Q: hello 5i:
Like some other asking recent questions on the above: I've held this as I've seen it as a very low risk, high dividend, preferred. As it's no longer held (for all intents and purposes), do you have suggestions for something to replace it, possibly in the consumer staple category, though not necessary.. Other preferreds are already owned in companies like Enbridge, Fortis, etc.
thanks

Q: Hello 5i,

Is L.PR. B an interesting buy for the income with a rate of 6.50% or is it better to wait for it to continue sliding downwards for a while longer.
In the current interest rate environment, what rate of return could help halt its descent. There are preferreds that reach 7 or 8% yield, depending of course on their category, the credit quality of the company, the sector...

Any information is welcome.

Thank

Q: Hi 5i
Each of these stocks represent between 2-3 1/2 % of my
portfolio.
Thinking of boosting some up to between 4 1/2 to 5%.
None are at a loss.
Any thoughts of an order to do this?
Thx
Gerry

Q: Hi 5i,
I currently own CHP.UN and L.PR.B. I would like your opinion, is there value in selling CHP.UN and buying WN,PR.D to strengthen my portfolio or should i just buy more L.PR.B. I looked but don't really understand the relationships here.

Q: Hi Peter,

On January 10, you were asked a question about Loblaw Preferred Stock (L.PR.B). I really appreciated the relevance of your comments (a net benefit of being a 5i member) and bought it for the income. My question is, do you know of any other perpetual preferred shares that meet the same definition as what you stated (of all the preferred shares out there like this: (Of all the preferreds out there, this would be in our 'no need to worry' category, easily).

Thank you

Q: Peter,

Is SEDAR the only sure fire source for call dates on pref shares? I find the company's own website does not always make it clear. I find L.Pr.B a bit of an oddity. It is yielding 5% with a call date of June 2024 from what I can see. Most p/s are now yielding less than 5%. Is this with this issue because of the duration of time to call?

Thank you

Paul
