Investment Q&A

Q: Enb is recovering nicely from $40.50 on 3/7.Did U hear rumour of a financing coming soon.Txs for U usual great services & views

Q: Hi, 5I
On march 13 William asked you about Enbridge and the possibility of increasing his position. You mentionned ''positive momentum'' as a trigger for adding to the investment.
I am not familiar with what positive momentum entails, so I would like to take the Enbridge situation as a ''REAL'' example.
Enbridge reached a low of 40.38 on march 02, the stock is now at 42.45 (12-03 at 12.43)
Does this increase constitute ''positive momentum'' or would you wait more and particularily at what price would you consider any increase would be a positive momentum.
Thanks
CDJ

Q: amongst CU,EMA, ENB AND ACO,
A.please rank in order, best value buy and what metric is most appropriate for them in terms of assessing "value".
B. Also could you please give me some historical perspective on their value (always hard to decide on when to buy in given all of the recent drop.)

Q: I have a 1/2 position in ENB that is down 21%. Would it be ok to raise my position back up to a half position or up to a 3/4 position.

Thanks for all your advice.

Q: what caused the recent stock price drop?

Q: Purely, on the basis of which company has the best prospects for capital gains going forward, should I buy Enbridge or Fortis at these levels. Or should I take a position in both? Why?
As always, thanks for your valued opinion!

Q: Hello, just want to ckeck with you if my calculations of the debt / cash flow ratio of Enb is exact? I obtain a ratio of 9.2 and here is how I get it using data from Tmx Money: Long term debt of 60.8 B / Net cash from continuing operations of 6.6 B = 9.2 ratio. If that is what you have, are we in dangerous territory? Thanks, Gervais

Q: Good morning 5i team,

I was wondering what your view would be on the changes that the drop in a utility like enbridge might be finished or whether there is more to come. It is an attractive price at the moment. But, there are a number of rate hikes coming in the coming year. Would these already be written in, or is there more carnage to come? Just looking for an educated guess.
thanks

Q: At what point do you take enbridge out behind the barn and shoot it? Or is the flip side true and its becoming a screaming buy to be averaged into? I thought it was a steal at 48. Less than keen to watch it slide even further.

Q: i have roughly more than 100 thousand investment room in rrsp resp and TFSA. i am thinking buy some reit or stock?

pls help me>

appreciate.

Q: Current price $40.57(5yr low),6.62% yield(mainly due to drop in price,partly div.growth)& high $66b debt.A rising interest rate environment,which will be further aggravated if Trump impose tariffs.New York Fed Governor W Dudley stated"raising trade barriers would risk setting off a trade war,which could damage economic growth prospects around the world".Recently filed for potential mixed shelf offering.Will be dilutive & negative if sell shares @ such low price(remember CPG which keeps on issuing shares).However it does have $10b non core assets,of which $3/4b are to be sold In 2018.Have not heard of any sale,maybe not getting the desired price. I have 1/2 position @ $49,so add,hold or sell.Txs for u usual great services & views.

Q: How Spectra/ ENB issues of recently announced debentures impact the stock price and dividend of ENB in the short term (3 months) and long term (5 years).
Do you recommend ENB purchase at $40-41? Thank you,
Kam

Q: Hi 5i,
I have a pretty balanced RRSP with these stocks and FUND. I am only up with the FUND and BEP.UN. I have about $10, 000 to add to the mix. Should I buy in to any of the losing stocks, add a new one or wait and see . Possibly ranking the "losers" might help me.
Many thanks. I enjoy the Q & A daily.
Great coverage.
Cheers
Paul

Q: My question on ENB is that its earning is $1.66/sh., and its dividend is $2.68/sh., Do u think that a cut of dividend is forseeable like TRP in early 2000's? Thank you.

Q: Good afternoon,

If you had to choose either ENB or TRP right now for a longer-term hold, which one would you buy. Thx.

Q: This is a follow up on my earlier question on tax loss selling for Enbridge:
1) Aqn. I like it but is it really an equivalent of Enbridge? I can see how Trans canada could be, because it is pipe lines. But, I don't think Algonquin has pipelines. So, I imagine you are saying that it is not an exact replacement but close enough. Am I correct?
2) I am not great with calculations and would like to know how you calculate the 21 per cent that you mention. You speak about a high tax rate. What do you consider a high tax rate. It looks like 20 per cent here. Is that right?

thanks again

Q: On Feb 20 ENB filed for a potential mixed shelf offering;If it is selling shares @ this low price(think lowest for the last 3yrs) it will be dilution. & negative.It has $10b of non-core assets for sale of which $3/4 mil may be sold in 2018.What is going on.At one time almost all of guests on BNN recommend ENB,but more & more are not doing soBought @ $49.Txs for u usual great views & services

Q: Based on your answers to other questions, it appears you like ENB quite a bit but don't like ENF? Can you explain why? ENF has a very attractive dividend.

Q: This question has to do with tax loss selling on Enbridge. Currently I have a loss of 7 per cent or three thousand dollars. I am considering selling Enbridge to recuperate this loss and buy an equivalent. I was thinking,though, that Enbridge is so beaten up that no equivalent would rise as much as it if and when the tide turns. So, the question is whether it is worth it to make the switch? And if yes, what would be a good alternative?
thanks once again for great service

Q: I am sure you are getting tired answering questions about ENB. Well, here’s one more. For the past month, as ENB has dropped from $48 to $43, every analyst on the planet rates it a screaming buy. So, what is Mr. Market seeing that us mortals do not?
Thank you for your patience.
