Q: I have received notice that my TD.PF.B preferred shares are being reset & I have the option to convert these series 3 preferred shares to series 4 preferred shares. From my understanding of the TD.PF.B series 3 prospectus the series 3 interest rate will be fixed for the next 5 years based on the present Canadian Government 5 year bond rate plus 2.27%. While the series 4 next 5 years interest rate will be calculated every 3 months based on the Canadian Government 3 month Treasury Bill plus 2.27%. My question is, which would you choose, 1) series 3 which will have an approximate 3.8% interest rate for the next 5 years OR 2) series 4 which have the possibility of having a greater or maybe less interest rate over the next 5 years OR 3) sell the shares & purchase shares that have a better chance of future growth. I bought the preferred shares when issued at $25 per shares & am presently underwater by 10% when the 5 years of dividends received are added to today’s market prices. I do not need the dividend as income & the shares are in a registered account. Thanks … Cal

Q: I have a 2% position in NTR looking over time to bump that up. Wondering about its almost 10% drop recently and with earnings release coming up, does somebody know something the rest of us do not? Would you buy now or wait for quarterly? I'm a buy and hold mid-to-large cap income investor.

Q: These 4 equities are my top 4 poor performers with a 50-57% unrealized loss. CFP is a 1% position, TSGI is 2%, WCP is 0.5%, COV also 0.5%. I am debating going to a half position on TSGI and pick up AQN. Or maybe dump TSGI all together. I'm not sure what to do with the rest to try and regain some losses here. That said, it seems COV and TSGI have potential as a long term holding but for me it would be to recover losses. Anything you guys can recommend? Thanks
