Q: Good evening
A recent article in the Financial Times identified the simple ETF portfolio as having 3 equal components - global value ETF, global momentum ETF and a global small-cap ETF. The author provided statistical support. Please advise which ETFs [global or US] you would recommend for each one.
Thanks

Q: Hi Guys.

I have a question about Rate Reset preferred shares. Where do you think the cutoff point is for a company not to extend their preferred share?

The call will affect my yield to maturity calculation.

As examples, TD Bank has a preferred share with a reset of GOC 5 year plus 1.68% (TD.PR.Y) and another at 4.66% (TD.PF.G). I would assume TD won’t call the 1.68% and will call the 4.66% at maturity.

I will ask the same question in the forums under “preferred shares” to get additional opinions from any member wanting to help another member.

Thanks for your insight.
John

Q: Hi there,

The last week has had a mass sell of in stocks - particularly the tech sector - do you think this is another dip and then the bull market will be back to the races? Or is there going to be a long term downward correction? I know no one knows the actual answer but in your opinion and with your experience and expertise, what are your thoughts?

Thanks!

Q: The preferreds of various insurance companies are getting whacked with numerous issues hitting yearly lows on Friday, including some not connected with the Mosten lawsuit such as GWO. As a holder of several investment grade issues of these companies it is difficult for me to quantify how large the potential liability could be. Does 5i have any sense of this?
