Investment Q&A

Q: Could I get your opinion please on Keyera's 2Q earnings. They sound good, and include a 9% dividend increase, however the EPS is down which seems to be affected by a number of non-cash charges. This always worries me. Thx Scott

Q: What would be your top 3 dividend paying picks for a "consumer" related stock based on current value / price and future growth. Thanks!!

Q: Peter, I am a GIC refugee. Bought ipl Pembina, Enbridge income fund and Veresen <old Forth Chicago> many years ago for income. In those days they were yielding 7 to 8% and they were not popular. They became very popular till the last 6 months and now are dropping like a rock. At what yield do you think the market will demand before they stop dropping? Interesting not one question today on Bnn on pipelines. Question two It is my understanding that Enbridge inc. sold many assets to Enbridge income fund. News release June 19. ENF said they were raising the div. this Sept, Jan 1 and every year for the next four years by 5% per year. Do you still expect this to be the case? Have tried to phone ENF and Enb, Inc with no answer.Thank you, Ken

Q: I have owned 1000 shares of transalta for several years at a cost 50% more than its current value. I am thinking of selling my holdings and reinvesting the proceeds in rnw--my option is to sell only 50% and investing the proceeds in rnw. Given the significant holding of ta in rnw does it make more sense to simply receive my ta dividend and hang on and be patient.

Q: May I have your comments on today's quarterly report

Q: Today Paul asked a question in which he included the following statement: [Plus I have PPL, ENB and IPL which you consider as utilities; all in very positive territory.]
