Q: I understand you are not fans of Canoe, but in the Globe & Mail Gordon Pape recently put forward a persuasive case for income investors since the unit value has been trading
between $11 and $13 for the last several years. With the current price at the low end of the range, the yield is very attractive and the monthly payment of 10 cents/unit has remained stable since 2009. Any second thoughts?

Q: after reading your recent market update, it appears Canadians really aren’t looking to slow down their borrowings, even thought the debt to income net of taxes is an all time high, as this ratio is now like 170 compared to 100 a few years ago.

with regulations getting tougher with the big banks, some Canadians can look to get funding from alternative lenders like Equitable Bank (EQB.TO).

in this economic environment, do you think the timing is right for EQB stock price to stream roll upwards, like bigly over the next few years?

Q: A presenter on BNN Bloomberg displayed a chart showing that bond prices are rising while preferred share prices are declining. He claimed the divergence was due to most preferreds being rate resets and the changing outlook for interest rates was dashing the hopes and expectations of preferred shareholders for a better rate when they reset. However, since the rate resets are tied to 5-year bond rates and provide a premium over that rate, I would expect them to trade in the same direction as bonds. What do you say?
