Q: Hello,

If there is never another new pipeline built in Canada (which I feel is a real possibility), how would you view pipelines companies as long term investments going forward?

Regards,

Robert

Q: For the first few months of ownership I was making a few clams with this company but now I’ve been underwater so long I’m running out of air. Does current valuation suggest I might want to refill the tanks or should I just swim away.
It dropped substantially last year when the government announced it would grant a licence for 25 per cent of the total allowable catch of Arctic surf clam (taking away CLR’s monopoly). It seems to be falling today on the same news, except that the winner of that 25% allowance has now been identified. Is it an over-reaction?

Q: I am thinking about switching from Alta-Gas to Innergex for a 3% position and taking a reduction in yield. 5 to 10 years holding time. The 2017 INE results were out late today. In looking them over I see significant improvement in revenues and adjusted EBITDA as well as a drop in the payout ratio due to an improvement in free cash flow. The dividend was increased modestly by 3%. However, earnings were down substantially.
Power generation was down due to lower flow volumes in BC and lower than average winds in France.
Would the anticipated rate increases be discounted in the current price in your opinion?
Do you think this is a reasonable switch at this time? Also, in your opinion is there anything in the 2017 results that would be a major red flag for you that I might be missing?
Thanks as always,
Rob

Q: Hello, I'm curious about the ex dividend date provided by my investment company. Is that the date - if you own stock on that date - that you earn the dividend dollars? Could i for instance a company with a dividend day of Feb 20, buy 100,000.00 of it on Feb 18, get the dividend and then sell on Feb 22? Not really a strategy I have in mind but I'd love clarification on how it works. I have some stocks I want to sell, some for tax loss purposes and some because they've gotten so high and am looking at this ex dividend date as something to consider.
Many thanks.
Dave
