Q: I am moving many of my fixed income investments from bond funds to preferred shares with a minimum guaranteed rate (yes I know the dividends are not guaranteed). I am trying to decide between TRP.PR.J and TRP.PR.K. Currently J yields 5.22% while K yields 4.73%. It appears J is the better choice. Do you agree? When would K be preferred if at all?

Q: Peter and team

Thanks to member Walter, I have looked at a website that lists the U.S. preferred shares that trade on an American exchange. I realize that while U.S. stocks are not your focus are there any preferred shares that trade on an American exchange that you would recommend for an income investor? Are these p/s any more complicated than ones issued by Canadian companies ? I believe there are some companies on the TSX that have issued preferred shares that pay in U.S. $ and still are eligible for the Dividend Tax Credit. Are you familiar with any of these names?

Thanks

Paul

Q: With your answer to a Q on ENB as time being on the buyers side I put a low ball bid in for some shares. Could you give me a list of 'safe' stocks (i.e. like ENB and not KWH.UN for example) with great yields that one could put stink bids on? I will assume in your answer that putting ENB over ENF(e.g.) indicates preference of the safer investment vehicle.

TIA

Q: Hi team !
I have been holding pjp-n for almost 3 years and it just keep going down.
I am about 24% in the red. I hold in my TFSA and it is 14% of that account.
Any hope for this ETF to recover soon ? Or would you advise to take my lost and invest in something else with a good growth potential ? I already hold SIS-T
Thanks for your help

Q: Can you tell how much cash the company will hold after the loans are restructured based on the latest F/S and the latest press release. I have looked at both but don’t understand all the terms they use.

The second part of my question relates to cash flow . It seems to me if they don’t buy anything else they could easily repay the term loans before 2025 . It looks to me that they throw off approx $50m per month prior to interest pmts.
Thanks
