Q: I see IFC has issued a subordinated Note which acts like a rate-reset preferred. It has an 80 year maturity with resets every 5 years based on the 5 year GOC. Is there a movement away from preferred shares as a source of capital or is this just another alternative? Put another way, should I as an investor include these notes in my toolbox for future capital allocations?

Q: I am retired and invest in primarily blue chip, dividend paying stock. In my regular investment account I hold the following Canadian bank stocks, RY,BNS,TD.
In my RRSP I hold all my US stock which includes JPM and C. I am considering selling my Citibank stock and using the proceeds to buy more JPM.
I am thinking JPM has better upside and is generally a better run company. Any thoughts?

Q: Please give me your thoughts on the above. The first two are ETFs , and that to me means covering more than one crypto currency ? Could you elaborate on this and what they cover as an ETF ? Their mer's = 1%. What is the diff. between QBTC and QBTC.U and is there an mer on these ? If you were to buy Bitcoin in a TFSA, would it be one of these or would you recommend another one that might have lower management fees. Looking at these 4 on the stock market today, QBTC is up 2.76% while the 2 first ones are up less than 1% ? I certainly like a 2.76% daily increase ! Thanks for any info.

Q: Hi,
I noticed other questions covering the fact GSY was added to the index and that we might expect a bit of pick up and / or increased volume with it. However, it seemed to drop fairly hard on Friday and I am wondering if I've missed something material here. Interested in your thoughts and as always appreciate the input! Thanks,
Dawn
