Q: I read the questions recently about EFN.PR.C. Can you explain to me about Element's Preferred shares? The symbols EFN.PR.A, EFN.PR.C, and EFN.PR.E? They are trading below their issue price, and now yield 6.9%, 7.1%, and 7.2% respectively. They reset in a few years. What does this mean? Does it mean they reset the quarterly payout, and how is the new payout determined? Is there a significant risk they would substantially reduce the dividend? Would you consider them a good buy right now, and if so, which series would you suggest? Thanks for your help.
