Q: I have read that if Canada bans Huawei ( I think they may have to) from 5g that the telecoms , Rogers to a lesser degree will have a 1 billion hit as they will have to remove the equipment they have already installed. Now the time for the crystal ball.

If that were to happen , it is a one time hit, probably some tax write offs etc would the market react violently negative.
I own a lot of bce.

Q: One would think that if there won't be NEW pipelines built for the foreseeable future (thanks Trudeau!), then one could conclude that existing pipeline companies would be more valuable...the old supply vs demand argument => positive for the existing pipeline companies. Then one would muse about where would their future growth come from=> negative. However, I seem to remember that TRP has BILLIONs of approved projects in the cue => positive for TRP. Your thoughts on the pipeline companies in general and specifically on TRP. I have a 2/3 position and am considering topping it up. Thanks...Steve

Q: I have held MFT for under a year, purchased for fixed income outside of a bond fund. Currently down a bit over 1% not counting distributions, which is obviously pretty good in todays' market, but the drop does have me questioning where it might be going. What would you expect the fund price to do in the each of the following situations:
1) rates continue to go up, even if at a slower rate
2) rates stabilize
3) rates go down
Also, how would the distribution be affected in each scenario above and what is the approximate lag time?
Because of the mix of products in the fund, do you think it will act more as a bond fund or an equity fund to market gyrations?

Thank-you

Q: What to do with cpd and Ecn.pr.a .
I’ve held reset prefs before, saw it through through the downturn in interest rates and the upturn again, did well, because I had a long term objective.
I now no longer have this luxury. However I feel some comfort with the minimum rate reset preferred. Should I. I appreciate your unbiased recommendation on both securities.
Thank you.
P.s. will be asking for a complete portfolio evaluation in the new year. Paid of course.
