Q: Hello 5i,
Crius has a 248.6% Payout Ratio for the March 31 2018 quarter! It is claimed that this is for Phantom Unit Rights: cash paid in compensation for time invested by upper echelon. This is according to a Phantom Units Rights Plan (PURP). Does this take place every three years? Distributable Cash was 3.7 million and total distribution was 9.2 million. Does this make sense?
I hope that words involving "phantom" and "PURP" are words that actually do bode well for future success.

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?
