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

Q: Owner of MX and was going to write a question on it today before reading:
"While we like momentum a lot, we view SPB as more of an income security than growth, and in our view MX is too cheap on valuation to endorse this switch. "

I recall a lot of talk on BNN etc about the oil companies as prices started to come down. Valuations were cheap and nobody thought oil was going as low as it did. Is there not some risk here that methanol prices keep going lower in the way oil did which would throw the valuation argument into question? What would it take for 5i to throw in the towel here?

Q: I have received notice that my TD.PF.B preferred shares are being reset & I have the option to convert these series 3 preferred shares to series 4 preferred shares. From my understanding of the TD.PF.B series 3 prospectus the series 3 interest rate will be fixed for the next 5 years based on the present Canadian Government 5 year bond rate plus 2.27%. While the series 4 next 5 years interest rate will be calculated every 3 months based on the Canadian Government 3 month Treasury Bill plus 2.27%. My question is, which would you choose, 1) series 3 which will have an approximate 3.8% interest rate for the next 5 years OR 2) series 4 which have the possibility of having a greater or maybe less interest rate over the next 5 years OR 3) sell the shares & purchase shares that have a better chance of future growth. I bought the preferred shares when issued at $25 per shares & am presently underwater by 10% when the 5 years of dividends received are added to today’s market prices. I do not need the dividend as income & the shares are in a registered account. Thanks … Cal
