Q: LIF announced:
"TORONTO, May 28, 2021 /CNW/ - Labrador Iron Ore Royalty Corporation (the "Corporation") announced that Iron Ore Company of Canada ("IOC") has declared a dividend payable on June 25, 2021. The Corporation's portion is U.S. $60,400,000 or about CDN. $73.0 million"
This is over a dollar per share by itself (their last "quarterly" dividend), and doesn't account for royalties. Yet there is no announcement of their new "quarterly" dividend, or a date for same. Is there any further information besides this? ... and is this not a bit odd for them not to be able to make some decision in this regard, given that they had committed to a quarterly dividend? Perhaps you could suggest a reason(s) for this "delay"?
Thanks!

Q: I need to add fixed income to my portfolio. I do not believe the inflation we are heading for will be transitory. Given that assumption, are there ETF's you can suggest that will react best to inflation? And how would they do with the inevitable higher interest rates? Thank you.

Q: In answer to a buy/hold/sell inquiry you answered "We would give it a higher risk HOLD rating right now. "
What exactly does this mean?
Is there a point at which a higher risk hold becomes a lower risk hold and then a buy?
What should I read anything into the fact that the hold was capitalized?
How many categories of hold are there?

Q: About 25% of my portfolio is in cash, enough for 5 years of cash needs. The problem is that it earns only 0.2%. Now I am thinking of putting this cash in 5 or more high quality Bond ETFs. Is this a right move? If so, could you give few names? Thanks.

Q: I perceive a change in Bitcoin/crypto sentiment - El Salvador, other LatAm countries, now India is changing it's tune......
Rather than own cryptocurrencies outright, I'm looking for more torque on their appreciation. Would you consider either of these companies to be a good way to leverage any appreciation of the underlying cryptocurrencies? I understand this is a double-edge sword.

Q: A question on PPL, specifically regarding the potential for it having to tap the debt markets, possibly in a very material way, given its ambition to close on IPL, build out LNG growth with its plans announced yesterday, and its rumoured desire to bring TMX in-house as well. Could they actually achieve this - financially - from the base where they sit today? Would it be wise to take a position in this ambitious set of (possible) plans, or would the debt simply be too much for the rating agencies to like, and therefore be an overhang on the stock?

Appreciate your views very much...
