Q: What are your thoughts on utilities and Canadian telcos closer to the end of the interest rate cycle? Thinking of letting the insurance stocks I hold appreciate further in value and selling some to buy Canadian utilities and BCE and Telus since i own no shares in those three now and they will probably fall further. ???????

Q: For your member looking to receive USD dividends after buying a CAD stock:
You should be able to buy BIP.UN or BEP.UN in your CAD trading account then have Scotia transfer the position to your USD trading account and make an election to receive the dividends in USD. This way the dividends will be paid in USD and remain in USD. From there the cash could be transferred to your USD bank account as needed.

Q: Why would KML stock price be down today and why would it not reflect the intrinsic value of the purchase? They have just been offered $4.5 billion for its interest in the controversial pipeline which looks like a great deal for the company considering its market cap is only $1.6 billion (103.7 million shares at a price of $16.30 and no debt).

What am I missing?

With a zero weight I am considering a possible two of the three mentioned companies as new income generating positions.
Two part question - (1) which are most suitable for more stable income (& why) and (2) considering the interest rate environment, would this be less than ideal timing to start new these as new positions

Thanks again

Q: Pipelines seem to be a tough area to do business in right now. The Line 3 project for ENB doesn't seem to be different- especially with the routing decision in MINN. Do you feel there is risk to the project being completed? If so, is it possible to quantify the damage to ENB? Alternatively, if they move ahead with the approved, but not desired route, can the added costs be worked through to movements in the share price? Trying to get a better understanding of possible risk on this.

Thanks

Q: With the proposal of ENB to take out ENF at 29$ ( deal timeline for end of Q4) what are the risk associated with an arbitrage position by collecting dividends at around 8% and buying ENF at under 29$ and waiting for the stock equity swap date to happen. Two option are offered , having the optionality to A) sell ENF at 29$ while collecting the income ( would drip still be in place during that waiting time ) or
B) to swap ENF shares to ENB shares and at what ratio $ value per $ value or share for share fixed ratio at date of announcement ?
What impact will of a rising interest rate will have on ENF shares during that waiting time as ENB shares would probably fall further during those coming months
Thank you
Jean

Q: What is your view at this time of Canadian bond proxy stocks versus Cdn dividend growth stocks, and their valuations relative to interest rates?

If you are of the view that dividend growers are more appropriate at this time, can you provide three growers that you recommend, and 3 bond proxy stocks that you would suggest to stay away from, to better understand the types of stocks that fall into this category. Thanks.
