Q: Hi 5i Team
I'm considering inserting a materials sector in portfolio as I am suspecting they are undervalued. Looking at 5 stocks for 1.5% each. 1 each for Gold, Silver, Copper, Steel and Agriculture. Would the 5 names submitted be the best in your opinion or would you change any. Looking for reasonable safety and growth.
Thanks. Gilles

Q: I currently hold TD Bank series 12 preferred shares (TD.PF.G) and they are coming up to a five year anniversary upon which they can be voluntarily converted to series 13 preferreds. The series 12 have an initial 5.5% payout and their first reset is another 5 years down the road at the 5 year Government of Canada rate + 4.66%. The series 13 preferreds have a floating quarterly rate of the 90 day T-Bill + 4.66%. With interest rates likely to rise would you recommend exercising the conversion privilege? Also, would you happen to know the trading symbol for the series 13 preferreds?

Q: Hi,
Maybe not the forum, where I need to ask about this.

Salaries/income has stayed flat over the past couple of years....the real estate prices have increased SUBSTANTIALY.

How long can this party last? The disconnect between income and house prices is just growing and growing.....infinitum .

Here is my Question.
How long can the near zero rates continue ? If this monetary policy is making the real estate sector and the stock market boom, then should the Govt not continue this zero interest rate policy FOR EVER ? I am not good at finance/economics, could you please explain, why would any Govt. ever increase rates, if low rates generate growth ?

Q: What are your thoughts on this income fund, I’ve held it for over a year and see its the price has been climbing this year, up from a price in the low $10.00 range last year.
It provides a very healthy yield (+10%) and was a Gordon Pape suggestion over a year ago at this price level. Is it a good steady fund to own for income in one’s RRSP?

Thnx
