Q: KP Tissue has been on a steady decline, despite a very attractive dividend. It seems more than a plain vanilla reaction to rising interest rates, as the dividend should be providing support. Is there anything "lurking" in the background that might be spooking investors?

Q: I've decided to begin building an income portfolio and have chosen the companies listed above. (Mostly from your Income Portfolio). I am retired but my pension income covers my monthly expenses. I'm looking for companies that you believe are strong enough to maintain, and hopefully increase), dividends in the long run. I understand we are in a climate of interest rate increases and income stocks could suffer as a result so I'm wondering if I should wait to begin building this portfolio. My intention is to round out the portfolio by adding companies from your balanced portfolio. My questions are:
1. Can you suggest a strategy that you consider to be wiser as I begin to develop my new portfolio?
2. Do you consider the companies I have chosen to be the best choices for a new portfolio considering all current investment metrics? Could you suggest any I have missed?
Thank-you for your continued support.

Q: Hello 5i
With your previous comments about TV, missed on other metrics, do you see this lower price as a buying opportunity or does it have a chance of breaching another support level at 1.23 to 1.25?
Looking to buy/add given the amount in portfolio has decreased with the price decline.

From a small cap perspective, given current market and business environment, would you choose to add to another name before adding to TV?

Thanks
Dave

Q: With high debt being a concern for all companies, I thought today's news was reasonably positive but it appears that the market disagrees. As always, I would appreciate your analysis.

Tricon Capital Group Inc. (TCN-T) says it has an agreement to sell the portfolio of 14 manufactured housing communities, including its Tricon Lifestyle Communities investment vertical to an institutional investor. "The sale of our TLC manufactured housing communities portfolio represents the next meaningful step along our stated plan to simplify Tricon's business," said Gary Berman, CEO of Tricon Capital. "We intend to use the net proceeds largely to pay down our corporate credit facility, reducing our overall debt level and creating additional flexibility for future investments. Going forward, we will focus our growth efforts on our core investment verticals, where we have a clear path to scale, leadership and attractive long-term returns."

Q: I am moving many of my fixed income investments from bond funds to preferred shares with a minimum guaranteed rate (yes I know the dividends are not guaranteed). I am trying to decide between TRP.PR.J and TRP.PR.K. Currently J yields 5.22% while K yields 4.73%. It appears J is the better choice. Do you agree? When would K be preferred if at all?
