Q: I currently hold TD Bank series 12 preferred shares (TD.PF.G) and they are coming up to a five year anniversary upon which they can be voluntarily converted to series 13 preferreds. The series 12 have an initial 5.5% payout and their first reset is another 5 years down the road at the 5 year Government of Canada rate + 4.66%. The series 13 preferreds have a floating quarterly rate of the 90 day T-Bill + 4.66%. With interest rates likely to rise would you recommend exercising the conversion privilege? Also, would you happen to know the trading symbol for the series 13 preferreds?

Q: Hello Peter,
What is your view on the earnings for both MP materials and neo performance in the rare earth space? Also, why did MP materials take such a big hit today (more than 15 percent). Is it a good time to add to MP as this might be short lived? Thanks very much.

Q: Hi,
Maybe not the forum, where I need to ask about this.

Salaries/income has stayed flat over the past couple of years....the real estate prices have increased SUBSTANTIALY.

How long can this party last? The disconnect between income and house prices is just growing and growing.....infinitum .

Here is my Question.
How long can the near zero rates continue ? If this monetary policy is making the real estate sector and the stock market boom, then should the Govt not continue this zero interest rate policy FOR EVER ? I am not good at finance/economics, could you please explain, why would any Govt. ever increase rates, if low rates generate growth ?

Q: What are your thoughts on this income fund, I’ve held it for over a year and see its the price has been climbing this year, up from a price in the low $10.00 range last year.
It provides a very healthy yield (+10%) and was a Gordon Pape suggestion over a year ago at this price level. Is it a good steady fund to own for income in one’s RRSP?

Thnx

Q: Hi Peter,

Would you put new money into this ETF ARKK following the recent sell-off? This ETF has >22% in three companies ; TSLA, SQ and ROKU all of which are quite volatile names so this ETF could go either way depending on the market, right? Looking for growth, medium to high risk, 5-10 years hold.

Thanks in advance.
