Q: I am a "teach me to fish", not "give me fish" kind of person, so I was wondering if there is a simple method of determining the US portion of revenue of a Canadian stock. Going through financial statements don't seem to help. Your service seems to be able to determine this, so I was wondering if you could share your source of this information. Thanks for your great service.

Q: What was the transaction announced yesterday ?

Q: Assuming the RY.PR.H rate reset preferred resets today I have made the following new interest rate calculation;
The new interest rate is the GCAN5YR interest rate plus 2.26%. Today the GCAN5YR is 1.368% so 1.368 plus 2.26 equals 3.628%. This is below the initial 5 year interest rate of 3.9%. I calculate the actual Fixed Rate Calculation Date is August 24, 2019 minus 30 days is July 25 2019, which is only a month & a half away. At that time the GCAN5YR rate will probably be the same as today. Would you please confirm that my new interest rate calculation is correct. Today the RY.PR.H on the TSX is trading at a yield of 5.5%. If my calculations are correct, is the price falling because no one wants to own this preferred when the new lower interest rate is determined. Would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks .. Cal

Q: Greetings Team,

I am headed into retirement and own both these funds in both my registered and non-registered accounts. Don't really have a need for capital appreciation - just steady income. What max % would you recommend on each of the funds. Overall which would you say has the highest risk profile of the two - MFT has the higher fixed income assets but given they use leverage to increase the return. just want to make sure i completely understand the risks in owning each.

Q: Hello, my question is about CVD, CBO, CPD and XHY. I know you like these ETFs for income, and most of them are in the Income Portfolio. When one looks at their 5-year chart, one can see a downward trend for all of them. What will it take to change that to an upward trend? Would you invest in these ETFs today? Regarding XHY, the Fact Sheet says “Exposure to a broad range of U.S. high yield, non-investment grade corporate bonds, based on market-value weighting”, does the low quality of these bonds bother you? Thanks, Gervais
