Q: I would appreciate your comments on this stock as it pays a 10.2% US dividend, has traded in a narrow band. Is this a high risk or low risk stock and how viable is this dividend?

Q: I would appreciate your comments about the very old and sleepy closed-end fund United Corporations Ltd (UNC), which trades well below its NAV. In particular, how safe would UNC.PR.C be as a long-term source of steady income? I recognize that the preferreds are quite illiquid and hence one would want to hold them for the long term.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Q: Could you perhaps give me any information regarding this US fund. Its a very small portion of my portfolio. It has made great returns for me since it goobled up a previous fund I was in, in 2017. The dividend is 16.81%. The stock drops of course every time it pays out. Two things I notice as potential trouble. In 2012 it did a 1/4 split? And how problematic are rising interest rate environment for this fund. Thanks......many thanks your information has made me very happy.

Q: I have a large holding of WFS.PR.A. I have done reasonably well on it, with 5.25% return on capital distribution and a stable price, it was much better than any other fixed income I held.
Here is my dilemma, I have to either redeem it now or hold until 2025. Expecting interest rate to go up, I am not sure it will hold its value. My thinking is to redeem it now and perhaps buy it later at a lower price, or just move to other investment. I know this decision is mine, but I highly value your opinion on what you think my best option would be.
Thanks

Q: Could you provide your thoughts on FAH as a long term investment? What should I know? Eg what are your thoughts on the advisory fees and the voting domination by Fairfax? They seem to think book value per share is a key performance metric, is that the number you would focus on?

Q: Hi .... What's your take on Brookfield special opportunities BSO-UN.TO? Is it turning a corner? I think revenues have doubled in last 12months...nice dividend! Looks like the company has been in a decline for a few years but just recently started changing direction. Is this a troubled business with a turn around story that's just getting started?

Q: Do you have any info on this stock? Dietz had it as a top pick on Friday.
Q: You stated earlier, in 2017, that BSO has a low payout ratio. However its most recent financial statement over 2017 stated that its 60 cents dividend was 100 per cent return of capital. Are we getting a high dividend here to be punished with a capital loss? Should we stay away from BSO? Hard to know what is happening with its NAV at the moment.
Q: Hello I5 team, In your Q&A list regarding BK, your Aug 10/16 answer says you do not like BK's leveraged structure. What is leveraged about BK's structure?
Thankyou.....JC

Q: Hi!
Any thoughts on the drifting performance of this closed end fund? I know the manager is an old associate of Peter's and my perception of the fund is that it would perform better than other similar funds likely in weaker parts of a market cycle?

Q: This fund will be terminated on April 30, 2018 and delisted from trading on April 26, 2018. Assets will then be sold to and distributed to unitholders. Can you guess whether you think it will more advantageous to wait for distribution or sell into the market assuming your cost is above trading price and above NAV.
