Q: We know of dividend increases when a company reports earning but is there a site that shows recent dividend increases buy all companies? Not sure if anyone / site tracks that.
Please advise.

Q: I have decided to sell most of my SNC shares, which is a large holding in my portfolio.  The stock is in a strong uptrend with 9 bullish and 1 bearish technical 'events' in just the past 6 weeks.  Are there any other catalysts on the horizon that will influence the stock?  What would be your advice re divesting this particular stock?  I can see 3 options - sell in one shot and move on, put in a trailing stop limit order at say 10% below the current price to try and ride it higher, or stagger the sales over a 2-3 month period?  Or is there another approach that you would recommend? I appreciate your guidance.  Thank you.

Q: I have a held 4.7% position in Enbridge for 5yrs+, the average dividend yield over the period is 5.52% it will generate 5k in income for us this year. I would like to continue to hold all things being equal and the dividend not under serious risk. It would seem to me to keep the company strong they have to make a bigger push into renewable energy if this low carbon world is the future. Can you comment if you see Enbridge taking part this transition on the scale that's necessary and still keep the dividend reasonably secure.

Q: I own these 2 majors and I'm up 15-20% on them so far. My question is that many people are now talking about value stocks and that energy and financials are good plays. It seems like a lot of people believe energy might be entering a multi year bull market (Eric Nutall!). I've traded these over the last few years since they always seem to pop and then go back down with political climate or economic sensitivity. How do you know if this time is different? I don't want to sell too early, but I don't think $100 oil is coming back.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: I have some extra cash sitting in a bank account earning next to nothing. I hold positions in the above companies and am thinking about adding to one of them. I understand that no equity investment is truly safe but which company would be your pick if capital preservation and dividend safety was top of mind. Thank you.

Q: Like 5i, I have held Enbridge for quite sometime. Looking back to 2014, Enbridge has gone nowhere and depending on the purchased price, e.g. 5i's case, in the negative. As explained to Paul a week ago Dividend is great, still very safe, etc. Now with the latest weak quarter, all the political, environmental hoopla; could you explain the benefits, even in an income portfolio of why Enbridge should be retained.
Thank You, Stephen S
