Q: After the "blood in the streets" kind of day we have had today, March 12, was I "crazy" to add to my holdings of the aforementioned? Are their dividends as reliable as I perceive them to be? FYI, I am a year away from retirement at age 60 and value dividend income for a portion of my portfolio.

Q: Hello,
Question regarding the 30 day rule on repurchasing a stock that was sold for a capital loss. I sold Enb.to for a small capital loss in a non registered account.
If I decide to re-purchase the stock within the 30 day period I understand that the capital loss is not allowed, as I sold for a very small loss that really does not matter.
My question is; what if any any other penalty or other issue to consider before re-purchasing (my example enb.to) for a much lower price than I sold it for?

Thanks,
Randy D

Q: These companies are trading at close to 10% yield. The share price is back to where they were ten years ago and the dividends have since doubled. Are these companies not the buy of a generation right now? In my life I will likely never see these valuations again. Or I missing something huge??

Q: In response to questions regarding pipeline companies, you stated that they depended on volumes rather than price but that if E&P companies shut in production or go bankrupt, volumes could suffer. Do you really think that Canada may have excess pipeline capacity?

Q: The above pipeline companies are still declining. With declining interest rates I might have expected them to recover at least somewhat after the recent sharp declines. What is your perspective on these continuing price declines? Do you think the dividends are reasonably secure?

Q: Any idea why ppl which currently yields 5.27% was down last week while the above other defensive stocks were up?

Q: It looks as though utilities, and renewable utilities in particular, have taken off, while Canadian pipelines, which are also traditionally stable investments, are either flat or dropping.
Do you have any comments on whether:
1. this is a short term disparity or a fundamental shift,
2. whether one group is better than the others at current prices, and
3. If the recent drop now otherwise creates a good point of entry for any or all?
