Q: I am interested to know your thoughts about US MLPs for Canadian investors. One that’s been on my radar for a while is energy transfer partners. Could you please address the tax issue related to what a Canadian investor must be careful of, or which account would be better to hold an MLP in. In addition, could you list 3 to 5 MLPs that pay wonderful dividends that you would recommend?

Q: Hey 5i,
Thinking about my pipeline exposer in the US. I would like to know your favorite and what you think of kinder and Plains. Great service you have.

Q: We have held BCE for many years in a RRIF account, generally for income (position size about 2%). Yes the dividend is great and likely to continue, but our position is now showing an unrealized loss close to 25%. I am thinking of selling and moving on to another opportunity that will provide better growth and returns. Comments please. Maybe the money is better placed in GOOGL, also in the communications sector? Or possibly into another USA dividend position? In our two RRIF's we hold ABBV, MSFT, PAGP, BTI. Rio Tinto, along with Canadian companies: MFC, WCP, BNS, TD, LIF, BIP.UN, AD.UN and USCL (for income). Growth may be a higher priority than income. Overall portfolio weightings for all six accounts combined is approximately 50% Canadian and 50% USA plus International. RRIF accounts are relatively small in value compared with non registered accounts
