Q: Peter; I have my cynic hat on this morning after reading that the short interest in ENB increased by 5.7 million shares or 18.3 %. Then this AM we have the huge equity issue. Is it in the realm of plausibility that the dealers who did the deal were also the cause for the short increase? Seems a good way to lock in a profit. Thanks.Rod

Q: Please comment on the impact of today's big share dilution on the previously announced multi- year double digit dividend growth plan.
Q: Can I have your thoughts on Enbridge after their recent earnings announcement. The fact that their dividend increases may be less than announced in 2014 causes some concern. I am interested in this security as a long term hold. Thank You.
Q: I was notified this a.m. that ENB reported 2015 FY results. Your thoughts?
Thanks

Q: Hi, can I have your updated thoughts on the following pipelines: IPL, ENB or its income fund, and TRP. Which ones are of better value to you right now? And future Growth? Would you know the payout ratios for each and are they sustainable? Are LNG exports looking positive in your views and for these positive? Thanks!
Q: Hope everyone enjoyed the cruise and that it wasn't as choppy as markets!
My question is on Covered Calls in the CDN market and I wonder if you would have 5 stocks to suggest for this strategy. I note that using this strategy in the US market … AAPL, CSCO, DIS have way more activity and choices, but I like this idea for CDN stocks that I already own, per the suggestions from 5i.
Your thoughts please, and welcome back to reality.

Q: Hello. How do you think Enbridge will fair over then next 1 to 2 years? Do you think it likely the volume of oil moved through their pipelines will decrease (tied to the possibility that Canadian oil producers reduce output from more expensive sources)? It certainly seems like a bad time to sell or trim ENB, but that only remains true if there is a hope for a turn around in that 1 to 2 year timeframe. Thanks so much.
Q: Hello,
If already owned, at this point would you suggest adding more to the ENB position or add some (sector) diversification with other names?
If other name what are your top 2-3 preferences?
Thanks

Q: Enbridge announced 14% increase of dividends and dropped like a rock 3%. Last year ENB about the same time announced about 30% dividend increase and shot up 20%.
So increase is an increase, why the reaction is totally different from last year ?
Do you see any other bad news today and going forward >

Q: What is your opinion on ENB.TO 6 -12 months out ? It seems to be sliding to no end.

Q: I am retired and am mainly looking for income and some growth. I own TRP, ALA, IPL and PPL. I am down on ALA, IPL and PPL. I am thinking of selling IPL and PPL for a capital loss to offset some gains and replace them with ENB. While the dividend will be lower with ENB, I am thinking it will have more overall growth, including dividend growth. Thoughts ?
Q: I've been sitting on some cash in my NR lately and would like to pick up some new companies, presently, I am holding CSU, BNS, SYZ, FSZ, BEP and SJ. (equal weights + or -). I'm looking at AYA, ENB, ET,STN,DH,SLF,CPD and SPB. I'd prefer to buy something on sale with a dividend but primarily, I only want to hold high quality companies. Proportionally, I should be able to pick up approx. 4 new positions. Thanks
Q: Can you shed some light on why Enbridge has been beaten down the past few days? Is it a good time to add at these prices or do you foresee more downside. Thanks
Q: For a LIF where the objective is income and capital retention which is the best investment ENB or ENF. And is now a good time to invest in this sector?
Q: I FIND ALL OF THESE PREFFEREDS TO HAVE GREAT DIVIDENDS AT CURRENT PRICES,ALL WERE ISSUED AT $25.00.AT SOME POINT IN THE FUTURE SHOULD THERE VALUE NOT RETURN TO OR NEAR ISSUE PRICE ?OR IS THERE SOMETHING I AM MISSING
Q: I need to add to utilities sector to re-balance my portfolio. You have been recommending Enbridge as the best bet in utilities, is it still the case? In fact, I can add either CDN or US company (have free cash in both accounts), so I am also considering KMI.US - I like the dividend and the stats seems to be better than for CDN utilities. If you had to choose one utilities stock in Canada or US based on a combo of dividend and growth, which one would it be? Dividend is not that important for me at the moment, but it's always nice.
Q: Team
Why does the market cheer everytime Enbridge moves assets down to the income fund? To me it is just financial engineering.
The whole company is worth the same but the parts are moved around.
Enbridge keeps adding debt with new projects but still trades at a premium due to its stellar past. What am I missing?

Q: Would appreciate your input regarding Patrick Horan's recommendation to short Enbridge. This is based on it's high debt load and the consequent effect of a rising rate environment. I know it has been repeatedly targeted but if rates do rise do you see a downside?
