Investment Q&A

Q: Can you explain to me how Option 2 is supposed to work for the IPL takeover. Option 2 is 0.25 shares of BIPC subject to proration. In the Aug. 20 group, 90% of the IPL shares were converted to BIPC for those who chose Option 2. What happens to the remaining 10%? Are they paid the equivalent of 0.25 of a BIPC, or $20/share or ?? Since I received only $18.68 for my 10% I am thinking that I did not get 0.25 BIPC equivalent. Thanks. Feel free to answer privately if you prefer.

Q: I am confused and frustrated about the stock price movement as between BIPC and BIP.UN. Today BIPC is down approximately 1.67% while BIP.UN is up 0.60%.

BIPC recently hit a high of $100 and is now down approximately 23% from such high. Meanwhile BIP.UN is almost at its 52-week high.

I want to buy BIPC because I want to avoid the hassels preparing by tax return that BIP.UN and limited partnership brings along with it (mainly the delay of receiving the tax form from Brookfield).

My question: How do I know I am buying BIPC today at a market equivalent price to BIP.UN ? I want to avoid buying BIPC just to have it further correct while BIP.UN remains the same or increases.

The "efficiency" of the stock market is clearly lacking here and also with all the Brookfield limited partnerships vs. corporation stock variations.

Thanks,
Thomas

Q: Is there any fundamental difference (other than the structure) between the two? BIP.UN is almost at all time highs while BIPC drooped 22% in a few weeks.

Thanks

Q: can you compare them for income stability

Q: Good Morning,
Why BIPC is going down so much in the last few days? Thank you!

Q: Which stock of these three do you prefer and what order would you put them in.

Q: I need in increase my portfolio weightings in Consumer Cyclical and Utilities. I currently hold AQN, BIP.UN and FTS in Utilities in roughly equal amounts and hold QSR and LNF for Consumer Cyclical with QSR double the holding of LNF. Should I add to my current positions to increase my weighting in both sectors or consider adding new stocks?

Q: I am looking to sell half of my shares in TRP can you name two stocks that would have more upside in this space.

Q: What metric(s) would you be looking at to determine if ENB's dividend is in danger? Can you please explain.

Q: Is this a good stock to be held in a TFSA account. On the RBC Direct investment account it's listed as as Foreign Securities. (symbol BIP) With a yield of 3,59%. Is it subjected to a foreign withholding tax,

Q: I have a quarter postion in SU which is down. I would like add another quarter to it or start a CNQ position. May I have your thoughts on your suggestion(s)?

Q: Hi Guys / Gals,

A couple of quick questions.

1/ SGY.CA - bought 5,000 at $0.73. Does it have further upside potential in near term or should I just bail.

2/ CSH.UN.CA - buy, sell or hold for income?

Thanks so much as usual.

Q: These results look medicore,
1. Is this partly due lo restaurant closures,
2 may I ask you to explain the dividend announcement. It seemed opaque to me. Many thanks

Q: Hello 5i I own 2000 shares of IPL and am confused with the 4 options that the shares must be submitted to in the BIPC 20.00 per share takeover. My cost is 24.00 per share. I think BIPC has room to appreciate in share price and there yield is around 3.5% what do you think about BIPC as an investment. So I have to maybe report a tax loss depending on the option I pick. Could you comment on each 4 options the pro's and cons. Also what is the clarification of "Eligible Electing Shareholders Only" which is stated in option's 3 and 4.

Q: Hi all
Already own AQN. Looking to add another renewable play. Can you rank the above in terms of dividend safety and growth. Any others I have missed that you might include?

Q: goood morning - i have full positions in NWC and PBH. NWC has been steady, with a bit of growth. PBH has done well. I am thinking of selling both and buying QSR for both growth and income. Would you consider this to be a net upgrade in position? Thanks
