Q: Hello. One ENF share is being offered as 0.729 of an Enbridge share (ENB today at $47.12). ENF price should be 0.7029 x$47.12=$33.12 as to the agreement. ENF is now $33.95. Why is ENF trading so much higher than the conversion rate (2.5% higher)? Is there a reason behind it? Is it because ENF has a higher monthly dividend? Also do you have an idea of the exact date ENF will be converted into ENB shares? Thanks as always.

Q: Hello, I am a young retiree in my sixties I have a portfolio focused on growth while promoting dividends. I would like to add to the titles mentioned so that they reach 5% of the portfolio. Could you place them in order of preference according to these criteria with a horizon of 3 to 5 years. Feel free to suggest reducing or eliminate any of them to free some cash to add to others. Thank you

Q: Hi all at 5i, I have about 45k invested with only 5k in cash. I own all of the above names and was wondering if you were to free up some cash which of these stocks would you trim. If you think 5k in cash is enough, do you think any of these names would be good to trade for another name? Do you have any concerns over any of these names at this moment in time.

Feel free to deduct as many points as necessary.

Thanks,
Dan

Q: This is a follow up question to Dorothy‘s question yesterday where she asked:
BNS is down 4.70%, ENB is down 9.22% and KWH.UN is down 38.20% ... Buy a new stock and if so can you give me some suggestions.

My feeling is that if a company is strong (eg ENB in the latest report) and the price is low, it is a good buy. If the company is questionable (KWH.UN for some reason recently) and possibly faltering, it is a risky buy. But your answer was “We don't like adding to stocks on a decline.”

Could you please clarify what you mean? I find the answer quite confusing, whereas your answers are usually very helpful.

Thanks.

Q: Hi,
As a follow up to Loretta's question today (the 23) about your 3 favorite canadian utility stocks. You listed Enbridge, Brookfield Renewable, and Algonquin. Your referral of those makes me happy since they are the 3 I already own. To me they all seem to be in different parts of the sector though. Would you be concerned if the total weighting got to 10 or 12 percent combined for all 3? I use all DRIPS I can and have a long time to wait (I'm only 32). What would be your max total weighting between for the 3? I have no plans for adding other utilities anytime soon. Do you have a order of favorites for these 3 where you would allow one to gain more weight over another?

Thanks

Q: Hi
Do you know when ENB plans to buy ENF? And, please advise your favorite Canadian dividend grower that yields over 4.5 %. I, like others, will be overweight ENB when this deal consumates. So I will need a replacement. Thanks Frank
