Q: Although MIC is exhibiting good momentum, today's Globe is showing that short sale in MIC represents 22% of the float. Do you think this is a bearish signal or this will support the price due to expected short covering. Would you consider MIC, buy, hold sell? What rating would you give it? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter - Regarding the issuance of corporation shares by BIP.UN to existing units holders, will this be like a stock dividend or will it have the effect of a stock split? If it is like a stock split, my understanding is that the unit price of the original .un units will drop by 0.11% when the new corporation shares are issued and begin trading. Is this correct? Many thanks

Q: Disregarding anything else, do u think investing in these three companies would be too concentrated or is there at least some diversication there, thanks?

Q: We have a few blue-chip, all well underwater, reset preferreds. I'm ok with that for these reasons. One is no need to sell for some time. Two is the dividends are much better than GIC income, which is my comparable for our preferreds. Three is my anticipation that these (more tax-efficient) dividends will still much better (than GIC interest) even if rates drop even further if they don't get recalled, ie because the dividend amounts over the next five years will all be a function of the original $25 share value. Q1: Is that anticipation correct? Q2: I'm still fuzzy on roughly how the market price will compare with what it is today (under a no-recall scenario) if the 5-year anniversary is tomorrow or, put another way, will our market price should we need to sell probably still be underwater until interest rates start back up? Thank you!

Q: Yesterday I asked for a recommendation for US fixed income and you suggested tlt. I have to say that I don’t have a good understanding of fixed income. So I was wondering if you could tell me why this particular etf is your choice in this environment? I suppose I am asking for a course on fixed income, a large request. So, if there is some resource you could direct me to, that would be fine.
Thanks

Q: With the recent run up in EIF's share price, I've made a solid profit.
I'm now considering selling either half or all of my EIF shares and purchasing partial positions in both MX and NTR. I feel the latter two companies currently represent good value and could be considered "safer" than EIF. I have a 3-5 year time horizon.
Kindly provide your opinion
