Q: Good Morning
Can you please tell me as to why the RATE RESET PREFERRED SHARES are being hammered since January 19, 2015 when at the same time the PERPETUAL PREFERRED SHARES ARE RISING????????????

Examples of Falling Rate Reset Preferred Shares:
VSN.PR.A down 8%
ENB.PF.C down 4.3%
PPL.PR.G down 5.4%
BRF.PR.A down 5.7%
TA.PR.H down 3.7%
SLF.PR.I down 3%

Examples of Rising Perpetual Preferred Shares:
BRF.PR.E up 3.4%
SLF.PR.D up 1%

I own several rate reset preferred shares and I will appreciate your response as to why the rate reset preferred shares are being hammered when at the same time the perpetual preferred shares are either maintaning their value or rising.
Thank you.

Q: Good morning,

Looking for your insights on a number of preferred shares that are nearing reset in the next year or so and whose prices have been driven down given the recent bank of Canada rate cut and decline in 5 year Canada's. Do you feel these declines represent a buying opportunity in these shares? Also in terms of reset options, the 5 year canada and 90 day bill rates are maybe 20 bps apart, does this make the floater rate the more logical choice, given the redcent compression/ flattening of the yield curve?

With thanks,

Thank yo for your insights.

Q: I look at PIH every few months. It is a microcap and the avg. volume is miniscule, but the valuation is reasonable and could be a takeover target I suppose. What do you think of the debt, overall quality of the management and the company's prospects? Thanks as usual for your insight.

Q: Could I get your opinion on this company? They seem to have a fixed price of $77/barrel in Argentina and some properties in Canada. The CAPEX is set for 2015. Lots of reported resources to drill up. Sounds like they have some new board additions recently. Given our low spot price for oil, how does it look to you for the next few quarters? Is it somewhat sheltered vs other energy companies by Argentine fixed price of $77/barrel?

Q: Hi Peter,
I've heard you say in the past a healthy buy signal for a company is when it announces its first dividend. In keeping with buy signal strategy, what sort of signals are the professionals looking for when they start buying oil equities? What would you consider a buy signal in the oil patch? My concern is that the non-professionals almost always are too early or too late which kills return. Thank you for your time.
