Q: TRP’s share volume in NY was 108% above daily average volume today. Is this related to conversion of preferred shares to common? Share price has also declined for several months. Is TRC a good addition to a portfolio that is overly aggressive, and where the investor wants to add some securities to make things less uneven? What are TRP’s prospects vs. KMI and ET. Do you prefer either of KMI and ET over TRP (ignoring dividend tax credit) ?

Q: I'm looking for a stable long term hold with some growth and a generous dividend to complement my Enbridge holding? These are all US holdings, do I have to worry about special withholding taxes? Are they suitable for RRSP's?

Q: I have been following KMI for some time. I did own it at one time but sold it on a pop and have been waiting for an opportunity to get back in. Since then, it has been having a good run while paying a substantial dividend. I am wondering if you think there is still opportunity in this name or if I have missed it and should look elsewhere.
Your thoughts will be appreciated along with any alternative suggestions.
