Q: After going down for a couple of years , the price seems to be roughly flat the past year or so. Is it just the inflation rate that makes the share price more or less appealing to investors or do interest rates affect it too? What would you expect in the next couple of years if inflation stays flat and interest rates drop?

Q: Clarification, with respect to your answer re the guess for the next rate on these Debs. The way I understand it is as follows

The rate is calculated via 6.5 Pus or minus the rate of change in inflation, not the rate of inflation. Thus is the change of roi is 2% next march the interest rate on the debs would be 6,5-2=4.5

From csu ir news release:
This new interest rate is equal to the annual average percentage change in the “All-items Consumer Price Index” published by Statistics Canada during the 12 month period ending on December 31,

Q: Hello 5i team,

I recently subscribed and bought a significant qty of CSU debentures @ the strike price of 133.
With the Canadian economy perhaps going into a recession? and rate cuts, how would you project the price to behave over one year? The percentage drop in price is more than the yield. Can one expect a total return of 8% for the next year? Would you suggest a sell and deploy in stocks?
Appreciate your analysis on the subject.
Regards
Rajiv
