Q: In my portfolio I have 15% in preferreds, thats my fixed income, 8% of that is in Great West Life GWO-R, Fortis-J, Power Financial-S,all of which are straight perpetuals. The other 7% is in CPD,Claymore Preferred. I paid $25.00 for each of these Preferreds, so am down on each one, they pay a dividend of 4.7%.
With the news of interest rates about to rise, should I sell these? Thank you and cheers to Peter!
Q: Greetings Team 5i,
With it looking like an increase in interest rates coming soon, and understanding that insurance companies appreciate higher interest rates, I would like to add to my holdings in that sector. I realize you like Sun Life SLF and I'm thinking of taking a position but I'm also interested in Fairfax Financial FFH. I would appreciate your opinion of FFH and the wisdom of taking a position in it at this time.
As always, thanks for your guidance.
Q: Ladies and Gentlemen, I see Pur took another big jump on Sept.15. It is up over $.90 in the last month. Is it too late to buy this stock?
Thank you, Al
I have a few SJR.B shares that I have held for a number of years now and am taking of switching them for Telus for growth. Do you see any problems with that?
Also for a two to three year time frame who do you think offer the best outlook for growth/returns between STN and WSP?
Thanks and good luck for the remainder of the ride.
Q: Hi Team,
I own about a half position in Carfinco and I am wondering if I should sell it on the news today or wait for the deal to run its course? There is talk that a special dividend is priced into the stock at its price this AM. of about $2.80. Any information about how these sort of situations typically play out would be appreciated.
Thanks, John
Q: I sold POT yesterday, made a decent profit and of course rec'd the dividends. I am wondering if I should deploy the capital to something you could suggest that has the safety with growth or should I wait until you offer your investment service. Do you expect that to be this month or a later time frame? Thanks again.
Q: Last night on Market Call, John Zechner was on and said that he would sell the railways, the pipelines, and the auto parts manufacturers as they were all too expensive and he didn't see any upside for them. Could I have your opinion on this, particularly with regard to Enbridge and Magna?
Q: what is your view on Atlantic powers (ATP.TO) recent strategic review...will this help turn the company around? The stock is down a ton partly due to the big dividend cut. Time to buy a few shares?
Q: Hello 5i team,
How do you explain the steady drop in share value despite a good quarterly report and a good order backlog that would suggest a good next quarter?
