Q: I have just read your answer to Dale (Jan 29) and would like to know if you believe DEE and Surge have "survivability" in this downward spiral of oil prices?
Thank you and your service is much appreciated.

Q: Hi:
I've held TRP since 2008 through the ups and downs of XL excitement. I am now having doubts that even if it gets approved, that it will do much for the price of the stock. I am seriously considering selling so as to buy MDA. I don't need the dividend and I am otherwise in good shape thanks to your ever splendid advice. You are the best.

Q: The 5 year yield on Canadas is 0.69%. ENB.PR B has dropped from $24.86 to $20.97 since November 17. Do you think now would be a good time to start taking positions in preferreds rather than 5 year GICs @1.25%? Or is an ENB problem causing the decline?
thanks for the ongoing quality replies. I should note that, if today was the 2017 reset, the yield would be 3.09% based on the 240 plus .69

Q: Preferred shares are a rip off, where else would you invest for a secure, modest return? Parkland common shares seems to pay a reasonable dividend with good price stability...are there any other recommendations? Thanks.

Q: Good day, I have had this European ETF for just over a year and it hasn't done very much, but is now up 5%. I assume due to the stimulus packages. It is only 2.5% of my portfolio. Should I be looking at other International diversification somewhere else, or would you keep this as part of a balanced portfolio. I do also have TD International Index - eTDB911, which also has some European and Asian exposure.

Q: I have a substantial investment in this company based on (1) it is the highest grade lithium deposit in North America, and (2) tight control of management and expenses by the Walker family of Sudbury who are spending/investing like its their own money (they do not have more than 10-20% of the equity); and they own (privately) the largest independent blasting and drilling company in Canada (and North America?--not sure). The downside is the stock is now in relatively few hands and is relatively illiquid/volatile. Please provide your view. Thank you.

Q: Looks like AGI missed its fourth quarter targets and the stock has been punished because of it. Does their 2015 guidance seem reasonable even though they have missed their quarterly target a few times? Do you think its a buy at these prices? Do you think they can turn it around or will it get worse? Thanks

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.
