Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: I have been a longtime owner (10+ years) of PSI and ARX which are held in my RRSP. Their performance over that time has been ok but not stellar.I am considering selling one or both and replacing them with IPL,VET, or KWH.UN. I am more interested in income with reasonable growth at this point in time. Thanks, Joe

Q: Just read the answer to the Nov 2017 notes offering. Just want to make sure I'm doing the math correctly. I read they are paying 1004.25/1000 which is only 100.425/100, so basically no premium. If I hold to maturity in 9 months it's 7.5% - 0.425 = 7.06% return. If I tender the offer it's 3 months interest of about 1.88% + 0.425 = 2.3% + interest made on a new investment. I would need to make 4.76% in 9 months (so a bond paying 6.3% annualy) to break even. I understand the risk and that the fixed income part is supposed to be the safe part of the portfolio, but is it really that big of a risk that Athabasca Oil will be bankrupt in 9 months and not be able to pay the principal back?
