Q: As my wife and I 'leap' over the 90 year-yard line, we ponder what to invest in for our heirs in the coming year - - specifically using our 'new' TFSA contribution room. Historically, we have preferred to use Perpetual Preferred shares - - specifically WN.PR.A and POW.PR.A for their yield, their track record as companies, their distributions which are dividends and taxed as such, and they offer DRIP (at least in our discount house). I am looking for suggestions of other high quality firms that might be considered. Use as many credits as required to answer please. Thank you for all your help over the past several years. Happy New Year! Bill

Q: Thinking of including at least two of these in the fixed income portion of our portfolio. Do any carry any 'yellow' flags? All seem to DRIP, at least througfh my broker. Could one just weigh them based on current yield? Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks, Bill

Q: In anticipation of continuing 'interesting' times, I am considering moving some WN.PR.A over to my TFSA. Since I am in my late eighties I consider this more of a fixed incme investment and less a consumer staple. Given the number of years the issue has exited, I am uncertain as to current redemption. I would appreciate relevant tho'ts. Thanks for all ideas that the team has provided over he past decade+. Bill
