Q: Hi,
I had PLI in my TFSA as of yesterday. I sold it at an 80% loss. Is there any one good growth company that I can replace it with that would regain my losses? It's the only stock in my TFSA and it's a small position.
Thanks

Q: I hold both IPL (1.7%) and ENG (2.2%) in my portfolio. ENB has been hit harder over the last 12 months. Do you believe it will have a better recovery than IPL and if so, would it make sense to sell IPL and add to my ENB position. They would be no tax consequences.

Q: Could you comment on the buy-out proposal at $9.79 this morning. I would have expected the price to jump up to near that level quickly, which it has not (10 am). I hold a moderate position - would you sell or wait for more movement in the stock price? Electra has already raised its bid once, so this might be it.
Thank-you

Q: I understand that there are concerns about the Corus business model, going forward. However, its current price (around $5.80) seems extremely low considering its P/E and its dividend, even assuming a reduction in the dividend. Is it currently undervalued and worth a shot now or would it be wiser to wait until after the quarterly on April 5 to see if it's really in the tank? Essentially, do you think it truly is only a six dollar company or maybe not even that?
Thanks!

Q: A few questions if I may:

1. I gather that Preferreds are becoming increasingly rare and that they are concentrated in financial stocks. Is that also true in the U.S.?
2. Is there a site that lists or focuses on Canadian Preferred shares, or similar in the U.S.?
3. In a gradually increasing interest rate environment I assume it then follows that Preferred share prices would be under downward pressure?

Thank you!

Q: Hello,

It seems the market continues to be uninterested in the oil sector. If you were management in the oil sector, would you focus on production growth, yield, debt repayment, share repurchases, or something entirely different in an effort to increase shareholder value?

Regards,

Robert

Q: Peter and team,

In the current environment do you prefer rate reset or perpetual preferreds or is it better to own both for diversification? Which specific issues do you like in each category (high quality )
( I tried to send a related question a couple of minutes ago. Just delete it if received as I believe it never made it.)

Thanks

Paul
