Q: Any comments about the recent ENB rate reset preferred issue....it seems to have a very favourable floor reset rate although the spread off 5 year Canada's does seem a little rich.
In addition, any new comments ZPR

Q: Following your debate on Bitcoin stocks, I've done quite well and doubling on a few that I would NOT have known off except for following your esteemed Q & A. Now I'm trying to decide on GBTC, which I had bought @ $925 and sold half @ 1,826. I still have a few and am debating whether to sell before the CME Futures open on Sunday or wait. Nothing much happened when the CBOT did the same last Sunday. I'll make my own decision, but much value your insights.
Thanks as always!

Q: I tend to stay away from holdings that trade on US exchanges to avoid dealing with the withholding/reporting foreign tax rules. My portfolio needs an ETF with global exposure (mostly non-NA) Since there seems to be no good Canadian equivalent to VXUS, what type of trading account would you suggest to buy this ETF with the least/simplest amount of tax implication. Would the RRSP be completely exempt? Thanks.

Q: I find the trading on the stock peculiar. After the quick run up, the stock is settling back down to pre-announcement levels. If they are potentially in play and an acquisition value may be $12-14, shouldn't it be trading a bit higher/stronger.

Or is it that their news release wasn't so strongly worded...

Q: Very frustrated that management talked up this big deal that was to go through in December only to have them tell everyone they were pulling out. What kind of top-notch management team would talk up a pending deal for months to then tell everyone they are not going through with it. To me this is a sign of a very amateurish management team and that is worrying. They should have waited to have the deal finalized then announce it as opposed to talking it up for months then deliver nothing. It gave everyone false expectations so of course price now is tanking based on their inability to bring a deal forward that they promised would happen.

Will there be anything now to get price up? It seems that NAV of 4.40 is of no interest to the market so I am worried that this company has very little going for it now but I could be wrong so would like your take on things.
Thank you.

Q: Good Evening
I am thinking of buying a Granite REIT bond yielding 3.5% and maturing in 2023. The credit rating is BBB.
I will appreciate any comments about this REIT and whether it is safe to invest. Alternatively would you recommend any other fixed income security yielding 3.5% and above for about 6 years.
Thank you
