Q: Thinking of including at least two of these in the fixed income portion of our portfolio. Do any carry any 'yellow' flags? All seem to DRIP, at least througfh my broker. Could one just weigh them based on current yield? Appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks, Bill

Q: In anticipation of continuing 'interesting' times, I am considering moving some WN.PR.A over to my TFSA. Since I am in my late eighties I consider this more of a fixed incme investment and less a consumer staple. Given the number of years the issue has exited, I am uncertain as to current redemption. I would appreciate relevant tho'ts. Thanks for all ideas that the team has provided over he past decade+. Bill

Q: I have been seeing a gradual price loss with some of the example preferred stocks I hold shown above.
With the continuing disaster going on in Ukraine and its inflationary impact, should I expect this to further reduce valuations for these types of investments as interest rates rise?

Q: Have held NWC for a few years as one my major consumer staple holdings. Am now wanting to deploy more resources to this sector and want an opinion on this (WN.PR.A) perpetual preferred issue - similar type of sector and I would think limited volatility (March notwithstanding). With very low interest rates, is there a major concern of redemption? Thanks for your help and support, Bill
