Q: I wish to buy a defensive utility in a non-reg acct that will qualify for DTC (not sure if ETFs above qualify for DTC). I am aware of different div yields. Is there any significant difference in risks that stand out to you? Plse rank in your order of pref for purchase (already own EMA but would purchase more).

Q: Hi,
I read the Globe & Mail interview with Al Monaco this weekend and he makes no secret of the fact that Enbridge is on the hunt for an acquisition, or maybe more than one. The Spectra deal shows that he's not afraid to go big. With that in mind, could you identify some companies that might make suitable targets for Enbridge and, specifically, would Keyera belong on the list?
Thanks,
Peter

Q: There was a restructuring of Loblaws/G Weston back a while ago - can you please explain the changes. I held L and received WN shares. Can you please also direct me to the details for calculating ACB related to this. On a related note, what are the prospects for WN in the current environment - should I top up my WN or sell and buy more L?
Thank you.

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on purchasing some shares of ALC now that the unit price is below $10. I only own 100 shares bought at $15.92 six years ago in a TFSA account. The dividend has increased. Buying a few more shares would help bring down my book value and if sustainable, the dividend yield would be helped. As a transportation company is it worth holding for the long term? Buy, hold or sell? Thank you so much.

Q: If I am enrolled in a drip, is the stock purchased at a discounted rate or the market price of a stock. I own the listed companies; are any of those are eligible for a discounted drip purchase price? or do you need to buy them directly from the company to qualify for the discount.

Q: Hello, what is your opinion of Quaterhill in today's market? I have owned this for sometime in a TFSA and have been in a losing position for a long time just collecting the div. Would you sell this take the loss and move the money into something with a potential better return like ATD.B, NTR or PLC these are also owned in the same account. Or would you wait another quarter or two? The virtual AGM is on April 15th. Thanks

Q: I have been a holder of KEY for some time now. I have stayed with it as it went from a darling to a dog. It's current ratio and debt to equity ratio are not good and the price of nat gas is very low. Today they announced the temporary closing of 4 plants to consolidate operations. I think they are a good management team but am beginning to wonder why I'm being so faithful. Can I get your perspective. Hold or sell?
