Q: Please comment on PPL's announcement pertaining to the building of a new petrochemical plant. In December 2017 IPL announced a similar project and since then the share price of IPL has noticeably under performed their Canadian pipeline peers. How different is PPL's project from IPL? Do you know much about their Kuwait based partner? How will this impact the PPL balance sheet? Do you expect they will need to issue more shares to finance this project? PPL is one of my largest holdings and I invest in it because they have shown to have good management and have the steady cash flow from the pipeline businesses. Does this transaction change that thesis in any way? The project feels like an unnecessary bet and all of a sudden a riskier holding for a conservative income investor.
Thanks
Rob

Q: I sold ARX for a tax loss in late Dec, and put the funds in SIS.
30 days later, part of me wants to buy the ARX back because it was a stable company with a good balance sheet, and because I took the loss.
I look to 5D for sober thought: is ARX a good buy at this price, or should I just count my losses and not double down?

Q: I have held 200 shs of Encana for years. I don't know if the encana/newfield merger has any success in it, to merit continuing to hold for an eventual recovery. In your opinion should I best let it go and buy something else? I have 50K cash on hand to cover new transactions.

Q: Expert pinions are strongly divided about BXE, it is cheap and should go up significantly or debt is too high and could go bankrupt. Today (Jan 24th) volume was unusually high with the share price increasing. Is it possible to find out if that was just short covering or fresh buying that might suggest some new development.

Thank for your superb service, Peter
