Q: I have Enbridge in my portfolio and have received notice of a special meeting pertaining to the merger with Spectra that involves the issuance of shares to Spectra holders at just below par to facilitate the process. The literature is rather bulky and I am not sure I really understand it. Is this a good proposal for shareholders and should I support it? This kind of change makes me nervous. Is it a really good idea almost certain to benefit the merged entity, or is it time to exit from Enbridge to be safe?

Q: Good afternoon,
I am wondering if you can provide your latest take on LMP. The forward PE has come down to a reasonable (relatively speaking) level, growth looks solid and the balance sheet seems safe, given the cash position/no debt. Can you speak to:(1)the competitive landscape in the sector and (2) anything investors should know about management beyond the 40%+ insider stake.
Thanks,
Jason

Q: Hi, the US portion of my portfolio is composed of about 15 stocks, mostly dividend paying. Because the dollar is fairly high, I am reluctant to buy US stocks at the present time. Therefore, I am looking to add to my US exposure through a dividend paying ETF. I think ZUD (which is hedged to CAN dollar) is a good choice (do you agree?), but I was wondering whether you would have other suggestions for an ETF or even a mutual fund that would pay a dividend. Thanks again for your service.

Q: Northwest Healthcare Properties accounted their quarter a couple weeks ago. Can you review and see if anything is out of the ordinary? If I had to look at one metric to make comparisons quarter to quarter or year to year, how do I gauge if this REIT is executing well?
Q: I own both companies, mainly for the dividend; but am down about the same in both (25%).
Question is: do I dump AD and buy more of BDT?
Do I dump both?
If I sell both , what would you suggest as a replacement for a comparable, but more secure dividend? Sector is not a consideration here.
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
I am retired and have a 5-10 year investment horizon. I love your Q&A database and find it provides almost all the answers I need.
My question is a general one around interest rates, but I have provided A&W as an example.
I have heard for, it seems like more than a decade, that when interest rates rise, then the price of dividend producing equities will suffer as folks move to bonds and other more growth orientated companies or funds. I have always thought that, say A&W with a 4.4% dividend (and a visible healthier food strategy driving higher sales) would retain its value unless interest rates rise "a lot". The dividend is likely very stable and tax beneficial, so very attractive.
Now, with conditions forming out there that may lead to rising interest rates, and maybe "a lot", how concerned should I be with, say, holding my A&W.
General comment. I notice that some of us who ask questions like to define our status (retired) and time horizon (5-10 years) as we pose a question. I would be supportive in providing a general profile that is maintained at your end so you can "look me up" when answering questions. Optional for us, as some might not want to share. Just a thought.
Love your service.

Q: Hi, I have a number of renewable energy companies in my portfolio including the above, which I treat as a mini ETF, and they have performed wonderfully with both yield and growth.

Q: Good Morning
I am rebalancing the 40% Fixed Income portion of my portfolio. I currently have 30% Preferred, 8% CVD, 33% Renaissance Global Bond. The remaining is currently in cash.
I am considering adding Pimco Monthly Income for the remaining 30%. Pimco is rated somewhat higher than Renaissance and is similar with a Global component. What would you suggest for a rebalance, an allocation to some Bond ETFs etc.
The Equity side is diversified and makes up the other 60%.
Thanks to all
