Q: Thinking about the issues ENB has faced post merger with Spectra Energy, do you think ALA's acquisition of WGL will go smoothly or do you foresee AFFO/Share (and even the dividend) being substantially impacted, especially given the premium ALA is paying?

Q: Hi, What is your view on this company ? The new Board has taken some serious steps to restructure company's business and its direction. Per, Monday's NR, company has agreed to sell all its US stores and focus on CDN stores. This transaction will result in lower cash flow from operations but help reduce debt considerably. What do you think of this move and its future impact on company's operations? Stock has current dividend yield of 3.5% and CIBC upgraded its rating and price target. Is the stock buyable at present prices for short to medium term investment ? Thanks

Q: Hi 5i: Two questions - please deduct points as appropriate.
(1) I'm looking for a good telecom stock to complete a sector allocation. I hold BCE and Telus in another portfolio, so am considering Rogers. Can you suggest any others, preferably US, or perhaps a US Telco oriented ETF?
(2) As above, for the utility sector of the portfolio; a US utility, or a US utility ETF.

Your advice would be much appreciated. Regards Roland

Q: In the Financial Times on Saturday John Dizard wrote a column more or less saying that BIP was vulnerable to a short attack because of it's corporate structure based in Bermuda. Are you able to comment on the article. It seems that the writer thinks the chances of a short attack are minimal but that there is enough fog to create questions.
Can You give your opinion on his thinking.
I know this is not a straight forward issue to answer but we novice investors learn much when you give your approach. This is much appreciated.

Q: I have a position in ENB at $48. If you were selling a covered call on this security, what strike price and expiry date would you select?. The goal would be not to have the position called away. The pending clarification relative to future dividend increase rates is one element that needs to be considered.
Thanks!
