Q: Hi folks, thanks for your helpful replies. I'm considering BMO's preferred share ETF, ZPR. It holds only rate reset pfds and uses a 5 year ladder. I think it would be a safe investment with a decent yield. I was poking around a few sites and came across prefinfo.com in which the following is noted about it's Malachite Aggressive Preferred Fund. "...for instance it is not required to hold such classes of shares as floating rate issues which are expected to underperform in the foreseeable future." I was of the view that the reset to a floating rate provides a mechanism to maintain the yield, provided the rate is somewhere in the range of 3% over a 5 year Canada, which is fairly common. What do you think about the reset factor as it pertains to yield and of the ZPR? Thanks Tim....

Q: Hi Peter,
My Question is about ESL's recent acquisition of Locus Holdings. The shares are up over 5% since the announcement, despite the acquisition's small size relative to ESL itself. Would now be a good time to take some profits and move over to CSU or MDF?

Mike
