Q: You seemed happy with ENB's last quarter. I notice it is one of the more shorted stocks. (Recent G&M article).Do you have thoughts on what the short argument would be?
Q: "Alaris Royalty Corp. Announces A $100 Million Bought Deal Financing."
What does this do to their debt levels? Do you think this is a sign that all is not going so well at Alaris?
Q: What are your thoughts on Restaurant Brands International as a buy today if looking at a 3-5 Year Time Horizon. Do you think a lot of the performance will be dependent on their aggressive expansion plans?
Q: My wife and I own POW and PWF respectively in our taxable accounts, both purchased earlier this year. There was an article in the Globe & Mail a couple of days ago about shareholder dissatisfaction with corporate governance, specifically referring to members of the Desmarais family.
I own both versions of TRI stock and it does very well but I'm worried its momentum is unsustainable. If you look at a five year chart, it's becoming parabolic. Why is this company doing so well, has such a remarkable beta, and what are its prospects in the next five years?
Q: Hi, was thinking of buying some IPL for some income and growth (50-50). What are your thoughts on company as far as debt,management ,and future stability, when we have a market correction.
Would hold for longer term 3-4+ years. Or would ENB be a better option with lower dividend.
Thanks
Q: Peter; I tried finding out what this etf holds but couldn’t find it on the TSX quote or the size etc. I assume it very new and do have an opinion on it for income? Thanks. Rod
Q: I have shares in these two companies in my TFSA. I have sold another position and would like to add the proceeds to one of these two. Which one do you believe has the greatest growth potential over a 5 year period? Thanks
Q: 10:15 AM 5/16/2019
1. Could you please provide the numbers for, and compare and comment on : debt levels, financial leverage, debt to cashflow, and payout ratios for EMA, FTS, AQN, BIP.UN, BEP.UN.
2. You seem to always rate EMA at the bottom of the list [Why?] but I believe EMA has sold off some significant assets [Emera Maine and others?, more to come?] so debt levels should be lower, so is it a secure buy now for long-term dividend income?
3. I worry that BIP and BEP both have extremely high payout ratios. You have suggested that a total of 15% of one's portfolio in these two would be acceptable. Are you still of that opinion?
Thank you........ Paul K
Q: I've held a position in EIF in my diversified, 5iR like income portfolio. Currently the weighting is 1.9%. From a growth which looks positive, at least to me, and risk perspective, what weighting would you suggest I consider for EIF?
