Q: I recently sold ENB.PR.V which trades in the TSX . It is a USD pref that pays its dividend in USD. My question: do you have a list of USD denominated prefs that trade on the TSX? ( not including ENB issues)
As an aside to any body else with these sort of holdings in a taxable account: Be mindful of the T-5s these things generate. It is easy to miss the USD part, and enter( or download as of recent) the data into your software as CAD$. I did that, and CRA was not happy.
Thanks as always for your interesting perspective.
Tim

Q: I own 245 shares of REF.UN that I have held in a brokerage account for some time. They recommend that I sell for $50.00 now, and they would only charge 1/2 the commission. I understand that if the deal goes through I can take the option to sell at $53.75 with no charges. In your expert opinion, what are the chances of the deal falling through? If this happens the shares would likely fall back to the $42.00 range.
I do not want the CHP.UN shares, but I would like to sell all of the REF.UN shares.
I am wondering if the broker just wants her commission. PLease give me your expert opinion. Sell now or wait?

Q: Hi,
I had PLI in my TFSA as of yesterday. I sold it at an 80% loss. Is there any one good growth company that I can replace it with that would regain my losses? It's the only stock in my TFSA and it's a small position.
Thanks

Q: I hold both IPL (1.7%) and ENG (2.2%) in my portfolio. ENB has been hit harder over the last 12 months. Do you believe it will have a better recovery than IPL and if so, would it make sense to sell IPL and add to my ENB position. They would be no tax consequences.
