Q: I own a number of higher investment grade perpetual preferreds. They all took a dive in December, but since then my Westcoast and Royal Bank preferreds have risen back to over their $25 issue price. However, my GWO, PWF and even Intact financial preferreds have not. They are all of good credit quality. What do you think accounts for this disparity? I may buy more of the losers.

Q: When it comes to how liquid a stock or ETF is on a daily basis, what would you suggest is the minimum amount trading you would like to see if you were to buy?. I have a couple of different accounts that I use different strategies and one of my thoughts is if you had a sizeable position in and etf or stock that trades under 10k or 100k a day would this not be of great risk if a person needed to get out of it in a timely fashion due to market conditions or personal need? Some examples of securities I am looking at or own are PBH, XTR, XTC, VFV. I am well diversified with my investments and typically look to buy and hold just wanting some input on this topic. Thanks keep up the great work

Q: In response to the question about GICs through TD Waterhouse. Under the research tab, click on GICs. That will bring up a list of those available. from TDW. You can't buy them online yourself though. There's a number you can call to order them.( The rates are not quite as good as those directly through the issuer.)
