Q: Enb in my portfolio has a book value of $42.16
And a yield of 7%. It now represents 10% of my portfolio. This my largest position in a portfolio of $630000. I generally buy for dividend and growth. Maybe I should reduce my position in ENB and take a 5% position in another dividend paying stock with growth potential. eg. CM or other opportunities. Any suggestions.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.
Capital Power is selling a new issue of preferred shares (Series 11). They are rate-resets with a 5.75% coupon. As a dividend investor, I like this yield, but am wondering about the strength of CPX's balance sheet. Can you please comment on the company's overall debt load, strength of the balance sheet, and riskiness of this particular issue? Thanks!
