Q: Hi can you please explain what the prospectus filing on March 6/2020 for OVV means, they will be selling common shares and securities? Reading some of the Sedar's filings but not totally clear to me, does this mean they are delisting the stock or just selling their portion of shareholder equity (shares and debt)?

I own these shares in a TFSA and Canadian non-registered account, would there be tax implications?

Thanks

Q: What do you think of adding 1/3% to ENB in this environment? ENB is currently 3.3% of my portfolio with an average cost of $45.75. Their record of dividend increases is impressive.

Also, is ENB adding many / any Wind or Solar assets to their mix? They hint at this in some communications.

Q: I have $87,000 to invest in my RRIF. At the age of 85, my required annual deduction is high. Could you recommend 4 or 5 stocks with good yields and a reasonable degree of safety to hold in my RRIF? Would any REITs be suitable for that purpose?

Q: Hello, how high is the risk of VET going bankrupt? Is VET could become a takeover target? Is another dividend cut possible? If it goes bankrupt, do we automatically loose all the money we still have in the company's stocks? Thanks, Gervais

Q: The above pipeline companies are still declining. With declining interest rates I might have expected them to recover at least somewhat after the recent sharp declines. What is your perspective on these continuing price declines? Do you think the dividends are reasonably secure?

Q: Is KEY being punished for its infrastructure expansion? I understand that natural gas has been weaker lately, but I thought that KEY's business model provided some degree of insulation from commodity prices (and, particularly, oil market dynamics.)
