Q: There has been a fair bit of insider buying lately with this company. Thoughts as to if this might be a good time to add to one's holdings?

Q: Hi Peter
I own this floating Rate Preferred share issue which pays out a dividend which is based on 70% of the prime rate, it has taken a significant hit to say the least.
Recently it was downgraded to pfd-3 (high) i imagine because of debt risk,i hope this doesn't translate into Junk.
Could you comment on this Preferred share rating and the risk associated with it.
Thanks Gord

Q: I would like to wish the team all of the very best during the holiday season. I hope you will have a well-deserved rest and relaxation and renewal. As no one could have predicted the fall in oil, i like many others have suffered loses. Happily many gains, too! So, I have difficulty understanding some people's complaints on here from time to time. That is the market! I don't believe that there is a comparable service to yours which offers so much for so little. I don't believe there is any other place where you can even ask questions like this and get an intelligent answer so quickly. I find it an amazing service. And I know many others do to. But, onto the question: I am planning to sell sgy for tax loss selling and was wondering whether you thought Whitecap might be a suitable replacement?

Q: I am wondering what your reaction is to the proposed 4 rate increases for 2016 and 4 more for 2017. My impression was that the rate increases would come much more slowly. Was this your expectation and what the effects would be on the US and Canadian economy and equity markets.
Many thanks
Mike

Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
My question is more relating to the discipline of trimming and adding to positions. My one account follows the Balanced Equity Portfolio very very closely. CSU, CCL, and SJ have held up very well of late (Thank you) which of course means they now represent 7.25%, 7.2%, and 6.75% of the total account value respectively. Should I trim these outperformers now and top up some of the laggards like CXI, BNS, AYA, etc. or allow the market to steady up a bit after all the tax loss selling, FED noise, etc. has abated and then reassess the situation ?? Thank you for your sage advice. DL

Q: Hello,

Is the dividend (19.96% as per TD) sustainable? I got hammered on WIN looking for a stable dividend, do you think the same scenario can happen with TS? Would you initiate a position here?

Thanks

Q: Hello,

I think the news today is not a good one for those who still hold the stock.
I have it in a registered account so selling for tax purposes is not an option, down 84%. Do you have any replacement recommendation?

Thanks
