Q: Hello 5i,
I have read through all the related q&a's and just wanted to ask this:

The conversion is slated for Jan. 1, 2020 and it seems likely to pass the shareholders vote in early December. Their press release mentions the change to a stock company will bring improved liquidity, more shareholders, more global investors (institutional) and it removes the limits on foreign ownership. These are all positives (sounds much like an IPO).
It seems fine to start a new position in it now, as opposed to waiting until after the transaction is completed. If it's going into a reg'd account, there's no tax issues with the conversion; and 1 unit now will equal 1 new share. So a fella can buy it now, correct?

Q: I noticed Cara Operations has been buying shares of these units, they do look cheap right now with a nice div or payout. Has Cara always been a holder of these units and could they be doing a creeping takeover of them? What are your thoughts on the units as part of an income portfolio of 15 to 20 stocks?
thanks Tom

Q: At around $7 it looks as tho FRU is heading for its IPO price almost 20 years ago, and PSK is not much better. the question seems to be - is this an indicator of future oil price and its value to the economy? Both these equities used to be considered relatively stable and possessing underlying value, current and future. Is this no longer true?
