Aeroplan 6.95% maturing 1/26/17. As the economy recovers and people spend and travel, there will be more revenues coming in. Fairly good yield for a not very long duration. |

Bank perpetual preferreds. Paying over 5% but if interest rates go up will the banks call these? As interest rates rise, bonds and preferreds will get hurt, especially perpetuals. Generally, the banks do not call these. |

US or Canadian corporate bonds? He would prefer to the Canadian over the US. Doesn't like the currency risk. Also, Canadian corporate balance sheets are generally in better shape. Growth prospects for Canada is probably better. |

City of Winnipeg bonds Feb 11/13 yielding 9.375%. Credit risk is pretty close to zero. Between now and 2013, it will go from $118-$100. So every year you lose approximately $6 in capital. To offset that you are getting a huge coupon. |

Bank preferred shares as an alternative to GICs? The preferreds would be a better alternative. Credit risk is slightly higher but not much. They won't always be at $.25 on the $1 so will be more volatile. You may have figured out at quite a discount depending on market conditions, |

Located in Colombia. What he has seen of the drilling so far and the veins, it's a number of narrow erratically distributed high grade mineralisation in chopped up vein structures. Not something he would own. |

Have a very interesting system but doesn't understand exactly what it is but has some very strong high-grade mineralisation. Part of a much longer trend that they are going to be hitting pretty hard this summer. As an expiration play, it's great but the valuation is pretty high. Would like it cheaper. |

Strip bond due in 2026, yield of 6.2%. 16 years is fairly long and it is a zero coupon bond which means duration is also 16. If you don't need the cash flow, it is an OK longer-term hold. |

Partnered with a Argentinean province in uranium, which has 10%. About 5% of exploration budget has to go towards improvements. Have a large area of anomalous uranium. Low-grade deposit that will be very cheap to mine. If things go well, he could see this at $2. |

4.65% maturing 10/11/17. Investment grade A. Price is $86.43 yielding 7.18%. Wants to stay away from sharp bonds because rates could rise over the next year. On the other hand, doesn't have to go out 30 years for a 6%-7% yield. |

4.83% due 2019 trading around par. Pretty stable cash flow and is rated BBB high so good from a credit perspective. 90% of revenue from Nova Scotia Power/Bangor Hydroelectric, which is pretty safe cash flow. |

(A Top Pick May 29/09. Up 30.7%.) A lot of projects in Haiti in a joint venture with Newmont (NMC-T) who is footing the bill. Because of the earthquake, the stock got hit and is just now starting to come back. |

There is a discovery in Nevada that is potentially really significant. Hit the right rocks and the right alterations in a very strong system. Wedging down and trying to expand it. Will be an expensive project. |
