Q: What are your thoughts on rate reset preferred shares. I own some CCS.PR.D and next year is the reset date. Is it likely that they will be redeemed rather than reset? If so the return left on these is very poor, if they reset then I would think the price will rise.

Q: Hello.
CPX Capital Power. Reading in the economist how conventional power producers in Germany got sqeezed and squitched,by the increased share of renewable energy, losing more than half their market cap in a few years, How do you view the possible impact of new solar and wind getting subsidized at the expense of established power producers. My question is specifically for CPX which has itself a small interest in wind farms. I have sent you a copy of the articles in this week Economist. Thanks.

Q: Hi:
I am thinking of adding either XUT or ZUT to my RRSP (have some cash on hand); the aim to generate 4% income over a long period; it is much better than the bond yield at the moment.
Which one is more suitable in a RRSP setting ? Thanks!

Q: Good Morning Peter and Team,
My wife is retiring in two months. Through her retirement package she can transfer 30K directly to her RRSP. I currently look after her existing RRSP and have all stocks in this portfolio (TD Waterhouse). I would like to put these new funds in secure/safe non stocks investments. Please suggest some ideas for us.
Thank you Gord

Q: Could you give me your opinion on the BlackRock Dividend Income Trust (BQY-US). It is a closed-end fund selling at about 10% discount to its value. It has a nice yield,7.4%, but the fact sheet on this fund gives rather limited information; e.g.,no MER is listed. It seems small but would it be alright for income?

Q: Hi Peter and Gang,
My question is with regards to LIQ. I bought it back in May after reading your report. At the time the stock was rated a B-and was around $18. I bought some more when it dropped to $16 in August. I see today it is already touching $15. Is there any more information regarding this company that would cause it to be having so much negative pressure? Would you still maintain your B- rating? Would you recommend additional purchases, hold or sell? Thanks

Q: I currently have a portfolio of 20 stocks with about a 5% weighting in each position. My investment objective is long term growth with increasing dividends. Three of my holdings are IPL.un(Inter Pipeline), GEI(Gibson)and ALA(Altagas. Are these companies sufficiently different to continue holding all three or would it be better to diversify into another sector? And if you were to sell one or 2 of these which would it be?
