Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Peter and staff;
Just adding my compliments to Mikes comment. It is so nice to be able to see each separate account and holdings. Is 5i big enough to monetize yet- I’m sure you could sell enough IPO
shares just from the happy members.

Q: My ques. is about Co. Equity Financings and in particular related to small cap stocks raising additional capital for expansion or operating costs. Often these financings include both a share and a warrant. Typically there is a 4 month hold period before trading is allowed. There may also be Broker shares and warrants issued as well. My question is whether all of these shares and warrants issued under the financing (including the Broker's) are subject to the same 4 month hold period? Can some parts of the same financing be exempt from the 4 month hold, while other parts are not and why? Lastly, what may be the exceptions to the 4 month hold requirement for any Co. doing additional financing? Thank you.

Q: As a follow up to my earlier question about Preferred shares as a form of income. I currently hold about 53% of my portfolio in savings account funds only giving me 1.5% dividend which is low, however as you mentioned the price will not drop so it is safe and also very liquid. I was thinking about taking 1/4 of that money (12% of my total portfolio) and putting it is some preferred share because the dividends are much higher. I do not plan to utilize this amount of funds for a while and it would give me a bit of extra return on my money. I currently have about 8% in common shares of banks, 8% in XLB, 12% in gold stocks, 12% in technology stocks, the rest in other various stocks not in those groups. I use the Savings Account mutual funds as cash for when I decide to buy stocks and I have been increasing my holdings slowly since the March lows. Would it be better just to buy the common dividend paying stock or is there an advantage to buying the preferred. I know the preferred share have a higher hierarchy if a company goes bankrupt but they are very much more illiquid.

Thanks again,

Brendan
