Canada. How do they rate compared to US firms? Is there a possibility that TFII might be in the sights of a big US firm? Could they be on the receiving end of takeover bid?
