Q: I own convertible debentures shares and many of them have been redeemed before their maturity date in the past few years . The most recent case is DII.DB.U which is being redeemed 5 months before maturity. Why do companies do this? Are they saving that much that is in their best interests not to pay the outstanding interest amount for the remainder of the period to maturity?

Q: Hi. I still hold some Tucows after selling some at a much higher price (thankful to have taken your advice about trimming when become too large a position). More news today that the market doesn’t seem to like. This seems to be a pattern. Wondering if it’s time to unload the rest or whether you think that there are still good prospects here

Q: I know in the past you have tried to keep your cash allocation down to a minimum. The Income portfolio is now at 10.9%. Any plans to top up current holdings or to add new positions? Or is the current cash allocation being created on purpose?

Thanks...Steve

Q: The switch in telecom providers to Verison from T-mobile is creating quite the impact this morning on the share price. However, is this not a good thing? Management appeared upset about the relationship with T Mobile. I assume there will be costs in generating the switch to the new telecom provider, but I can’t seem to quantify a 14% move to the downside as justifiable when Ting is only a small part of the business...
