Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: PPL (Pembina Pipelines) is asking its shareholders for permission to issue new classes of preferred shares to finance expansion and special projects. Do you think there is a strong liklihood this will reduce the dividend rate on common shares? If yes, should I get out now? PPL has given me 36% on my investment in the last year, so I don't want to bail out unless I have to.

Q: Today (24/Jan/13) you answered a question (from Sam) comparing 2 pipelines (PPL & IPL.UN) for growth & dividends. You favoured PPL for higher dividend & faster expected earnings. I see the higher dividend but PPL also has a higher P/E (from Globe & Mail) - wouldn't that make it more expensive? or does one compare the P/Es to the Forward P/Es to determine expected growth on earnings? Please could you explain.
