Q: What is the appropriate payout ratio to look at for Enbridge? They just raised the dividend 10% which signals optimism; however, I'm looking at a Motley Fool article today that argues earnings and free cash flow are both below the amount of cash needed to pay the dividend. I believe it likely the author is looking at the wrong metric and wanted to get your view. How comfortable are you with ENB's payout ratios?

Also, what is the yield assuming current price and the newly raised 2019 dividend payments?

Many thanks.

Q: ALA: Sorry, another question about ALA. I just want to confirm: Is your best advice to sell ALA, take the loss (in my non-registered account) and move on, despite the 50% loss in share price? Besides ENB as an alternative for a long term income objective, what other quality stocks would you recommend now?

Q: Based on current fundamentals and projected earnings over the next 1 to 3 years which pipeline company would you recommend for purchase during this tax-loss season? ENB seems to have better growth potential in the next 1 to 2 years but PPL has been much less volatile over the last 3 years.

Q: Hi 5i.

I made an impulsive and uneducated buy of ALA a few months ago and have been rewarded with a 45% kick in the you-know-what. Fortunately, it has been a painful but not catastrophic experience. The buy is in a cash account.

I favour a buy-and-hold strategy but ALA has me constantly questioning my next move. I understand that ALA has a lot of debt and interest rates are not helping their cause. I am expecting a cut in the dividend (like everyone else). I know you have recently published an extensive set of your own rules to live by regarding equities with one of them being 'sell your losers' (paraphrased).

Simply put, is ALA dead-in-the-water or does it have long-term possibilities?

Thanks in advance.................Martin
