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?

I see on your coverage summary that you have CCL listed as basic materials, however TSX lists it as consumer cyclical. Can you confirm which category it falls into? Could it be somewhat industrial as well?

Q: Good morning,
I would like to invest in a Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC)for my TFSA or RESP but do not know whether it would be preferable to invest in a publicly traded MIC such as Atrium Mortgage Investment Corp(AI), Timbercreek(TMC), TREZ (TZZ) or in a non publicly traded MIC such as Magenta, etc where the $$$ are pooled invested in different types of mortgages and where the interest collected is 100% distributed as interest to the investors after management fee? Thank you
