Q: I own ZWB. When interest rates rise, I suspect that individual high quality rate reset preferreds will have a greater increase in price than ZWB. What do you think? If you agree, please provide the name of a few rate resets with the 5 year renewing base rate. Thanks.

Q: I bought Home Capital before it ran into trouble with some of the lenders. I hung on and then I got a notice about a Dutch auction. How is that different from a company just buying it's own shares on the open market? Do you see a benefit to this auction? I read that Home Capital will soon have insured lending. Could these two events move the stock out of the dump?

Q: Hi guys, in a previous answer today you stated that gud is worth a 5% holding within a portfolio, what about pli? I have them both equal inside my portfolio (balance), should I lighten up on pli and drop down to a 3% and bump up gud to 7% ?
Thanks

Q: I have sold a holiday home in the US and have $150,000 that I want to keep in US funds until later in the year when I think the exchange rate will be better to change to CDN. Can you recommend an ETF or other reasonably safe way to get some dividends on these funds for 6 to 8 months

Q: Prior to subscribing to 5I, I bought Jan 2018 call options in TWTR. At the time I figured that they had a large user base with a lot of ad potential, particularly with Periscope. I bought 2 year options knowing that tech moves fast and hoping that would give the company lots of time to turn things around.

Now, having read many of your reports, I feel that I'm a more educated investor and probably wouldn't buy this type of company again. In particular, your reports have helped me to appreciate the negative effects of share dilution which is a big problem for TWTR.

Today's earnings don't look good.

Is there any hope for this stock? I'm not afraid to take a loss and move on if that's the best thing to do.

Q: DH just released its 2016 Q1 results. It looks good to me but nowadays companies are evaluated on a quarter by quarter basis against the mysterious "expectations" by the market, which seldom care about anything long term. Good results are not necessarily rewarded with pops in share price, but bad results will definitely be punished.

With that said, how do you interpret the DH first quarter? I'm somewhat disappointed that there is no dividend increase since it's been set at $0.32 for a long time. Thanks.
