Q: Hi 5i:
A previous question asked by Joseph today about the newly issued Series 21 Preferred Shares. I have that issue and it is currently listed as PPL.PF.A with my Scotia iTrade account. Hope this helps.
A previous question asked by Roy today, you listed PPL.PR.U as a minimum preferred to consider. That symbol I cannot find. Do you know what issue you are referring to?
Thanks so much.

Q: I currently hold these 3 in a us tfsa among a few others, and im looking to add to one of the 3 listed. BA recently announced 20% dividend increase and 18b buyback program, which seems very positive. NVDA also seem like a good time to add with recent pull back to sub 200s with no fundamental change. Then V is just doing what its been doing for years and years with slow and steady climb. Which would you preferred to add to and why?

Q: The Globe Investor has the target price on PBH as $106.50 based on analysts polled by Zacks Investment Research (6 month time horizon, updated daily). On BNN yesterday, the caller asked for the street consensus target, which was $116.50. Pretty large difference = $10. Is it simply the 6 month target price vs a 12 month target price? Thanks...Steve

Q: Gents (time to add a Lady?) Would this be a reasonable addition to a balanced rrsp portfolio for a bit of aggressive yield at these depressed levels - could you quantify the return of capital that would reduce cost base ie if held for say 2 years and the share price stays flat what erosion in share value would an investor who sells at that point incur - thank you - Ken

Q: There is consistent insider buying in CBL but it seems to be pretty much limited, at least very recently, to two parties: Joseph Lewis and Braslyn Ltd. Do you know if Braslyn is controlled by Lewis (the purchases seem to mirror each other)?
Is there anything to infer from this other than a positive outlook from at least one insider?

Q: Good morning, if one was to look for international oil and gas exposure, other than through a Canadian listed company like VET, would you prefer a service company like SLB, or a large integrated like XOM, CVX, BP, or RDS. Although you don't follow these, is there anything that you particularly like? Thanks!
