Q: What do you think if their Rate reset Pref shares on offer today? I may not be able to buy it anyways if this doesn't get your attention soon! Perhaps you can answer about Rate resets in general under the current post Trump environment, especially if he wants Janet Yellen out!
Q: Dear Peter
On October 17th.I cash out all my power balanced portfolio (13 stocks total 400 k.) to avoid stock crash if Trump wins US election.
Now US election is over ,Trump won and stock market did not crush on contrary it looks like stock is going up and up.
Because I want to replace my previously sold portfolio positions please tell me if you would do it now or would you wait for another month or two to buy previously sold portfolio positions.
I was happy with my portfolio which was pretty close to 5i Balance Portfolio and I'm not planning to change any thing in it.

Q: PPL and others in the utility pipeline space have taken a major haircut in the last few days for no reason at all. Is the threat of a Fed rate increase really to blame?

What is your take on this? Thanks.
