Q: For those who are looking to park money for short term I suggest that they look at ffn.pr.a or ftn.pr.a they are redeemable in about 9 months and a year and 9 month. Has very good downside market protection of about 30% and over 5% dividend which is better than interest. Their prices have been very stable with about 1% fluctiation. Cannot explain why they are popular with investers. I personally own large amou t of both.

Q: Hi 5i,
I looked on the MSI web site and it looks like they do not offer Career Management Services (ie job loss displacement servces). Can you confirm this please?
This service seems to be offered by PEO. Can you also confirm this please?
In my opinion, this is a key service to have if there is a significant downturn in our economy and there is a great deal of job loss. Can you suggest any CDN listed stocks which may provide this service?
thanks

Q: I have accounts with Wood Gundy and Investors Edge, so consequently had a mishmash of preferred share holdings. In an effort to build a better yielding, laddered, preferred share portion of my portfolio, I sold all current preferred positions and am planning a ladder with the above noted shares in a non-registered account. These will constitute about 20% of my total portfolio. Do you have any concerns with the choices, or rate resets in general ? I rate resets have not performed well, but the yields are quite attractive.
Q: My broker got me into Roots in the summer. I've got significant losses in taxable accounts. Is there any point in hanging on to this one or would it be better to take the loss and move on to something more promising?
Q: What am I missing here? KWH sold for $8.80 a unit. That has not settled yet. The dividend record date has passed. It is trading today 0.18 below buy price. Why so low to that unit value?

Q: How do I invest in fewer ETF's and still get returns
Q: Good morning gang. NVDA is on the rise again. Assuming my weight is not too high would this be a good time to buy more? I'm hoping it will go to its highs within 6 months.
Much thanks
Much thanks
Q: With an cost base of around $15.00 I have a large tax bill if I sell my position in this company. However PBH seems to have lost momentum and has a low dividend now, so I would like to sell and move to something else. The tax bite means of course I have less to re-invest. To sell or not? Any advice ? Investor paralysis I guess. Thanks, Ron
Q: would you buy CSW for income only these days. Seems to be struggling a bit and yet i thought this would be more of a defensive name - certainly is a cash cow!!!

Q: Outside of the investing world, I very much believe in the ideas behind both of these ETF's, but would like to hear your evaluation of them as investments for a long-term hold. Thanks.
Q: what does 5i think of this company
Q: Good Morning: I asked this question a couple of days ago but perhaps it got lost somehow. I hold two different PPL preferred shares and rec'd a few days ago an invitation re both of these to vote on whether or not I am in favour of the decision to sell more shares in each. I have to assume the purpose is to raise more capital even though the original no. of shares was probably capped. I confess that I have no idea whether as a current holder this is a positive, negative or neutral prospect. I'm hoping you can shed some light on what's at stake here for me and how I should therefore vote. The prefs in question are ppl. pr. c and ppl. pr.e. Thanks, Don
Q: What Health Care sector Equites would you recommend, looking for dividend and growth.
Q: ZHY: high yield bond fund. Sitting on a fair bit of cash in RIF & RRSP from accumulated dividends. Don't want to deploy into buying more shares (dividend growers) as I think there may be a buying opportunity in the near future: uncertain economy and interest rate policy. Mild recession - rates the same or may go down, and if no recession rates may go up again at some point. Each scenario will have an opposite effect of the price of this ETF. Best case please.
