Q: Peter, I read your article in the National Post on Saturday. You focus on a handful of companies that are superior according to your filters. Of these how would you rank the companies above? And have you any information about them which you would like to add? Thanks for your insights.

Q: I currently hold the above 3 utilities in equal weights in a well diversified portfolio and am considering adding Fortis or Emera. I'm looking for safety, dividends, and some growth. I would prefer to keep the count down to 3 stocks so could you please rank them for me?
Thanks

Q: What are your favourite energy names that have decent/reasonably safe dividend yields, strong balance sheets and are cash flow positive at current market prices? Not looking for the names most levered to oil/gas price rebound.....I don't mind being patient on long-term holds that are very cheap today and will be around in 5-10 years.

Cheers

Q: I have been watching KML. My portfolio is a bit mixed up these days, and could probably use a little more diversification within my dividend plays (weighted heavily in Banks at the moment). At 4.5% yield, this looks like a decent play, and it feels like there is upside potential with the share price, with limited downside (assuming the Pembina deal stays on track, as the company has said). I like the stability of their income, and it looks as though they have "taken their lumps". How do you guys feel about KML these days?

Thank you in advance

Don

Q: I have a 5% position in BCE and a 4% position in NWC, which I consider both to be "full", relative to their "blue chip status". I have a little bit of cash available to top up either or both. With the recent weakness in both BCE and NWC, would you add to either at this time? From an asset allocation perspective it doesn't really matter which, although I could use a bit more in the consumer space.

BCE = Now that the election is behind us, does the threat of cell phone fee reductions seem more likely? What does the future look like?

NWC = At last reporting, I understand the airline expansion was possibly holding back results...any new news?

Thanks...Steve

Q: My Reit and Utilities have become underweight in my portfolio (not because they haven't done well - other stocks have just done better). What would be your top three value investments in these sectors today (they all seem a bit expensive right now) in both the US and Canada. i am looking for both income and a bit of growth.

Q: Good morning 5i team.
Keyera seems to be struggling lately. I saw a reference to Bellatrix bankruptcy as well as mention of rights issues (disputes with KML?) regarding the Alberta Crude Terminal and Baseline.
How big of an issue is Bellatrix bankruptcy for Keyera?
Can you provide any details on the issues with KML?

Thanks
Peter

Can you shed light on these issues.
