Q: Peter,

Is the rate reset spread on preferreds only good until the reset date? If so, do companies tend to renew at a similar spread or can it vary greatly?

Thank you

Q: I am retired and rely on my dividends to supplement my pension. I own full positions in TRP, PPL and ENB. I am starting to get worried about ENB with all the talk of lawsuits, Line 5 and Michigan. I am considering selling ENB and either adding to my PPL and TRP positions or buying IPL to replace ENB. Your thoughts ?

Q: I am looking at your : "Stocks that Pay Monthly Dividends" spreadsheet have a few questions. First, looking at CHP.un just as an example, debt to equity is 205.5%. Seems high to me but do you feel this is OK? What other metric would you consider if it is OK to you?
Second, their payout ratio is -52.9%. I understand that a payout ratio of more than 100% means part of your monthly dividend cheque is a return of equity (to be avoided as, theoretically, your equity position is diminished with each cheque) but what does it mean when the ratio is in a negative position?
Third, some listings, BPF.un for example list no payout ratio. Why is that?

Thank you, by the way, for this list. Fascinating.

Q: REITs, utilities, and other dividend and low volatility assets are being hammered today. Any idea why? Is the market suddenly starting to think rates will be increased? You don't often see ZLU down 2% in a day.

Q: Most of REITs are down sharply today, any particular reasons for that? Under current disinflationary backdrop, I think defensive sectors should be outperforming, so except REITs, any other recommendation to buy/hold for now? Thanks!

Q: High dividend stocks are getting hit today with exception of a couple of pipelines. Has something happened that the market now expects interest rates to move up?? Otherwise why are all these stocks being hit at the same time?

Q: I'm looking for a single high yield stock with, hopefully, some prospect of share price and dividend growth. Certainly dividend sustainability is a key consideration too. Between AD and DIV which one would suit this bill better? Or are there others I should also consider? Thanks.
