Q: IPL down quite a bit today. Is there news or is it oil price related? what is the relationship between pipelines and oil price? I would have thought that pipelines make money moving oil and if the price of oil is down, then wouldn't more oil (or at least the same amount) of oil move? Or is the fear that some projects have/will be cancelled because of the low oil prices?

Hoping your can clear this up for me (and likely others). Thanks.

Q: 10:16 AM 12/10/2014
Hello Peter
I am looking for safety of dividends and dividend growth, with some share price growth too, and can add about 1% to an existing position.
I am considering adding to one of :

Chartwell CSH.UN - I have a 0.1% starter position..... yield 4.6%.
Emera EMA - I have a 2.0% position........ yield 4.04%.
Enbridge ENB - I have a 2.4% position............yield about 3.07 after latest increase.
Enbridge Income Fund ENF - I have a 5% position............... yield 4.48%.

Which has the least liklihood of a dividend cut, and which would you pick, and why would you choose the one you do.
Thank You ....... Paul K

Q: I note that AHF have $7.1B in AUM while Gluskin Sheff have $8.1B (only $1B more) but GS trades at ~$28 while AHF is only ~$0.88. It seems to me that some wealth management firm could pick up an easy $7B in AUM for a cheap price buy buying AHF.
(1) Why the discrepancy ?
(2)Is there a metric such as AUM per share that applies to Wealth Management companies to determine their value?

Q: Hello Peter,
I am thinking of selling half of my googl shares to buy sandvine or keep the googl, but sell half of dhx media to buy sandvine. DHX has done well for me ,but googl has been flat. I know it is not an apple to apple comparison, but am looking to switch rather than add new money to buy sandvine. Any comments? Thanks again.

Q: If your belief is that from the bottom of this oil rout some oil equities will double in 24 months time from now, what would be the global names, not just canadian names, you might suggest? Or do you think it's better to buy a global diversified ETF of medium to large cap oil producers? Thank you for your time.

Q: There has been increased trading volume and stock price over the last week. I cannot find any news to explain this, am I missing something? A compensation repayment for cancelled lease by the Alberta government is pending and has been for quite some time. I have been holding on to the stock for a few years. Would you continue to hold or sell?

Q: Your opinion on how much lower oil will go if the Saudis keep flooding the market and how long? Will all equities go lower if oil goes lower? When buying bonds in one's portfolio do you recommend ETFs or the bonds themselves and hold to maturity?
