Q: Do you like this security for a 10% forward yield and eligible for dividend tax credit? I understand it has recently reset to pay $0.15 per month ($1.80 annually). Only in February 2022 it was paying $.05 per month explained by the rapid increase in BOC rates. Is this a financial problem for BCE? I believe it is redeemable by BCE at $25.

Q: I’m looking at your recent comments that SIS still has good long term prospects in spite of their new issue to pay off debts. Having looked at their 7% drop I was thinking about adding to my position, but I see it is still selling at 25x earnings!
Do you think this price is justified? And would you expect there to be more price volatility up or down in the near future, ie meriting holding on for more price correction?

Q: Just curious if you can enlighten me on the liquidity/risk of individual preferred shares? Are they liquid and what would you be looking for at this stage of the interest rate cycle. They seem to be beaten down pretty good, and the yields are compelling. Also, would you do perpetual fixed or floater/resets and why? thanks
