Q: I've owned ALA for quite some time now at a large loss. Would it make sense to sell for tax loss and purchase ALA.R? Would you happen to know if this would be allowable?

Thanks,

Q: What do you think of a strategy to buy convertible debentures from GSY as well as Altagas Receipts as additional investments to match against margin borrowings - they cover the margin interest for twice the amount invested in them.
It is possible the banks increase their interest rate even if Bank of Canada does not. How do you expect these two securities to react?
Also, how can one buy the GSY debentures - my investments are managed with a self directed brokerage account.

Q: hi 5i just purchased ala.r through my investerline acc its showing the dividend yield at 2.34%. Not 6.9 % as the ala dividend, when purchasing i thought they were the same can you enlighten me

Q: ala subscription receipts are they still a good idea , if so were can you get them

Q: looking back it looks like ALA and IPL have been base building for about 15 months. Is that significant or is the price of crude the only factor in the pricing? What does your reply say about the viability of technical factors in stocks like IPL and ALA?

Q: My birthday always prompts an RRSP review and the magic age of 71 is not that far away so I am slowly transitioning from equities to safer, dividend yields as I won't need the funds for quite a while after I have to convert to a RRIF.
I have just initiated good positions in Hydro One and the new ECN preferred. I am looking at Enbridge and Altagas for at least a ten year hold and would be happy with just the dividend. I already have a good chunk of Interpipeline.
Are pipelines in particular and dividend companies in general looking at significant headwinds with interest rates slated to rise, probably quite a bit, over my ten year plus timeframe. I'm looking for investments that I can park and collect without undue concern.
If not them, then who, with the criteria outlined?
Thank you.
Steven

Q: I'm starting an income portfolio. What do you think of 5% in each of the above? Thanks.

Q: Gooday I have a 3.6% weighting in Gei. I also have a 4% weighting in Altagas. Should I add more Gibson on q1 release?

Regards

Q: hello 5i:
I'm looking at a possible upgrade for our portfolio, as almost all energy names are down (and substantially), to date. Please rank the following, best to worst, using dividend, safety and growth in that order as criteria. This is a long term hold, so > 3 years. And would ALA be a better fit in the Utilities sector than energy?
thanks

Q: hi. im looking to add 3 names to my dividend portfolio. can you rank these names for me for best investment choice for long term play and safety.

Q: Hi Team 5i,

I have been patiently awaiting the recovery of the O&G sector. I am under water on the list of 9 stocks listed. I have been patient and have harvested dividends and DRIPed in the meantime (bank brokerage DRIPing). But with the current US admin and shift to renewable energy sources, I am concerned that the recovery may be a long time (decades ?) away. My question is ... if I chose to sell a few of the above stocks, which do you think might be the poorist performers given the current energy environment and therefore could have the longest time to recover).

Q: I owned these stocks.I would like to know the potential in the next 6 months ?

Q: Team,
Just like your thoughts on the listed stocks and which you would add ( in some order of preference) to an existing portfolio skewed to secure dividends and modest growth with a target 7-8% combined dividend and growth. Conversely is any one a definite NO.
Thx

Q: I am overweight Financials and am considering reducing my weight and re-investing the funds in either ALA or ENF. What are your thoughts between ENF or ALA ?

Q: Hi Peter &Ryan
I held ipl in a reg account for many years and now appears to be range bound .my thoughts are to exit the position and move on .
Any thoughts for a replacement?
Kind regards
Stan

Q: I have had Altagas for over 4 years. I would like your opinion, should I sell or look for something better and if so what do you suggest.

In my US portfolio I have four stocks of which 22% are GE, would this be a good time to add more GE
