Q: I have owned this stock since I bought it at $16. It is now at the absolute high it ever was and I am wondering if it would be a good idea to switch to Northland Power for a better chance of capital gain. The div. would be the same since I can buy double the shares or would it be smarter to sell half of EMA and invest the proceeds into either Northland or Algonquin. I do not own any other power utility. Thank you for your great service provide over the years. H.
P.S. Someone is selling $750 m worth of shares and should that bring the price down somewhat?

I have a collection of failed stocks and $200,000 in cash sitting in 1 1/2% interest cash in my RSP .Yesterday I committed to buying the NPI offering , but my broker says I can change that to my margin acct or TFSA if I do it right away . If I clean it up , what equity names might you suggest for my RSP and where should the NPI go ? With 5% yield , is it an income stock ?

Thankyou ...

Q: Hi there,

I own a position in AQN and would like two of these 5 in a balanced portfolio. This would be for an extremely long term hold. Which 2 would you prefer and why please?

Q: Good morning,
As an income investor, I have the following utility holdings that amount to about 12% of my non-registered holdings: FTS (up 10%), EMA and NPI (breaking even) and ALA (down 50%). I have no need to sell any of these and enjoy the dividends, but as a conservative senior and in a rising interest rate environment do you think it would be prudent to unload/reduce some of them or just hang on? If sell/reduce which should be the first to go?

Q: I am largely an income investor and hold the above stocks for their dividends. I am concerned that some of them may have high levels of debt and will be negatively impacted by higher interest rates. Can you advise which are the most and least indebted companies, and whether higher interest charges could threaten their dividends? Thanks.
