Investment Q&A

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

Q: You have noted utilities may face interest rate headwinds if the US increases in December, or early in 2016. Interpipeline and Pembina reported solid results and it seems their businesses are growing and IPL raised their dividend again. Both have already fallen by more than one-third from their 2014 highs. Are current share prices a ceiling for these companies or will their six percent yields continue to attract investors and eventually raise the share prices closer to where they were before the oil price meltdown? Second, if oil does ever get back into the $70's or higher, will these companies participate strongly in the expected rally?
Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i Peter and Team, I need to diversify, I have not rebalanced in years!
I currently own AD, BMO, DH, IPL, MCD, WCP. What stocks would you recommend to add to this list for more diversity over the next 6 months. I like dividend payers but do not need income yet. I am comfortable with a certain amount of risk.
Thank You

Q: Interpipeline (IPL) raised it's dividend substantially in November '14 and raised it a record 18 cents or about 13% yesterday while reporting record revenues. Analysts expected more but is it possible they expected too much? This company has delivered stellar results since March 2009 when I bought it at $8,40. Would you agree and still buy it today?
How does Northland Power (NPI)look for dividend safety and possibly some capital gains?
Thank you.

Q: Hi, Further to Paul's question on IPL. In a RRIF still showing a capital gainon IPL would it be wise to unload it and turn to other sectors for income, possibly CSH.UN? What would you recommend for income now? Sold ALA yesterday thankfully. This market is starting to feel like 2008. Thanks for the excellent service.

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

In the current sell-off in the energy sector, is IPL worth holding? I was thinking to sell it to lock in a rather substantial gain of over 40%. The portfolio is well balanced, but it's always nice to take a profit, or is it? I was also thinking that the commodity sector is perhaps not the place to "buy and hold". Your timely advice and service is greatly valued.

Q: Pipeline stocks have been hammered with the rest of the energy space. Is their business model threatened by lower commodity prices or do they remain the steady cash-flow generators they have always been. I thought this would be a great place to hide but, apparently, not.
IPL has gone down the most but they recently cut the discount on their DRIP and discontinued their premium DRIP. Doesn't that indicate they don't need the money and are in solid shape. Finally, is it their European division that is giving investors more to worry about?
Thanks.
