Q: Would you please help me understand how the preferred share TD.PF.B resets it’s new interest rate later this year. The prospectus states that the new interest rate will be equal to sum of the Government of Canada Yield on the Fixed Rate Calculation Date plus 2.27%. My two questions are 1) What is the present Government of Canada Yield as mentioned in the prospectus to be found on the Bloomberg Screen GCAN5YR page, and 2) What is the Fixed Rate Calculation date? Is it July 31 2019 as mentioned in various parts of the prospectus. Thanks ... Cal
Q: I hold the above. Is it true that institutional investors are not very active In the preferred market? If this is true then why should retail investors hold these investments, especially given the expeience .of the last few years with the reset disaster?
Q: Ecn's preferred shares, ECN.PR.A, are down $5.00 or so since their issue last year, pay over 8% & their issuer ECN seems to be doing well. Is this quite a risky investment with a dividend of 8% percent for someone seeking yield? Is it fear of rising interest causing the drop or is there a problem with ECN that I'm unaware of? Thanks as always for your sage advice.

Q: Hello. Happy New Year
I own several preferred shares issued by different companies... ENB(reset), FTS(fixed), FFH(reset), TRP(reset). I bought them many years ago and have some loss. Since they're all outside my RRSP and TFS, I'm thinking to sell all, replace them with new preferred shares issued by another companies and then claim a capital loss. Do you think it is a good idea?
Questions:
1) What preferred shares do you suggest I should buy, fixed reset, perpetual?
2) Which companies preferred shares are ok to buy?
Thanks

Q: I am looking to purchase some prefer shares because the prefer shares price down quite a bit in some cases. I compared two prefer shares offered by the same company "BrookField Asset Management Inc". BAM.PF.D , current price $21.10 yield 5.81% vs. BAM.PF.I current price $25.58 yield 4.63%. Both have the same face value of $25, why priced so differently on the market, are their risks different? So in general, how to pickup a prefer share from others?
Thanks,
Thanks,
Q: I purchased 300 shares of ENB.PR.V on TSX @$21.25 but Itrade charged me $29.24 USD, on inquiring with them, they told me this PR would only be purchased in USD. I understand dividend is paid in USD . How could I tell when I purchased them (for future) since quotation was in Canadian dollars? Lots of Canadian companies pay a dividend in USD

Q: I initially purchased these preferred shares when they were yielding over 7% for income in my RRSP. Today they are yielding over 9% as the price has fallen considerably. Normally I would be concerned with an investment yielding 9%, but ECN.PR.A have a minimum dividend (6.5% for $25 face value). Do I have reason to be concerned or do you see this as a buying opportunity especially since they have the minimum dividend guarantee (as long as the dividend is being paid)?
Q: Would you be able to list a number of convertible debentures from’safe’ companies and at reasonable rates?

Q: Seasons greeting to the 5i team. I hold the C series preferred shares of ECN. Like many others my cost for this rate reset preferred is much higher. I understand the company has the option to redeem these shares at a specific price at different times in the future. I am wondering if at some point in the future (if held until then) the company is obligated to buy them back at par value? In other words as a shareholder can I force the company to take them back at some point and receive the $25 par value? Thanks.
Mario.
