Investment Q&A

Q: Hello! If you had to pick one, which would you side with and why?

Q: Now that the IPL,PPL combo is off the table which of the three has the best prospects going forward? Thanks Ron

Q: I hold both these stocks in a RRSP account. Is this a duplication. I like the yield on both . Thoughts

Q: Hello 5i Team,

If interest rates were too rise, how would you rank these pipeline companies in regards to their debt levels and their potential future growth.

I appreciate you response as all ways.

Ed

Q: Looking to add another pipeline for my Rif account. Have ENB already. Can you rate them in terms of dividend sustainability and modest growth, please and thanks.

Q: I hold both Interpipeline and Pembina. If the PPL takeover of IPL goes through, I will have a bit more PPL than I am comfortable with, and would consider moving a portion to a company in a similar space. Assuming the deal happens, how would you rate the combined PPL/IPL compared to similar alternatives ENB, KEY, TRP. Could you give a rating for each of the 4 on a scale of 1 -10 for desirability as a long term hold in a balanced portfolio. Looking at total return over a 5 - 10 year period. Thanks.

Q: An analysts recently warned off on PPL. He cautioned that PPL using a reduction in dividends, might develop a planned but delayed refinery. Something along the lines of what IPL is doing with Heartland.
Would you trade all, some or any, of a long term and large percentage holding in PPL for TRP ?

Q: Of these 3 companies, what would the order in which you would invest (as of today)?

Q: Hi Folks,
I have MFC in my RRSP account and it's been relatively flat since I bought it despite a good earnings report - I am thinking of switching to TRP - can I have your opinion please. Stick with MFC or go with TRP?
Thanks

Q: What do you think about TC Energy's latest quarter?

With the current valuation do you think it's a good time buy in?

Q: I have had a nice recovery in the pipelines that I hold (IPL TRP PPL ENB). I am contemplating selling one of them and buying BEP.UN. do you think this is a good idea? and if yes which one would you sell? many thanks Richard

Q: What do you think of this twenty stock dividend portfolio for a taxable account? I am focusing on high quality and it yields about 3.8% . Any changes you would make?

Q: Supposing the US enacts an effective climate change policy, shouldn't gas do better than oil/coal/tarsands, etc? If so, who among Canadian energy processors/transporters should realize the greatest benefit?

Q: I am considering either ENB or TRP as an income investment. Could you provide the dividend payout for each, and the percentage of gas vs oil in their pipelines. There is a lot of news about the potential closing of Enbridge line 5 in Michigan, and the affect on Canadians. But, what is the affect on the company? What percentage of their business depends on line 5 , and what are their alternatives if it is closed? Is TRP facing any similar challenges (aside from Keystone XL)? Which company do you prefer looking strictly at dividend sustainability and potential dividend growth?
Thank-you

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on the trades Iwas considering selling rsi,cae,aqn buy mg with the proceeds. Sell trp buy cnr. Sell sis,spb buy mg
Thanks for your help

Q: There are a lot of prices outside of Tech, that are higher today than 2 - 5 Yrs ago. The ratings on a lot of these individual stocks, can also vary from "strong buy" to "overvalued". Given what we are going through with Covid, this has me concerned.
I really just want the dividend's and the original investment back, in say 15 Years. How ill advised would I be, to drop down to the above and maybe a few more like them. I will not out live hydrocarbons.
Thanks

Q: Hi,
How would you rank the 3 pipeline companies in regards to safety of dividend, revenue growth and dividend growth.
Thank you
Ed

Q: If you had to buy and hold either TRP or ENB for the next five years, taking into account safety of capital and potential growth, which would you choose? Or, would it be a better strategy to buy and hold both?

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. A question earlier today has motivated me to finally ask this question....been thinking of it for quite a while. It had to do with potential rising interest rates and your response was that dividend investors should be prepared for a bumpy ride in the short term (my paraphrase of your answer).

I own the above securities and for the most part trim-add around core positions that I hold for the long term. Is it possible to divide the above securities into two camps....one that would be "ok" in a rising interest rate environment and the other that I should consider trimming a bit or maybe selling? I am ok riding things out for the long term and do not normally react to short term volatility.

Thanks for your help....Steve
