Q: It's curious that Fortis seems to be thriving in December despite the market being spooked about impending interest rate hikes. None of the other utilities seem to have benefited. To what do you attribute their upward momentum and would you buy a utility today given likely interest rate hikes?

Q: All the renewable stocks other than BEP.UN are getting beaten up today. Any news that I missed. Could it be Tax loss selling since the sector is one of the few that has done poorly this year?

Q: I'm down about 15% on BIP.UN and am thinking of a tax loss sale and purchasing either NPI or BLX; and then reentering BEP in January. I currently hold CPX and AQN.

A similar question had been asked previously in June, and 5i's recommendation was either NPI or BLX. Has anything changed with these companies since June? What would be your preference for a short term hold today and why?

Many thanks!

Q: The multi voting shares trade at a ~5% premium to the subordinates, is there a coattail provision for the sub shares in the event of a takeover/privatization and how likely is this considering the family ownership?

TCL.a is in the Income portfolio at a 2.5% weight and 38% reduction from purchase price, would you consider the weight appropriate, and with an event such as a takeover would you expect a premium close to what was paid for the shares or could it possibly be a takeunder?

Q: Hello -
In a recent Q&A, your team mentioned that TRP is cheap. It currently has an approximate PE of 30X. Do you see the "E" increasing in the near future to make this ratio look more reasonable? Or from what metric do you see this stock as being inexpensive ?

I also see negative Free Cash flow for the last number of years. Is this concerning?

With growing demand for EV's going forward, how much of a negative impact will this have on ENB and TRP ? Is one slightly more vulnerable to the changeover from ICE to EV than the other?

Thanks.

Q: I'm interested in freeing up some cash in one of our RRSP accounts and, in order to do so, plan to sell one of the 3 listed companies.
Kindly advise which one you would consider disposing of first and, perhaps, a brief explanation as to why.
Thanks for the help. Richard
