Q: Hi 5i
I bought POW at $24 about a year ago so have made over 70% with divs. I am tempted to sell it near all time high to buy MFC about 15% off 52 week high. Yields are the same, MFC has lower PE (9 vs 11) and lower PEGY. (Also own SLF which I will continue to hold long term). Thoughts?

Q: HI Team

I hold a small position in Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP.un) and I would like your opinion on two questions.

What is your take on the long-term prospects of BIP.un if the Inter Pipleline takeover goes through? Will it be a negative or positive long-term impact if such a large deal happens?

Also, was BIP.un ethical in using total return swaps to avoid the minimum 10% holding disclosure rule? This seems like an underhanded way to gain control of Inter Pipeline.

Thanks

George
