Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.,
Emera is selling off this morning after reporting Q2 results yesterday. The company has also lowered its dividend growth guidance to 4% - 5% versus 8% previously. I currently hold a 3% weighting in my portfolio. Would this be a good time to add to my position? At today's price, I can lock in an almost 6% yield expected to grow 4% - 5% annually. This yield is significantly better than what I get on Fortis right now. Would I be taking on significantly more risk with Emera than Fortis?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Earnings numbers for IPL please and how they compare YOY. Thank you.

I am a fan of the polypropylene plant IPL are building to make a value added product using propane in AB. How does IPLP fit into that picture? How similar/disimilar is TCL.A's recently acquired packaging business to IPLP?

Q: Hello 5i, Thanks very much for all you do for your members. I look at your organization as the "Robin Hood" of the Canadian financial industry. My question today is: I sold my ECI this last week and decided to capture the gain and redistribute to one new position with the proceeds. I'm looking for another dividend aristocrat (as identified by the S&P index or one that could be as CIX will be getting the boot) I'm closing in on retirement but still like to stay in the growing type names. Not terribly worried about maximizing my income at this point. Which of my choices do you think has the most upside over the next 5 years.
