Q: Recently read an article in Globeinvestor entitled "It's time to check out the dazzling yields of Canada's big bank preferred shares" a recent offering from them pays a dividend of 5.5% and after 5 years is reset to 4.8% over the 5 year Canadian bond rate. My question is what would the symbol be or how could I purchase this,I trade online and that's the vehicle I would like to purchase them through,appreciate your answer ..thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
My daughter turns 18 next month and we will open a TFSA in her name. Please offer a strategy for us to consider. Her timeline is very long-term, and the focus is growth. Maybe a mix of low-cost ETF's and a few stocks; and a stock like AAPL that appeals to the younger generation and will keep her interested in following the markets and economy. THX.

Q: Hi Peter and team:
Could you comment on the merits of STB? It has a great yield, but a high payout ratio, and there have been issues with the balance sheet. Thanks for your advice.

Q: Interesting article in the Globe this morning, suggesting to consider the newly issued preferreds with 5.5% + yield, some with 4-4.8% reset rate. Also, that buying individual preferred is a better choice than the ZPR. Can you suggest some of your choices please.

Q: Based on your recommendation a few weeks ago I purchased SPB, AYA and CUS.
AYA is now down 26%, SPB up 2% and CUS up .8%. Should we still hold these stocks or sell them? Will you be advising your members when to sell these stocks.
Thanks

Q: Peter et al.

What do you make of their earnings results released today? Did they beat estimates? They showed a loss in earnings due to acquisition charges. Was this expected? EBIDTA was good from what I see ($120M). Revenue was good as well as far as I can see. Is this still a long term hold?

Regards,


Brendan

Q: Peter; Would this ETF be buying the " new" bank issued preferreds.

Plus re the " egg on your face" comment I would ask David to watch BNN Market Call guests explain their Past Picks , some down 25-75 %. If every stock 5i picked went up they would be under investigation !
Keep up the good work . Publish if you wish.

Q: In a question asked by Steve on Mar. 21, there was the mention of "subscription receipts". What are they? Do they benefit the Advisor selling them more than the investor? I recall a former Advisor phoning me and offering them to me.

Q: MY earlier question today concerning GSY was perhaps not clearly stated. My concern based on your previous & positive commentary was whether the very illiquid daily trading was a warning sign. In other words notwithstanding it's last financial statements, are there any new adverse or negative happenings within this company that you are aware of? Thank you.

Q: The market doesn't seem to like the secondary offering to Milesouth today and the gradual liquidation of mile south's position. What do you think will be the longer term impact of this offering/liquidation? Is this offering dilutive or is it just increasing the float? Why is the share price reacting so negatively?
