Investment Q&A

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

Q: We are seeking income (although capital retention is also important) and wonder if we would be wise to sell IPL which you don't seem big on and replace it with BPY.UN which you seem to like. The sector is not too important as the portfolio has a good balance of pipelines and REIT's. Both companies mentioned have a very good yield.

Q: I, with a 10 year mandated hold, had planned to purchase IPL based on its dividend, depressed price and the potential of its polypropylene project. However your commentary on the company has caused me to reconsider. Would you please give me your preferred 'total-return' stocks in the pipeline/processing sector and the downside to IPL as a long term hold?
With appreciation

Q: Should I be starting to worry about this stock?
Am retired investor down $3.00 but that is OK as bought as long term investment for its dividend.
Is the dividend secure?
Are they running into problems/ cost overruns on plastics plant they are building,trouble getting financing or partnership for it?
I know anything to do with oil (especially in Canada) is acting poorly but IPL is lagging the pipeline sector.
In my RSP so tax loss available.
Is 3% of total RSP/TFSA/cash portfolio.
Does the street know something the average joe doesn't?
Comments / Suggestions?
Thanks
Derek

Q: I was stopped out on ENB a while ago but now would like to reenter the sector. Which pipeline company would you buy today for some growth as well as the steady dividend ?

Q: Has a dividend investor I hold shares of the above in in my registered and non registered accounts.
I have cash over and above my fixed income position. This extra cash is earmarked for a new position in a dividend stock paying a 4 to 7% div with growth prospects and at fare value and tax efficient. Might be a tall order , appreciate your help.

Q: Hi Guys:
I'm thinking of taking a position in IPL in my RRIF for the dividend and the potential for growth when the Heartland Project comes on stream in 2021. The dividend yield is high which can be a cause for concern and construction costs can get out of hand which would delay any increased profits. I think the dividend is good while waiting for share price to grow, looking to build a position this year for a long term hold,is there risk to the dividend & do you think that IPL can deliver the Heartland on budget and would you have any comment of management financial projections for this project.
Regards,
Tom

Q: Good morning,

Two questions this morning. Both are would you make the switch?

I have JNJ that I bought at the $65.00 range back in 2011I think. Would you sell and switch it to ABBV?? Or stay the course?

Same goes for PPL. I have owned it for quite a while and it has gone up nice. Would you switch it to IPL or stay the course?

Thanks

Q: Good Morning
Raymond James lowered their IPL target to $20 from $23 today with an underperform rating. The Street target is $25.
Do you foresee another fiasco with a substantial dividend cut like we saw with Alberta Gas? Would you recommend holding the stock or selling?
Thanks

Q: Good Morning

According to my broker's website IPL insiders performed the following transactions on December 31, 2018:

NATURE OF TRANSACTION SECURITY PRICE
Rights Exercise Rights Restricted Share Units $19.18

Over 140,000 share units were involved

Can you please explain as to what these transactions are all about ? Are they rights not exercised? Further are these transactions positive with respect to the activities of the insiders?

In general what is your opinion with respect to the activities of the IPL insiders?
Thank you as always for your insight.
