Q: I have recently been picking away at these preferred shares in the $14-15 range. This particular issue is a rate-reset which is going to reset on June 30th at Gov't 5yr + 1.28%, but there also is an opportunity to convert to a floating series prior to the reset date. So, the question is: Should I convert to the floating series in light of a market that seems to be indicating higher future rates? Canada should eventually follow the US in raising rates, correct? Thanks.

Q: VSN is approaching its 52 week low. Is it a buy at this price? The purchase is for a non-registered account. I have owned VSN in a registered account for greater than 10 years. I am readjusting holdings in various accounts to better manage tax liabilities going forward and want to shift the account which will hold my VSN shares.
Excellent service.
Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and Team,
After reading the update on McCoy Global, we thought that the company might be a good fit for our grandson's RESP [ a toddler ] . According to the news, McCoy will announce their annual report on Mar12th. If we decide to purchase some shares, would it be wise to wait until after the report ? We were also thinking of Precision Drilling.
Thank you for your opinion.

Q: Good morning: I have owned Mullen a couple times in the past, bought for income but sold after decent capital gains. It is starting to look like it might have that potential again. What percentage of their business is oil-related, and do you think their other businesses are growing and could offset loses on the oil side? Is it oversold? What is their payout percentage and how sustainable is the dividend? I am looking for income, about a 2.5% position, and am prepared to hold for the long term.

Thank-you

Q: Hello team, Just wondering what you think of this small cap. I believe the payout ratio is quite high and also a 9.2 % dividend Would it be safe for a small position in a TFSA? Thanks for your great work Herb

Q: These 3 appear to be more or less in the same type of business. Which do you see as being the better buy at this time and should I wait for overall improvement in the energy sector before buying?

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I sold KBL in early 2014 for $40 and watched it muddle along for quite a while; in a matter of a few months it moved up to around $50.
It is now way in overbought territory (upper limits of RSI) and with an ROE of around 15% and forward P/E ratio of between 25 and 30 (depending on the data source), the ratio profitability/PE being much lower than 1 (0.5 to 0.6).
Is it too early (or maybe too late) to get back in?
By the way; I own most of your holdings in the Model Portfolio, but because I do not invest in Smoking and Gambling related stocks my returns are slightly lower but still quite respectable. It takes all kinds of people to make a market, right?
Thanks,
Antoine
