Q: I've been considering adding a pipeline to my portfolio and have been humming and hawing between ENB and TRP. TRP has made a significant upward move lately and ENB continues to fall. Could you comment on this Motley Fool article and which of the two you consider the better investment at current valuations ? Or another pipeline if you feel it is a better choice ?
Thankyou

Q: Wondering whether a Kinder Morgan type dividend cut could happen to Cdn pipeline cos in a sustained low price environment. With negative sentiment in the sector and depressed share prices companies will be hard pressed to raise capital to fund significant cap ex programs. If they cannot fund growth organically they may need to cut dividends to free up capital. I realize Kinder's situation was exacerbated by an untimely large acquisition but the need to fund large cap ex programs remains in a depressed share price environment. Your thoughts please. Thanks..

Q: If you were to buy a couple or rate-reset preferreds, what might they be and why.
Is it a good time to get into them, considering "negative interest rates" have come up as a possible option to deal with economic issues?

As always, thanks.

Q: hello 5i:
I currently hold small amounts of TRP, ENB AND BIP. I also hold a full position in BEP.UN, and a smaller position in FTS. Dividend Growth is important, as are present dividends. I am considering taking a full position in BIP.UN. To do this, I'd have to sell the TRP and ENB holdings. Can you compare the stocks, and does this seem like a sound move for a portfolio that has too many holdings?

Q: TA has been a destroyer of asset value for many years. How will buying assets from TA benefit RNW? How can an investor know that assets are being sold at fair market value?How much overlap is there on the boards of the two companies. If there is a high degree of overlap, I see little reason to expect RNW to be a better managed company. TD has a price target of $14.50, which seems very aggressive to me. Your comments please.

Q: Are there any screaming buys for income investors that have emerged through this tax loss sell-off period? Please list 5 best buys.

Q: Hi all, as background, TA is selling assets to RNW early in the new year (January 2016). RNW miniority shareholders need to approve the transaction, but it is accretive and RNW would boost its dividend by 5% immediately so approval looks probable. Upon completion of the transation, TA will own 64.3% of RNW, which is worth $5.78 per share (based on an RNW market price of around $10.00), plus TA does have other assets (unfortunately coal fired plants in Alberta, but they must be worth something). So I am wondering why you think TA shares are trading at only $4.20, which is a 27% discount to the value of its investment in RNW only?

Q: Hi Peter and Team,

SPB hasn't been performing too well lately, and I'm wondering if their recent announcement "Superior Plus Announces December 2015 Cash Dividend and Reestablishment of Dividend Reinvestment Program" will help the stock going forward. The DRIP will apparently have a 4% discount. Should I hang on to my position in SPB in an otherwise balanced portfolio, and enroll in their DRIP? SPB is held in my RRIF but their are other dividend payers that cover my mandatory withdrawals.

Thanks as always for your valuable advice.
