Q: What is your favourite etf for Canadian banks? Is CPD a good way to gain exposure to them?

Q: Why is this preferred share index trading at 52 wk lows ? I believe interest rates are nearing their peak and when the numbers begin to show the recession spreading though out the economy ( rising unemployment etc.), feds may begin to ease.

Q: I own prefered share ETFs in a diversified revenue/dividend RRSP portfolio.those ETF are at loss(10-20%) and at a lowest annual stock value.I did believe that those ETF would bring a least , a certain stability,wich is obviously not the case.I shall keep those ETF if there were a reasonnable probability of returning to previous values (+10%..),and sell them if more downtrend is expected.In this perspective,your impression as "hold","sell"(or eventually "buy" !)will be greatly appreciated.
