Q: I have been a longtime owner (10+ years) of PSI and ARX which are held in my RRSP. Their performance over that time has been ok but not stellar.I am considering selling one or both and replacing them with IPL,VET, or KWH.UN. I am more interested in income with reasonable growth at this point in time. Thanks, Joe

TORONTO, Feb. 23, 2017 /CNW/ - S&P Dow Jones Indices Canadian Index Services will make the following changes in the S&P/TSX Canadian Indices:

Enbridge Inc. (TSX:ENB) has completed the acquisition of Spectra Energy Corp. (NYSE:SE). To reflect the issuance of common shares as part of the transaction, the relative weight of Enbridge will increase in the S&P/TSX Composite and Capped Composite, the S&P/TSX 60, 60 Capped and 60 ESG, the S&P/TSX Composite Dividend, the S&P/TSX Composite High Dividend, the S&P/TSX 60 Carbon Efficient, the S&P/TSX 60 Carbon Efficient Select, the S&P/TSX 60 Fossil Fuel Free, the S&P/TSX 60 Fossil Fuel Free Carbon Efficient, the S&P/TSX 60 Fossil Fuel Free Carbon Efficient Select and the S&P/TSX High Income Energy Indices at the open of trading on Tuesday, February 28, 2017."

Do you think that the increased weight for ENB shares in the S&P indices will result a buying pressure on the stock price, on Feb 27&28 ? Should it be material ? What are your views on ENB now, once Spectra merger has closed ? Thanks

Q: Cott reported today. In the past year it has traded as high as in the 20s and now around 15. I have a half position and they seem to be on track to achieve better growth and revenue in 2017. Would you endorse a full position? I like it also has a potential takeover target. They tried a few years ago but now they are a different company and possibly more attractive to the likes of pepsi or coke.

Q: Can you give me your opinion on CPX recent earnings?

Comment on the plant purchases they made.

Do you believe spot price for electricity in Alberta will go up from current (no pun intended :) 23$ per mWh?

I have held this stock for over 5 years but it has been much more volatile than say a Fortis utility.

I wonder if they have turned the corner in terms of volatility.

Thank you for your helpful comments.

Best regards
Stephane

Q: Hello team -

A recent BNN guest has a sell recommendation on Altagas, with the comment about the company having to borrow to pay the dividend (if I recall correctly).

I know that you seem to be comfortable with their ability to pay the dividend, and that the WGL acquisition will support future dividend growth. Will this support happen soon or a few years from now? I was also wondering if an increase in interest rates would affect their ability to pay the dividend.

Thanks.

Jim

Q: Hi guys.

Any idea why, despite growing their earnings through 2014 and 2015, Callidus Capital's (CBL) share price has declined so dramatically in 2015?

Also, do you have an opinion why the market is giving CBL such a low multiple? Alaris Royalty (AD) is still dealing with its troubled investments and is trading at a 13.41 2017 estimated eps multiple. In contrast, CBL trades at a 2017 estimated earnings p/e of 9.77. Why has Alaris, historically, been given such a higher multiple than Callidus?

Thanks, as always.
