Q: Hello 5i,

The turnaround that began in early November on many preferred stocks already seems to be reversing on some of them and heading back towards their lows. Is there a logical reason for this? (My question concerns perpetual preferreds, here are some examples - MFC.PR.C or FTS.PR.F)

Any information is welcome.

Thank you

Q: In my investing account, Telus is rated a sell based on 4 analyst sells, 6 holds, and 1 buy. I just read your comparison with BCE, and it seems to me that while you prefer BCE, you hardly regard Telus as a sell. I hold both and was planning to continue. Would you see any objection? (I'm retired)

Q: Hello Peter,

After Fed Powell's update today, is it reasonable to push the pedal for a Santa rally into the new year? If so, what sectors in the US would you look at? Would you look at anything in Canada at all? Any stock suggestions for a 'rational exuberance' would be most welcome.
Looking forward to your perspective.

Regards

Rajiv

Q: Gentlemen:
I owned shares of of ret and did some tax loss selling. I can now buy back, however, I am not sure if I should bother to buy back this company. Donville, Kent, who Peter had made mention of their small cap report, and remarked that it was interesting believes that it is an iconic Canadian Brand, and with some changes believes it could be a five bagger. Please give a detailed report with reasons.
Thanks,
BEN.
