Q: Hi Team,
Do preferred shares generally follow the common shares [up or down] or are preferred shares more influenced by other factors such as interest rates?
As an example, I own FTS.PR.J - if the common shares of Fortis [FTS] keeps working its way back up to say $35.00, will my preferred come back to $25?

Q: While I understand that you really like Stantec(STN), the market has been driving the shares down recently. Because your report on Stantec is somewhat dated could you please provide an analysis on the company in terms of earnings per share for the next 1-2 years, revenue growth, share valuation relative to historical trends, etc. What future catalysts do you see as influencing future share prices. Is there potential for the shares to continue downward to the $54 area where they were trading last October. At that price, they would be trading at about 15 times this year's expected earnings. What is a reasonable valuation for the company shares? As a secondary question how often do you anticipate updating company reports? Thanks.

Q: Another TFSA VS RiF question: I take out the mandated % of my RiF. Does it make sense to take out even more and invest those dollars inside our TFSA's because of the no tax on TFSA withdrawals? Or even take out RSP funds from my wife's account and invest those inside her TFSA?
My logic is - for example SGY - I expect it to grow and provide a nice dividend in the years ahead neither of which would be taxed when/if I withdraw those $ from one of our TFSA's.
Thank you. (What a difference 5i is making the lives of so many people!)

Q: Hello Peter et al....What do you think about oil and gas companies...such as TBE, RPL, AFT.UN, SGL, TDG, WCP that bill themselves as: Sustainable Dividend Income with Moderate Growth Companies? Their yield varies between 4 and 8%. They look like the former income trusts except they seem to be extracting the product from lands where the minerals rights are owned privately rather than by the Crown. I would appreciate your views on such firms. Are they worth further attention? Can they withstand a downturn in commodity prices?

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: The market appears to be punishing Argonaut (AR), for its most recently reported results, with new 52-week lows. The other gold companies that I view as potential holdings are all up substantially from their lows and gold is up over $100 an ounce from its bottom (though all have retreated some from their most recent peaks). I’m very light on golds and looking to start taking my weighting up with a basket of 4 or 5 holdings. What do you think of adding some AR at the current level? Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I am looking at putting 500 a month into a TFSA discount brokerage account. Do you have any suggestions? Should I invest 500 a month or wait til I have a couple thousand? And do you have any suggestions for good dividend/equity growers?

Thanks so much for answering my question,
Terri.

Q: Trading/ Strategy Question: With the sizeable pullbacks today for CSU, AVO, ESL, HNL and BAD, would you see this as an opportunity to increase my position in any of these stocks, all of which are already owned - some at higher prices, others at lower prices. All are owned becuase of long term potential and are expected to be long term holds.
