Q: I have inherited share of this fund and am now being asked by BMO Investorline if I want to redeem these at their net asset value on January 30, 2018. The shares currently trade at $ 13.98. From what I can gather from First Asset the NAV is $ 14.28 on December 6. This has not been a very remunerative fund, and I am slowly switching assets to match your portfolios. Is this an opportunity for me to get out of some or all of this investment at better than market price? I am not sure how many shares the fund will redeem, but should I put all of them up for redemption?
Thank you very much for your valuable ideas and service

Q: What are the risks of in investing in ECN.PR.A? What I am alluding to is that these preferred shares have a guaranteed 6.5% return which is an extraordinary rate of return compared to other fixed income vehicles. To me, this means that ECN must be a high risk company, but from what I have researched so far it is not. Are there any other risks that I am not aware of?

Q: Cipher is improving and the stock is trending up. With that being said, Knight looks better for the long term if they ever deploy their cash hoard. I currently have a half position in Cipher where a tax loss can be harvested. Take the tax loss and top up my position in Knight while it's down?
Thanks!

Q: I've got excess cash in my RRSP, waiting to be deployed in the event of a downturn. I'm thinking of converting some of it to bonds while I wait, so as to earn a bit more than a high interest savings account can offer. I was wondering if you could recommend a few ETFs for that purpose. The ideal bond ETFs would be safe, rapidly deployable to cash, with a decent yield and likely to become more attractive investments themselves in the event of a downturn. Thanks for any suggestions. If you could add a short note about what would be the main risk to those ETFs, I'd appreciate it.

Q: Peter; Re Tamara,s question on Bitcoin today. I think you should cross reference the question under “bitcoin” as it is the best and most comprehensive explanation of it I have read. I can now pass it on to my grandchildren who might need to know exactly what it is.

Q: I have owned RNW for a couple of years now, primarily for income from its healthy dividend. Also own AQN, FTS, NPI and BEP.UN in the utilities sector. I'm still ahead on RNW by about 18% despite the recent price drop, but wonder if the stock simply has too many issues these days. This includes the suggested lack of future growth, an apparent problem in Australia, and potential issues with its parent company TA. Is it maybe time to sell?
