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 am puzzled as to why the pipeline stocks have been dropping substantially over the last few days. I would have expected these companies to hold up quite well as they are basically a toll road for oil and gas with a good dividend. I considered pipeline stocks as a good defensive holding. What am I missing?

Q: Hi,
I've been very careful in the last year with stock market at all time high and I've been building a relatively high position in utilities in my portfolio and I am clearly overweight in utilities. I know that timing the market perfectly is impossible but at what point in time would you suggest to start unloading utilities? Do you think that there is still some upside in these names due the Tariffs and the associated panic in the market? If you had 3 companies to sell now in my list which companies would you unload first. Thank you!
