Q: With Bank of Canada cutting interest rates and oil up, why would pipelines be lower? Shouldn't this also be good for telcos/pipelines/reits or are institutions positioning themselves in cyclicals for new a economic cycle so these rate dependent areas areas are under pressure. I have noticed Pembina was doing well but has been consistently down for many days. Thank you!

Q: In my RRif I own Key & PPl, high yielding stocks to help cover forced withdrawals.
They declined on Friday despite a drop in bond yields.
So you think the decline was due to a drop in Wti?
Trump intends to increase tariffs which could result in higher interest rates due to inflation and his energy policy could lead to lower oil prices.
As a result of the above should I reduce key & Ppl & invest the proceeds into companies that will benefit from higher interest rates such as Mfc & Slf

Q: a while back you preferred PPL over TRP that worked out nicely; thank you.
now TRP stock has recovered and pays higher dividend (so does ENB)
would you still keep PPL or now ENB/TRP has more upside (growth + div)
PPL + ENB is only 4% of my portfolio; I read ENB is benefiting from all the electricity demand so perhaps there is growth there?

Q: Good morning all;

I currently own 4 energy infrastructure firms in tax sheltered accounts; amounting to 7% weighting in my portfolio. As part of an overall portfolio review i've concluded I'd like to get that down to 2; for a combination dividends and growth. My question is - which would be your preferred 2 with these parameters.

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: Your comment on the tax issue regarding Ed’s question today regarding selling ENB to buy another pipeline is bang on. There are several considerations: for a stock to rise 25% to make the switch profitable is quite a challenge and may take years to accomplish ; the 2% differential in yield between ENB and PPL is a ( almost guaranteed) benefit received every quarter, not down the road when sold ; higher growth does not necessarily mean higher share price. Trades like this should only occur when something fundamentally and significantly has negatively happened to the company as many stocks in a sector correlate quite closely to one another. Please shot holes in my discussion. Thanks. Derek.
