Q: So with the pipeline companies yielding between 8 and 20% and factoring in a 50% dividend cut, they would still have a nice yield. I suspect that some might increase, or at least slow price decline if cut.
Please list these companies in order of balance sheet strength and debt % and coverage, and order of preference. Thanks

Q: Hello
I will appreciate your comments as to how the coronavirus will affect TRP and ENB.
Do both companies have high exposure to the virus like the automotive manufacturers or low to moderate exposure to the virus ?

Thank you

Q: Hi Folks
can you comment on Enbridge and TransCanada ( TC Energy ) - are they still okay to hold at this time ? In particular are they okay to hold at the same time - I have both BUT not in the same portfolios. I have ENB in my RRSP (2.5% position), in my wife's TFSA (2.5% position) and in my non-registered account (2.5% position) . I have TRP just in my wife's RRSP (4.5% position ).
Appreciate you comments.
Thanks

Q: Luckily, I went to cash on most of my US holdings in Feb, but kept some VIG, thinking it would survive better than others. That has not really been true and I notice that it does not bounce as much on an up day as one like VIS, which also pays a higher yield. As I start picking away at re-building my US portfolio, what 3 ETF's would you recommend?
