Q: Hi Everyone!! Peter, I always enjoy your article in the National Post. In this past one” Five things I wish I knew when I started out”…. You mentioned as one of your points , that companies that don’t need any money at all are the best investments . Could you please list a few Canadian and US companies that are in that situation?
Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Exchange Income seems to continue to be a favorite of yours. I would like to invest in the company but fear I lack the confidence to hold on to it in a major market downturn. I would appreciate it if would explain why you believe the company is strong enough to continue to do comparatively well in a major economic pull back.

Q: Previous question to 5i: What will be the effect on TC Energy if Coastal GasLink project price increases bya further $1.2B?
Previous 5i answer: "he noted increase would be about +10% to the current estimates. At this point, we think investors are expecting the worst and we doubt the share impact on such news would be too dramatic, perhaps 3% to 4% down."

What does 5i mean pls by "he noted increase would be about +10% to the current estimates"?

Thank you. Ron L

Q: Do you know the reason that BIPC and BIP.un have been heading in different directions since the beginning of February. I thought that they were supposed to mimic each other. I own BIP.un for the yield in a tax sheltered account but maybe I should switch. Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Q: When I checked my investment accounts today I was surprised to learn all my Shaw shares were sold. I don't recall being informed in advance that this would happen. Is this normal, not to notify, just do it.

Thank you.

Q: I've held this for years, thinking it is not high risk, produces a good dividend, has no speculative money in the price, and that good news is not priced in. However the stock relentlessly goes down. Does it still have much downside risk? If not the dividend alone justifies keeping it.

Q: I am looking at our future LNG prospects and intend on increasing my positions in TOU, ARX and BIR. Can you firstly comment on this strategy for a long term play and secondly evaluate each company on its merits. Is there a company that would be a better choice.
Please deduct as many questions as you determine,

Q: I am low in the utility sector. Is this a good time to buy? Could you please provide 4 names and rate them them in order of preference and why. Would prefer US or international exposure though Canadian is fine as well. Thank you.

Q: I recently purchased the above preferred shares of 'Brookfield Properties', I believe a subsidiary held privately (51%?) by BN. I was intrigued by the generous 10.5% yield. Most of the these shares are owned by the 'who's who' in Canadian investment. Can you elucidate on their 'commercial real estate' risks that everyone is concerned about generally? Is the yield a factor of this general fear of commercial real estate, or is there a more specific risk in this company? Or, is it simply a factor of low volume? I am also somewhat attracted to the many 'mortgage reits' in the US, many showing 15% =/- yields. Can you speak towards these types of investments as well please.
Thanks

Q: Not a surprise: I am seeing news media reporters with income portfolios cutting Algonquin after their recent drop and dividend cut. It is also noteworthy that it has rallied.
Realizing that it apparently made some leadership decisions that weren’t ideal, its cash flow due rate increases was flagged as a major reason for the dividend cut.
Do you see that this continues to justify this drop or should it hopefully rectify itself when rates stabilize or drop again?
