Q: Hi Peter,

Could you comment on why TransCanada is holding up much better versus Enbridge during this Energy correction? I hold both equities and considering selling TRP to fund the purchase of ENB.

Thanks,
Angelo

Q: I realize this is a subjective question. Amongst ENB,IPL,ALA, PPL.

Based on 10 / 10 being really good; Please give me a number for each based on "overall quality of company", past 10 year historical track record, safety of dividend and future growth.

thanks

Q: As I am over 55 and live in BC I qualify to defer my property taxes until sale of our home. I will have to pay .7% interest on the deferred funds this year and the rate can change yearly. I was thinking of depositing the equivalent funds (about $2500 per year) my TFSA each year as i have unused room and I was wondering what recommendation you would make for a reasonably safe investment for these funds for the long term until sale of our home when they will come due along with interest.

Q: I have BCE and RCI.B. I had thought of dropping Rogers and buying Telus, now Rogers is moving somewhat. Would you recommend I replace one of the two with Telus? Keep the two I have? or invest in all three as I am underweight Telcos?

Thank you for this and all your answers to others

Q: I am looking at buying either ALA or ALA.r in my RRSP.
I have read your analysis on this matter and am not sure I follow it all. The receipts were issued at $31.00 and are redeemable at $31.00 should the deal not go through. They now trade at $ 29.65. If I buy the receipts ,I will collect the " dividend equivalent ". If the deals goes through ( which I think is likely), I will receive new shares.

It seems a "no brainer" to buy the receipts as you have a capital gain if the deal does not go through. The receipts seems to track the stock which seem to offer a buying opportunity.

What do you think? Thanks

Derek

Q: Peter always good to see you on BNN. You mentioned Altagas' dividend being fine as it would be based on cash flow ( please correct me if I'm misquoting) and therefore a decent investment.
Could you respond to this article about Altagas and the author's points?

Q: Hello Team, I'm thinking about adding AD and HOT.UN to my portfolio for the dividends which are really good.

What are your thoughts on this? How risky are these companies? The AD CEO mentioned he plans to raise the dividend this year. HOT.UN just did a great aquisition. Am I missing something?

Q: Good morning
It has come to my attention that a broker commented on ALA's dividend payout as being 257.5 %.
Further, the broker is raising questions on the sustainability of its robust payout ratio.
I will appreciate your comments. Is the dividend at risk?
Thanks
Terry

Q: Just to clarify further on my previous question. How are the dividend growers valued at right now compared to historical lows/highs/averages. So say CDZ (or something similar) now vs. historical. Wanting to understand how overvalued they may be compared to historical lows/highs through the economic cycles.
