Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Good Morning: I own some shares of ppl.pr.e and am thinking that I would like to sell them and buy ppl. At the moment the yield on ppl is actually higher than that for the preferred. Granted that the preferred offers, theoretically, more security, while the common shares offer more opportunity for share price growth, do you have an opinion on a course of action here. What is your opinion on ppl at the moment. As always, thanks.

Q: Hi 5i
Gibson Energy (GEI) has been quoted as being open to a sale and Keyera (KEY) has been mentioned as the next midstream target for a consolidation in the industry. Now that Pembina Pipelines (PPL) has walked away from the IPL takeover, do you see PPL looking at Keyera and/or Gibson Energy (GEI) as potential takeover targets? Thanks

Q: These units are down > 60% today after an announcement that the company is doing a debt exchange and suspending cash distributions on preferred shares. I find this very surprising as the units have been steadily going up and were trading at above par prior to the announcement. Doesn't the market typically anticipate such things (i.e. if there was any reason to believe the distribution would be cut or suspended, the units would not be trading anywhere close to par). Any thoughts on this, especially given that Brookfield owns the common shares and the debt but not the preferred? Where does that leave preferred unit holders? Would it be prudent to simply take my loss and exit the position? Thanks.
