Q: I'm down around 20% on these preferreds in less than a year. Will the price ever recover? Hang on to them or bail out. They represent 5% of total portfolio.

Q: We are seeking income (although capital retention is also important) and wonder if we would be wise to sell IPL which you don't seem big on and replace it with BPY.UN which you seem to like. The sector is not too important as the portfolio has a good balance of pipelines and REIT's. Both companies mentioned have a very good yield.

Q: Hi Team, I'm doing some portfolio clean up and am looking to sell some losers...of the stocks listed, which ones would you sell first in order first to last. Also, could you give me recommendations for where to put the money back to work for the top 3 sells?

Q: I own a substantial amount of Cumulative Redeemable FIXED RATE Reset First Preference Series M Cumulative shares, which I purchased for the initial price of $25.00 per share. I also purchased additional shares at a later date for around $20.00

The Series M shares can be converted into series N Cumulative Redeemable FLOATING RATE First Preference Shares on December 1. 2019 My question is:
Since today's value of the series M shares is around $16.60, What will be the price of the new Series N Shares? Does that mean an instant gain (RECOVERY) of $8.40 (to $25.00) after conversion to the series N shares or how does that work? Do you have any suggestions about how to act at the given time, including what to choose? Do I stay with my FIXED RATE shares, do I convert to the FLOATING RATE shares or what?
Thank you for your prompt and valued reply.

Q: I, with a 10 year mandated hold, had planned to purchase IPL based on its dividend, depressed price and the potential of its polypropylene project. However your commentary on the company has caused me to reconsider. Would you please give me your preferred 'total-return' stocks in the pipeline/processing sector and the downside to IPL as a long term hold?
With appreciation
Ed

Q: Hey, I would like to compare the relationships between short position on these two companies? From this question board the short on Bad in March 2018 was about 7.8 million shares. What is Bad's current short position? Bad share value today has increased dramatically. Eif share price has shown a substantial increase YTD and is at about a two years high. What is the short on Eif today?
I realize the only thing in common they have beside being heavily shorted is they both pay a dividend and have also been bashed by God's gift to all things Canadian, who has been wrong on so many of his calls. He has now taken to pumping stocks. Thanks for all your support eh. Regards
