Q: Interested in your thoughts on the potential US Tariff impact on SOBO and other pipelines.

Given the lack of access to alternative markets for WCSB crude/liquids ,the fact that volumes are contracted for the long term and the demand from US refiners for what is already discounted feedstock - I would think that the impact would be small in the short term. Realized price for product may be further discounted leading to a drilling/supply response and ultimately lower volumes but with a 10% tariff this is probably not a significant factor in the short/medium term. Your thoughts??
Thanks

Q: Do you think South Bow is potential takeover target? Their pipeline would seem to be a desirable asset for another pipeline company, Private Equity or Infrastructure name like Brookfield Infrastructure. Would their higher debt be a deterrent at this point? South Bow reminds me somewhat of Inter Pipeline but perhaps more desirable since their pipeline extends from Canada into the USA. Looking forward to your response. Many thanks.

Q: Good morning,

I recently became aware that SOBO's dividends can be paid in US$.

Q1. Do you consider it a good idea to journal SOBO.CA holdings in a CDN$ Non Registered account to a US$ Non Registered account so that US$ can be generated in a similar manner as journaling BN shares from my CND$ Non Registered account to my US$ Non Registered account for the purpose of generating US$.

Q2. Do you see any negative aspect or tax implication with this strategy?

Thank you for your thoughts on this and I'll await your response.

Francesco

Q: Reviewing all your input on this stock, was wondering if you could share your take on the TD summary of analyst ratings (5) where three (3) are suggesting it is a "sell" while two (2) rank it as a "hold", average target price being $33.04 while today it is trading at $35.83!
Am I missing something here. Appreciate all you excellent support.
Ted.

Welcome if you have any other suggestion. Thanks

Q: So I’m sitting here day dreaming about SOBO. I understand Keystone XL is now their “ asset “ and wondering about possible scenarios under Trump. If he again OK’s it , would the stock move and in what direction, will it get built, is it still needed , would it be doable for this size company , etc ? Needing to add to my list of high dividend stocks, SOBO interests me and wonder what this sizeable project would have on the stock. Thanks.Derek

Q: For and RRSP long term hold with drip on, what would be your choice in the oil/pipeline industry? With the new admin coming in on Jan20th south of us and hopefully an election here how could that affect this industry. FTS is already owned in the account. Thank you

Q: I have the above stocks on my watchlist. They are all coming into the range that you have suggested in the past. Do you think they are buyable at current prices, APP for medium term, the others medium to long term (SOBO long term) which order would you add, and what percentage of the portfolio would you be comfortable with as a starting position? Thanks!

Q: Good morning,

About a month ago I took a tax-loss sale on BCE. Was a ~ 2% weighting. My 30 day "waiting period" is up this Friday, and now I am undecided as to buy it back, initiate a 2% position in SOBO, or do 1% BCE and 1% SOBO. I know you don't love to comment on portfolio weightings, but if you were me, what would you do?

Thanks as always.

Q: I now hold TRP & SOBO in both my TFSA & and my cash account. I would like to consolidate the SOBO into one account. Any tho'ts. or suggestions on where on where it might be best to hold the SOBO going forward? Most of my pipeline holdings are in PPL and am happy in its distribution in my different accounts. Thanks, Bill

Q: I have a question about South Bow- Are they a true pipeline company only? In the event the price of oil rose, would they benefit from that, or do they get paid the same shipping a $70 barrel vs a $100 barrel? If the same then I feel it is a volume game, they get more revenue for extra barrels they ship. And the yield and price likely remain stable if WTI rises dramatically. If so then this is a pure income play not capital gain added on top. Thanks
