Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,
We hold Enbridge in a taxable account and are considering trading to another company with better growth potential. We like the dividend but one anaylist says that all earnings are needed to support the dividend. He thinks the stock price is over valued raising warning flags. Another anaylist likes the name and thinks it is good value.
Enbridge is in the 5i income fund. Is 5i still confident in the company? Our position at present is flat.
Thank you for your opinion

Q: Hello 5i, I am considering on taking a position in either Peyto or Arc. Could you comment on a comparison of the 2 as to what their payout ratio is and how safe the distribution is also your opinion on these 2 companies. Would you have a better recommendation on an energy company and if so which one. Also on your old website on the right side there was a selection by year and month of questions answered I see that it is now gone or how do I find this info.
Thanks

Q: Hi there,

I am considering Raging River for a position but hope for your comments on Parsley Energy as an alternative. I already own Spartan Energy. Eric Nuttall seems high on the US producers and has mentioned this as a favourite. Currency movement may add appeal on Parsley? Which would you suggest for a new position and why? Energy would remain a small part of my portfolio.

Q: Hello,

Hello 5i. We hold some Bonavista in our modest energy sector holdings. To sell low after buying near its high (currently underwater by $20k) seems crazy, not to mention embarrassing. Yet, I'm mulling selling before end of year and replacing (probably also in energy?). My objective is a more reliable dividend payer to replace it with and one that should also respond well when the energy sector eventually comes back, as it always has. This change would be in our corporate account; please also advise if I'm right in understanding this loss could be carried forward and/or offset gains sold last year. Your thoughts and advice on these two points will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Q: In your recent response to Margita you recommended holding Enbridge for the dividend. As a retiree I purchased 1k shares of ENB not only for the dividend income but also the projected dividend growth of 10-12%. What are your thoughts on the later? Is there anything in the latest financials or management comments (or lack thereof) that would cause you to re-consider ENB for the balanced portfolio.
Many thanks
Mike

Q: I am considering selling my position in TOG and replacing it with ENB. I have held TOG for 3 years, its finally increasing in price ( I am down approx. 13%) and ENB is becoming a more attractive price, with a higher yield. I have equal weighting of 15% in both. Would this be a good decision going forward.
Thank you!

Q: I have owned these stock in substantial amounts for approx 3 years. I like the dividends. Last Jan/Feb they peaked at approx the same value oil is today.
Today oils up but as a group they are down. Am I crazy to think these companies are going to rebound even to levels of early 2017?
Is there an explanation for these stock prices? The dividends are attractive enough to keep me in - but better stock valuations seem elusive.
