Q: Hi, Trp is down 5% on announcement it is raising its estimate for the cost of its Coastal GasLink project to $14.5 billion, up from an earlier estimate of $11.2 billion. I believe this is the second cost increase on this project. Will Trp have to eat these increases or be able to eventually recover them from customers? Do you believe with the current price decline and yielding around 6.5% Trp is a decent buy for income investors?

Q: Good Morning,
I am under water with both isv and et and would like your opinion on their growth profile for the coming year. Also is there any possibility that they might increase their dividends this year? Do you think that et might give a special dividend this year?
Also, I am considering investing in gei. What do you think of this company?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Hello 5i Team,
I'm looking to add another dividend name to my son's portfolio (10+ years timeframe) and am trying to decide between GWO and POW. Both have similar yields. I always thought GWO was the "jewel in the crown" of the POW empire, yet some money managers tend to believe it's best to own the parent company than the subsidiaries. I'm not particularly interested in exposure to IG financial, which would be included in POW. How would you compare these two companies in terms of balance sheet strength, growth, dividend growth and overall safety? Which one would you buy?
Much appreciated,
Brian

Q: I hold shares of FSZ in My RRIF account. It has not been a good performer but pays a nice dividend which is what I want in my RRIF account. I am thinking of selling FSZ and buying Enbridge. The dividend is not as high but is the growth potential going to make up the difference. I do own PPL. What are the chances of a takeover of FSZ. Would you approve of the swap and is there any other companies you might recommend.

Q: Looking at adding to a smallish position in Stelco, but recently saw an analyst recommend Champion Iron. I view Champion as similar to Stelco, being a high volatility business dependent on the pricing environment (iron ore/steel) of their product. I like STLC's large share buybacks, dividends, solid balance sheet and very cheap p/e multiple. With a major recession looking less likely, which do you prefer and why?

Q: I am a dividend growth investor and I’m running out of patience with Rogers who hasn’t increased its dividend in over 3 yrs. It appears that Rogers takeover of Shaw is almost certain at this point. This takeover will cost Rogers 20 billion and likely add significant debt to their balance sheet. Do you see Rogers increasing its dividend anytime soon or ever again? I’m considering selling my Rogers shares for a small profit and using the proceeds to increase my Telus holdings and was curious as to your thoughts on this move. Really appreciate the great service that you provide.
