Q: Hello 5i,
I've held finning for a long time and recently sold it and wish to replace with byd.un.
I think I read that byd.un raised financing in may 2017. Does that mean it will NOT need to raise more to close its' recent purchase?
If byd does need more financing:
Who would do this deal? Who did the financing for byd in the past?
Where would you expect the share price to adjust on the announcement of such a deal (provide a typical range or 5is best guess based on past deals)
Would more debt suppress the share price for the next 12 months?
In a volitile market would byd bonds be worth holding ?
Many thanks

Q: Good morning
I purchased TD preferred rate reset shares TD.PF.G at $25 par in the IPO just over a year ago. The shares now trade at about $27. The initial dividend was set at 5.5% until April 30 2021 at which date either the shares will be redeemed at par or the dividend reset at the 5 year Bank of Canada rate plus 4.66%. The renewal rate seems to be quite high so I suspect the shares will be redeemed in 2021. If that is the case, the yield to maturity is approximately 3.1%, so I am considering selling and moving on. Is this analysis flawed?

Q: Hello Your A rating and recent report on Cineplex using the word "Monopoly" got me interested in the Sector. Would purchasing shares in AMC Entertainment be worse, equal to, or better than buying Cineplex given the lower valuation of AMC and scale that AMC has? ceteris paribus on the dividends and exchange risk aside. Thanks very much

Q: Good morning,
Your answer to a previous question regarding ala.r indicates that the dividends are not dividends but interest income. Please confirm if they are taxed as dividends or interest. I hold in a cash account.
If subscription receipts are sold before conversion would that be considered a capital gain/loss? When is the expected date for the conversion to common shares.
Thanks

Q: Could you pls. provide your current thinking about the Canadian pipeline and related services sector?
Which companies would be in your top 3 and how would you rate today's buying opportunity? My historical context is that PE's are lofty and yields were low but are improving as sector stock values decline. At what point would your top choices be a compelling buy as a long term hold for the income oriented investor?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: I hold the above in a RIF and have weighted to cover the required withdrawal amount with dividends. Does this sound appropriate and if not, would appreciate your thoughts. Do you see a major loss of principal if markets continue its downward trend. Thanks for all your help.

Q: I'm considering buying Surge Energy on the recent weakness. What are your thought? I like the dividend. But, what are the prospects for recovery on stronger oil prices? Is there a company you think presents a better opportunity at today's prices?
