Q: Hi 5i,
I am up 55% on CPX, enjoyed the income however would it be wise to upgrade the overall quality of the investment in utilities to FTS or AQN? Understanding the income would be less but payout ratios look better in FTS or AQN and once interest rates rise the debt burden of CPX might become a issue.

Q: Hello, and thank you, to all of the 5i Team for the insightful investment advice!
I will be selling some Pembina Pipeline shares within a year’s time frame. Do you see any short term upside for the PPL share price, or will they most likely encounter some resistance at the $40 level, and stay range bound without some major mover? Thanks in advance!
