Investment Q&A

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

Q: Peter; Further to Richards question - not being a finance guy - if they’re spinning out 60% does this not reduce their WGL ownership and impact the cash needed for the ALA dividend? It was supposedly accretive when purchased but wouldn’t that now be less accretive? Thanks. Rod

Q: Hi, as a long term income investor I am getting very tempted by ALA’s increasingly attractive yield as the stock trends lower. However, at around 9% is this a warning that the dividend is potentially at risk of being cut. IWhat do you think is the probability? At the same time ALA is a large company in a relatively stable industry and has made an attractive acquisition? Your thought? Thanks.

Q: About ALA, FTN, PIC-A, how safe are those dividends ? For income would you buy any ? If so in which order. If none are buyable which other high dividends payers would you recommend ?
Already own over 20 dividend payers but mostly are under 5% except BYP, KWH, BEP, NWH.
Thanks for your help.

Q: Thinking of selling altagas. Concerned about dividend at 2.19 or about 9% with earnings at about .89 for 2018 and about 1.30 projected 2019.
Hear not favorable comments on BNN but read what I believe favorable as investment with you.
Can't see dividend remaining sustainable. What am I missing is this worth hanging on. Appreciate your comments. Thanks

Q: I would like to reduce my utility / infrastructure holdings by one or two names. These are all partial positions except for FTS, which is full. Could you rank 1 - 7 in terms of keep:sell or just suggest one or two sell candidates? Thank-you.

Q: Hi there, I owned ala.r which were converted into ala. On my statements, the firm took back all the dividend income I received from March to July of this year (even though it was supposed to be interest income, not dividend income). I got a return of capital and interest equaling the dividend amount clawed back. The vast majority was ROC, with minuscule interest. Ala.r was supposed to pay an equivalent amount of interest to holders of ala.r as the dividend was. So since March 18 I did not receive that, just a little interest. The way I calculate it, Alta gas got the use of my investment for five months basically free. Do you agree. Tx. John
