Q: Any reason why BIP.UN's unit price today took such a big dip?

I noticed three fairly large trades, two today (311.4K at 9:30am and 133.6K at 3:30pm) and also one yesterday before closing (84.5k at 3:30pm). Some major holder(s) decided to exit, or what's the story? Today's total volume at 1.25million shares is also well over the daily average of 250K.

Know anything that happened? Thanks.

Q: Hello, we have a full position in CNQ (5%) and SU & TOU (3% combined). We also own ENB (6%). We are considering to reduce our weighting in Energy sector. We like CNQ and ENB, for their respective merits, at the two ends of the spectrum being Growth and Income and relatively stable history of stock performance. If you have to choose to sell/trim between SU and TOU, what would be your approach - Equally trim from Both or Sell one of them in full ? Based on current and likely scenario of Oil and Natural Gas prices and their balance sheet and growth/income prospects.

Thank You

Q: Hi Peter and Team
I still hold AQN in a LIF account and would like to replace it with something that pays a decent dividend and will in time recover the more than 40% loss. What do you think of GEI, BEP.un, BIR, TD, or BAM as a replacement? Please rank order. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Obviously no regard to sector.
Thanks for your guidance, Gary

Q: Hi Peter and all,

I own BCE in my TSFA. and am interested if you would recommend holding longer term, given the recent news of station closures and layoffs. I assume those are good business decisions for the longer term viability of the company. Still a hold ?

Next year I will be retiring, and currently I have the outlined stocks in my RRSP, I'm happy with all of them, I think I would like to sell some of them (or trim down, slowly -no rush) and buy stocks/etf that will provide resilience , some yield, and perhaps some growth , can you please provide me with some ideas, 3 or more , I was thinking BN, add more to VFV.
Please use as many credits as required.

THANK YOU for all your help.

Q: What are your thoughts on the announced acquisition? Do you feel its a good value pick vs. say Enbridge as the short term price may drop to near the subscription pricing around $20 and the acquisition is roughly 15% accretive. It would appear to me that one would get better downside protection and potentially an extra 20% share price increase over the mid term after the transaction closes.

Q: Good morning team,
My only exposure to the energy sector is Tourmaline and I am thinking of adding either Suncor or Canadian Natural Resources. Can you please let me know which of these two you think would be the better choice and why. If you think there is a better choice to diversify my exposure please let me know.

Thank you,
Paula
