Q: Hi 5i Team,
Can I get your opinion of BAM.PR.M? It's now paying an attractive 5.92% yield, and I am thinking of adding it to my income-oriented portfolio. What is the rating on this preferred share? Are there any business issues to be concerned about?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Greetings, Team:

A commentator on BNN said that he was shocked that the jury in Texas took only one hour to decide the technically complicated WIN/Apple case. I suspect that the jury fell for the argument that the bottom-feeding CANADIAN company was attacking the glorious AMERICAN company. Any thoughts and is it likely to happen again?
