Q: I have IPL 2.3% and PPL 3.9% in a taxable account. Held them for years and I am about breakeven not counting the dividend. I am thinking of selling IPL and buying ENB. Would this be good idea for the long term?
Q: Hi,
Further to your reply: "ENB pays its dividend in Canadian dollars. You could buy it in the US, in a US account, and dividends would be converted, but you would incur exchange fees.
Rather than looking at this strategy, we might instead holding some US exposure in general, for general diversification, and avoid trying to predict currency movements"
Since I'm seeking USD income, I'm looking for the biggest bang for my buck (so the Dividend Tax Credit is something I would want to take advantage of). Would my strategy work with something like a ENB.PR.U (USD preferred)? Or does the same currency conversion issue occur. Thanks again.

Q: Dear 5i,
If I wanted USD income from a company like Enbridge, would I need to buy the stock on the NYSE and hold it in my USD trading account?
Would it pay the quarterly dividend in USD? With the CAD strengthening, is this a good strategy?
Thank you.

Q: I hold ENF. I recall that, in the past, you have expressed a preference for ENB - perhaps the former being more for income and the latter being more for growth. Is this correct? Is there any other reason to prefer one over the other? (Perhaps I should consider switching.)
Q: I invest for dividends, dividend growth and some growth in stock price. I am currently holding ala but am thinking of switching enb or enf. Would you make this switch and if so which Enbridge holding ? I have a diversified portfolio.
Thank you and thanks for providing this great service

Q: Over the past 12 months the charts of both companies show a distinct downward trend -- seems to be correlated with price of oil.
Shouldn't the stocks trade more the volume of oil & gas that moves through their pipes?

Q: I'm 84 and depend on dividends for income. In the Utility category I have AQN, EMA, BEP.UN. I'd like to add a couple more to this. Can you suggest a few that I can check out. Thanks, Ted
Q: I am becoming interested in Enbridge as it gets close to 50 dollars. I was trying to find the payout ratio and I found it on a site it was paying out 102%. Is this correct? I find this hard to believe as everyone like to recommend this stock which would not wise if it cant cover dividend. Where do I find accurate pay out ratios?
Q: I'm setting up an income portfolio. What would you think of ENB, IPL, ALA, PEY, and Vet comprising 10% of the portfolio? The utility sector will be 15%, as in a separate question.
Q: Hi, I am looking to pick either ENB or ALA for utility sector. from dividend and valuation perspective, ALA looks far more attractive.
I would appreciate if you can provide a comparison of the two and your preference.

Q: my question regards our holding 2.5% in enb and 2.5% in ala both pay wonderful dividends but both are down about 6% in our portfolio...would you keep these both these stocks or remove one of them ...we also own a 1% weighting in wcp in energy but a 4% weighting in kwh.un and vnr...this is not a burning question but one that we feel possibly needs to be addressed and you are the people that know best so thank you for your advise...
Q: Hi Peter and Gang,
IPL is currently trading at a much lower P/E ratio (18X, 6.3% dividend yield) than PPL (35X, 4.8%) and ENB (50x, 4.9%). Would you please comment on what may have contributed to this.
Cheers,
Harry

Q: As a conservative investor/retiree with a diversified portfolio looking for income and some growth, I am considering Enbridge (now own TRP). Sources mention Enbridge's pipeline of growth opportunities and anticipated 10% - 12% annual dividend increases through 2024. These projections "feel" optimistic, given the large debt taken on to acquire Spectra? Does 5i feel the debt/equity mix was appropriate on the Spectra purchase? Does 5i see any reason to be concerned about "culture clash" between the management groups or other integration risk? Thank you for your comments. Edward
Q: Could you pls. provide your current thinking about the Canadian pipeline and related services sector?
Which companies would be in your top 3 and how would you rate today's buying opportunity? My historical context is that PE's are lofty and yields were low but are improving as sector stock values decline. At what point would your top choices be a compelling buy as a long term hold for the income oriented investor?
Thanks, Hugh
