Q: I need income. I'm bullish on oil. I'm trying to decide between encc & nrgi. Nrgi holds mostly US stocks which could be a tax problem. I don't mind giving up some upside for a covered call strategy.

Maybe a combination of both?

Thank you.

Q: I have an unregistered account with about 12 CDN blue chip stocks. The purpose of the account is to generate dividend income for the next several decades, while providing slow and steady capital growth.

I have taken the decision to exit ENB, LIF, NTR and TCL.A and to increase holdings in AQN, NPI, PMO205, XTR.

I know timing will never be perfect, but just looking for some timing guidance due to current market conditions and cyclicality of some of these stocks.

Trying to avoid horrible hindsight commentry: that was OBVIOUSLY a poor time to make that change....

Q: Hello, could you provide some guidance around NPI. Seems investors did not like the 2023 guidance provided by the company on Feb 3, 2023. Was the guidance that bad? Adjusted EBITDA dropped from around 1.3 to 1.25 billion while the adjusted free cash flow dropped from $1.85-2.05 to $1.70 to 1.90. Price is close to a 2.5 year low. Thoughts going forward. Thanks.

Q: After NPI put out its guidance for 2023, the stock dropped 3% on Friday and set a new low for the year. I checked analysts estimates for 2023 and found an average drop in earnings of near 30% and a forward p/e of 21. Is that your estimate for 2023? And, if it is, how is it that the same analysts give it a consensus rating of buy to strong buy? Do you consider NPI a buy at its current price.

Q: Hi, I am building a dividend portfolio as the income producing component of my overall portfolio. I have allocated sufficient percentages to the Financial and Energy sector as well as to larger stable dividend payers. I am looking to add a couple of higher yield options in other sectors. Can you please provide your top 3-5 high yield picks for me to go do further research on.

Thank you!

Q: Hello Peter & Team

I hold a full position + 25% (ENB) in my TFSA because of the Dividend and a comfortable feeling of capital integrity/safety. In your recent report you cite the DEBT/EBIDTA ratio runs at about 4.7% for ENB where net debt-to-EBITDA ratios of less than 3 are considered acceptable.

Is something I should be concerned about? Would you recommend holding fast with this position? (really like the dividend) And lastly, is there anything you would recommend (all things considered) in place of ENB?

Thanks for all you do

Q: Gas is out of favour right now, and I need to raise some funds. Earlier today I sold ARX, at roughly a 20% loss. After I did that, I thought I should ask for your insight into selling TOU. My first question is when are they due to report their quarterly report. Secondly, I understand they have contracts to sell gas on the Gulf Coast. Will this insulate them enough. Do you feel the present price is taking this into consideration or is it over sold?
