Q: I am planning to buy BEP on this dip. BEPC has dropped from a high of 80 to 64. BEP,UN has only dropped from 63 to 59. In the last few days, BEPC has dropped by 5% each day while BEP.UN only dropped by 2%
Can you explain the difference?
Which one should I buy given the difference in price drop?
I can buy in either my RRSP or my corp, doesn't matter. I guess if you tell me BEPC, I'd put in my corp, and if you say BEP.UN, I'd put in RRSP, would that be correct?
Thanks.

Q: What do you think of BIP's offer for IPL?

I note that the stock price of BIP is down about 20% since Dec 24. I also think that investors may be in part selling now to shy away from the fossil fuel industry. Yet the pipeline industry seems less impacted by the price of oil and the regulations barring new pipelines. Wouldn't this make the existing pipes more valuable.

So, does all this imply that this downdraft is a good buying opportunity for bip (which I already own a lot of)?

Q: ALREADY HAVE A 5 PERCENT HOLDING IN TELUS AND AM THINKING OF ADDING BCE TO THE SAME POSITION. IS THIS TO MUCH IN A 68 YEAR OLD RETIREES PORTFOLIO? MY THINKING IS REDUCING RISK IN CASE OF A SIZEABLE CORRECTION AS THE GAINS HAVE BEEN ADDING UP. IF YOU HAVE A COUPLE OF BETTER INCOME IDEAS IDEAS THAT WOULD BE APRRECIATED. THANKYOU

Q: I have BPY.un in my TFSA and I intend to sell it as soon as Brookfield raises its offer (hopefully). To replace it, I will choose between PPL and KEY; I own both in a cash account and my strategy for my TFSA is to "hide" higher-yield equities in it, hence my willingness for putting PPL or KEY in my TFSA. For a 10+ years holding, which one should I choose if I want dividend growth, some capital growth and lower volatility?

Thanks, Martin

Q: Hi 5i,

Apparently, Brookfield already owns almost 20% of IPL (I must have missed reporting of this fact). Could they sell their IPL shares and only report the sale after they have been completed? Could this “almost” offer be a way to increase the price before they sell?

Thanks for the input.

Q: In my RSP I hold 10% positions in Enbridge and Pembina Pipeline, and am satisfied with the results. What do you think of also buying InterPipeline in view of Brookfield's takeover ambitions?

Q: What are your thoughts on BIP's bid for IPL? I hold some IPL - wondering if I should sell it and cut my losses since it's trading at a $1 premium over the $16.50/share offer, or what the benefits/downsides are to waiting it out.

Q: I am holding AQN, BEPC, and BLX in utilities and am considering selling AQN to purchase NPI. I’m retired and looking for safe growth with some income. Does this trade seem reasonable for a longer term?

Q: Hi,
I have two questions on my TFSA:
1) Bought ENB at around @49 back in 2018, going no where since then (other than dividends). Is it good time to trade for BEP? (ENB is currently my only stock on the fossil fuel/energy space).
2) If I buy BEP for TFSA, which one makes most sense, BEP as PEPC? US vs. Canada-listed?
Thank you for your guidance as always.
