Q: Bell Aliant (BA) pays a much better dividend than the big three telecos. If you were to pick just one, are there good reasons to prefer BCE, T or RCI? Is BA more risky?

Q: Dear 5i,
As a quick follow up to my previous question on TransCanada TRP, I also currently have about 3.0% of the portfolio in IPL. I was thinking of using some of the proceeds from selling TRP.PR.D to bring that up to 5.0% in IPL. Having another pipeline seems like a good idea and Enbridge is in the Model Portfolio as well. Is that still the best pick today or would you suggest TRP or Pembina?
Also, saw the posting of the December 2013 portfolio. Congratulations or your out-performance! I know it won't always be like that, but you did very well for your membership. I've been really using the service and learning a lot from you!

Q: Hi 5i team. Final question in 2013. Would you classify BIP.UN as utility? What about BEP.UN? Resource? How will they behave, classwise, going forward? Best in the New Year. Henry
Q: Happy New Year, Peter and staff!!
I am a relatively new subscriber to 5i but have been with Money saver for a long time (I love that magazine). And I really like this 5i service!
I look after the affairs of my mother who is 81, we have a bunch of GIC’s / bonds coming due in a non-registered account. The fixed income portion of her portfolio is about 50%. The rest is in dividend paying blue chips such as banks, telecom’s, insurance, energy. These have been held for quite a while and have been serving her very well.
I am looking at a few ETF’s for the income portion, I am interested in short term laddered government as well as corporate bond funds. Analyzing ETF screens, I have been looking at CLF, CBO, ZCS, VSC and ZCM. I am thinking of perhaps splitting her fixed income to 2 or 3 of these or similar accounts.
I would really appreciate your thoughts on these and other ETF’s that I should strongly consider.
Thank you, Dale

Q: Hi Peter & Team :
Enbridge Income Fund ENF had bounced from about $22.50 to $23.76 in the last 5 days. I intend to take a full position for income for the long term and wonder why it has popped up so much. I also own PPL TRP and BTE. Is there any company specific reason other than market buoyancy? Could I reasonably expect a pullback below $23 in the next few days or should I just go ahead and buy now?
Many thanks......... Paul

Q: Hi Peter & 5i: Regarding Just Energy’s (JE) “sale” of Terra Grain Fuels, the debt reduction aspect looks positive, though only a relatively small percentage of JE’s total debt. Can you tell though what JE will be losing in cash flow or EBITDA associated with Terra’s operations? Does a loss of cash flow offset the debt reduction in this case or was Terra not significantly cash flow positive on a net basis to begin with? Does this transaction impact JE's "embedded margin" valuation on the balance sheet at all? What is your overall significance assessment? Thanks very much!
