Q: I originally purchased Enbridge early this year at $65. I purchased more at $49. Today it is $43 . I am contemplating averaging down again and buying more. Do you think that is a good idea or do you think Enbridge is still likely to go lower still?? (I thought $49 was a low). Thanks for your opinion.

Q: Comparing CU, EMA and FTS three Canadian Electric Utilities over a 1 year period shows CU is down almost 25%, FTS down 6% and EMA up 6.5% (not counting dividends but EMA leads here as well). Can you explain why CU is under performing by such a wide margin. They do have 2 coal fired generating stations in Alberta. Which of there three would you buy here for a long term hold and why?
Appreciate your insight as usual.

Q: I am doing some bottom feeding for income - but am wary of being burned!


so, could you shed some light on the relationship between Enbridge ENB and Enbridge Energy Partners EEQ. I know you are positive on ENB. Would that therefore apply to EEQ as well - or are they different entities?
EEQ of course has been pummelled like most other energy names, and now shows a yield of 11%. So is EEQ buyable here or too good to be true?

Thanks for your help.

Q: The stock price seems to be in free fall on no new company news. Is it just market gyrations, or is something else going on? Thanks as always.

Q: I didn't get any allotment on the Hydro One IPO and the price shot up after it went public so I stayed away. H has retrenched to 21.90. Do you see this as a good price for an income investor? Given a choice of H or FTS, which would you recommend?

Q: Hi 5i,
For direct exposure to renewable power would you be ok with RNW? I already own BEP.UN and AQN. The juicy yield is appealing.

Thanks in advance!

Q: Would like your insight on enb. Has a good qr., increased 14 percent dividend. The outlook for 2016 is decent but the stock is in free fall mode. It's not even a pure energy company. Should I sell while I'm much ahead.

Thanks for expert advice as always. Rossana.

Currently I do not hold either of the two companies but was considering a purchase of PAG.

Thanks

Q: This comp. has incr. it's dividend 2x this yr. by .01 cent each time: PR +300%, ROE minimal ( not making any money or very little), high debt.. I own and have for 6 yr now TRP & ENB and realize that this is not a pipeline company; but, does have a utility component now, I believe. Would I be putting too many eggs in one basket, if I bought this company? What am I missing here because all the number say stay away!!!!

Q: Hello Peter,
Would you consider TD, Royal, Bank of Nova Scotia, Fairfax, BCE, Fairfax Financial, Manulife, Brookfield Management, Brookfield Infrastructure, Enbridge, metro, Loblaws, Google, Facebook,Visa as very long term holds where one can simply get the dividends (for some of these) and not worry about ups and downs of the market. I know you have covered these in the past, but am re-aligning my portfolio to focus on very long term holds. Thanks again for your advice.

Q: My income stars of 2 years ago , Banks, Energy , Pipelines : have all taken me down …
Although we are told that volume ( not price per bbl ) is the big issue with Pipelines , I am concerned at a never ending downturn . I have stuck in there and I am overweight pipes: PPL, TRP, ENB .

Certainly Kinder Morgan’s debt problems are worse than the Canadian pipelines, but with the demise in energy, and an interest rate cloud on the horizon, should we be pulling back substantially to avoid a catastrophic loss ?

Q: I am a retired, conservative dividend-income investor looking to add to the stocks I hold in the telecom-pipeline-utility sector. My current holdings are ALA, AQN, BCE and those contained within ZLB.

The candidates include ENB, FTS, IPL, KEY, PPL, TRP. I then filtered these down by using the following criteria = Beta < 1.0, Dividend yield > 5.0%, P/CF < 10.0, P/BV < 2.0. The result is TRP.

I am looking for a blue-chip, stable, dividend-payer, dividend grower, with obviously some capital growth potential.

Do you agree with my methodology? Any other filters to use? For diversity within the sector, should I included other candidate stocks?

Thanks for your help,
Steve
