Investment Q&A

Q: "TC Energy intends that the initial combined dividends of the two companies will be equivalent to TC Energy’s annual dividend immediately prior to the completion of the Transaction, and that over time the combined value of the two companies’ dividends is expected to remain consistent. Dividends will be at the discretion of the respective boards of directors of each company following the Transaction."
Does that mean they will split the dividend? e.g. old dividend 8%. New dividend 4% each company?

Q: WHEN TC ENERGY SPLITS ITS SHARES, WHICH STOCK AND COMPANY DO YOU KEEP?

Q: I have a 5% holding of TRP in my income orientated non registered account , now at a 10% loss. I have a tendency to hold on to declining stocks for too long. Spin outs complicate my fairly
concentrated portfolio used to fund my retirement. What do you expect share price reaction to be over the period until spin out ? Any ideas on replacement ? I want to stay away from energy infrastructure and already own BEPC.
Thanks. Derek

Q: Can you please explain how the spit will be a tax free transaction?

Q: I am looking to raise some cash from my RRSP by selling 1 or 2 of the companies named. Please rank the companies from best candidate to sell to best to hold onto with a few supporting comments. Always appreciated. ram

Q: I suspect TRP will settle in over the next few weeks, but has any of the recent developments changed your view on the safety of the dividend?

Q: The splitting into gas and liquids components is not impressing the market, seems more like shuffling the deck chairs. I've owned TRP for many years at a good profit which has now become a small loss and am considering selling. Any sage advice?

Q: This company is in a free fall. Is it a good time to get in?

Great yield.

TY

Q: Thoughts on today's announcement regarding TRP?

Q: Hello,

Looking to add to my current positions in these companies (registered account, 10+ year time frame). If you could please rank them in order of potential upside that would be great (and if there is a company you would stay away from, please indicate).

Thanks!

Q: Hi, We have held a full position in ENB for many years and added a 1.5% position in TRP about a year ago, at $60-61, in a Non-Regd account, for Income/Growth.The investment, however, has been a huge disappointment. The endless cost issues with Coastal Link pipeline project and no clear timeline is now widely known. Are you aware of any catalysts in the near future ?

Over numerous comments, you have clearly indicated your preference for ENB and there being no particular need to own both companies. Based on the current scenario, would you support moving out of TRP ? Now or wait for the quarterly results ?

And, if we decide to sell the whole position ( and at least book the capital loss), what would be a reasonable price level you would use?

Thank You

Q: Hi All,
I have recently bought TRP and it has been falling ever since. I don't know whether I should continue to hold on to it and hope that this downward trend will reverse itself or sell and move on to something with more momentum?
Will the completion of the Keystone Pipeline inspire some upward movement in the stock? Also is the dividend safe?
Thanks for your valued opinion.
Jane

Q: I would like to take some profits from WSP and add to my existing dividend positions such as ENB, RY, SLF, Telus or TRP.
Please let me know your preferred Div Stock out of above list.
Thank you as always

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Can you please compare Pembina to TC Energy? Pembina seems to have been more conservative in terms of leverage and have a similar yield and a pretty range bound stock versus TRP which just keeps sliding.

Pembina seems to have some good strategic growth ahead of it here and TRP makes me wonder if they are chasing shiny things instead of what works and I wonder if they have the money to fund these projects.
Thoughts?

Q: TC Energy. There is a lot of talk about when the new pipeline in Canada will come online. When it does come online and provided there aren't any more delays, how much can we equate this to cash flow of the short - medium term? is it material?

Q: As a TRP dividend investor of 77 years old are the problems with the XL pipeline already baked? As I am a value investor for the most part would you suggest a switch to PPL or other suggestion? I have a 5 - 8 year time frame. I also hold ENB, SU, XOM and CVX as well as NXF as the energy part of my portfolio.

Q: Hi 5i Team, I'm a retired dividend investor supported by portfolio dividends.

Currently, I'm holding positions in ENB and TRP for my pipeline weighting. I'm concerned about the lagging performance of TRP. What are your thoughts on trading TRP for PPL? Alternatively could also consider GEI or KEY.

Can you please list your favorite pipeline selections in order of growth and safety?

I like to hold 2 sector companies for diversification. Also, as TRP has been flat there are no cap gains. Please advise.

Thank you.

Q: Dividends of these companies are interesting for a retiree. I have money to put in two of them. Favoring Enbridge. In between the two other two, PPL with is involvement with the LNG in Kitimat I would be inclined. TRP I'm certain would be fine except for their problem with Line 5. What's your take on this.

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor.....this is a "timing" question.

I am close to topping up TRP...no panic to do so.....got a couple of questions.

#1 = I believe TRP reports in August 02/23.....wait for them to report?

#2 = Coastal Gas Link project....I went searching and read their May 31 update. I was looking for something to give me an idea about "on time and on budget"...came up with zip.

Do you have any more current info? At under $54, it looks like a good price to add. However, if waiting for another 6 weeks might bring some clarity and/or an even better price, then I'm ok to wait.

Got any insight?

Thanks...Steve

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I am looking at topping up existing positions in BCE, BNS, TRP over the next 1-3 months, as funds become available.

Please rank them in order of :
a) Value (based on where their P/E (or whatever the appropriate metric) is currently vs over time),
b) Potential capital upside.
Any thoughts on technicals and seasonality would be appreciated.
My own thoughts are to add to TRP first, then BNS, then lastly BCE.

Thanks for your help....Steve
