Q: I cannot fathom why investors would buy rate reset preferreds when the resets will virtually all significantly lower their current dividend. The MINIMUM rate resets, to my mind, are the only preferreds to buy and there are many good companies paying between 5 3/4% and 7% and this rate will not drop. Additionally, if and when rates increase they could be paying an even higher dividend. No one seems to ask about minimum rate resets! Am I missing something?
Thanks

Q: Hello 5i team,

I am looking to add both of these "out of favor" stocks in my non-registered account, weighing whether these are current value plays that are candidates for growth over the long term. I have been following their general trend for several weeks looking for an opportunity for a reasonable entry point. Over the last two trading days in July, both stocks have dropped more than the general market and their respective sectors.

What factors does the 5i team attribute to these very short term drops? Do these factors indicate further drop is likely in the short term?

What factors do you consider worthy of weighing? In your opinion what would be a good point to patiently await to own both of these stocks?

Thanks for your opinion!

Q: Hi 5i Team - Could you please provide an update on the fundamentals of Questor. In particular its cash balance, debt level, insider ownership and recent activity, cash flow, P/E as well as anticipated P/E, and anything else you think is relevant. Also your opinion on its growth prospects and do you think these growth prospects rely completely on the future of the energy sector. Do you think Questor has the ability to outlast a sustained energy downturn. I ask this as an existing shareholder considering selling part of my position (at a substantial loss) and allocating the money somewhere else. Your research and advice has always been very helpful and greatly appreciated! Thanks.

They seem to have good technology but the stock price languishes.
