Q: I have already asked a question about this security. Thanks very much for your answer regarding the payments being interest and not dividends.
I just can't understand this security. It is an inflation linked bond with a maturity date in 2040. The new year's interest rate has been announced as 13.3% based on the 100 bond price. The current face value has declined over the last week even though the interest rate has gone up by just over 2% per year. The current rate on face value of 137 is 9.7%.
I know about the thin trading volume and the potential for Constellation to redeem the bond with 5 years notice.
What am I missing?? Is there a good reason not to put a fair chunk of fixed income destined money into this debenture?
Thanks as always for your insight!!

Q: In reference to Paul's question yesterday. That ZWU from 2017 to 2021 of that nice dividend 1/2 to 1/3 was a return of my own capital, Considering that, I'm surprised that 5I has recommended ZWU. What I thought was a very nice dividend is not. Now I'm wondering how many other covered call stocks are doing the same? The underlying stocks don't give a return of capital, right. Next I'm going to find out there is no Santa.

Q: I am looking to add to one or both of BN and BAM. Do you have a preference on one or the other. I know that one is growth oriented and one is income oriented but are their present valuations similar - is one priced better than the other. Thanks.

Q: Hi, will the new BAM and BN only pay out dividend income and not any other type of income like ROC or interest etc as the other Brookfield entities have over the years. I will buy them in a cash account and don’t want the record keeping hassle the other entities are known for. Also, any idea what the yield on BAM might be? Lastly, do you think this is the final BN spinoff? Many thanks for the incredible service you provide.

Q: Hi, I’m curious and very intrigued as to how an AQN takeover might happen. Could it be bought whole and if so who has the resources to pull this off? I’m thinking Brookfield/ BEPC or perhaps another Private Equity company like KKR? Or could it be sold off in parts perhaps renewables to a NPI or Brookfield and the Power Gen/Transmission/Water to a Fortis? Thanks in advance.
