Q: Hoping you might be able to provide some insight as to why 'many' of my preferred share holdings are loosing value even when interest rates appear to be falling with expectations of a recession? Reviewing your earlier posts my understanding was Fortis is a solid company and valuations could be adversely affected with interest rates.
Truly appreciate all your great support. Ted.

Q: FITB has a preferred issue, FITBI that looks interesting to me. Is it a good fixed income alternative or is there a superior Canadian option?
Q: What do you think of debentures and do you think this is a good way to possibly hold as a proxy for ones bond side of your portfolio? How are they different from preferred stock? Do you think PBH are a good choice of company to hold them with? I have cash coming out of GIC's and am looking for a better rate now that GIC interest has gone down. Is the Div of 5.5% safe and is it considered interest or div for Canadian taxes? Is it good to get in or wait with a new issue regarding the price- do they tend to fluctuate with the market? Thanks so much.
Q: Hi- PBH has just issued a debenture paying 5.5%- would this be a decent fixed income investment for a medium risk ? How will the stock impact this?

As a clarification of my most recent question about FTN " are the preferred shares fixed" what I meant is; is the preferred shares dividend at risk of being cut ?
Thx

Q: US .42 quarterly dividend = ~ Cdn 10% yield right?

What are the cons of this investment?

Q: With regards to the rate reset spread being, as I read it , 5 yr+ 3.15 % …would that 5yr be a US Treasury or Bank of Cda bond / rate …there is a meaningful difference between the two now…I realize they pay in US$…many thanks

George Weston Limited 5.20% Preferred Shares Series III (WN.PR.C)
Q: Hi 5i
Since Loblaws redeemed there preferred shares I've been thinking of replacing them with TRI.PR.B and a Weston preferred share. What do you think of this and which Weston preferred would you buy and why? I now have a good amount of preferred shares in my portfolio in many large good US and Canadian companies. My only concern with these is there liquidity. What would be a reasonable amount of ones portfolio to put into these.
