Q: As I understand it, the ECI buyout by BIP.UN gives ECI shareholders the options of: 1. $29 cash per shares ("cash option"), and 2. BIP.UN units on a prorated basis + balance in cash ("combo option"). ECI shareholders, by default (those making no election), will get the cash option. Simple enough.
Do you know the timing of such election? Some friends of mine claim to have received both the voting and election materials, while I only received the voting info. I couldn't get through to the company for clarification. I don't want to be forced to accept the cash option (due to tax considerations).
Would you by any chance know more about the timing of the voting and election processes in this buyout? Thanks.
Q: Hi Ryan, what do you think about Gibson after their Q2 report?. I see one analyst has a price target in mid twenties and a couple of others have a low twenties target which seems a little higher than the last year or two.
Thanks in advance AEO
Q: There have been no questions about this company in a year.
And the two most recent, elicited more-or-less opposite responses.
Could you provide a current opinion, when the dividend was last cut or increased and what the current short position is.
If you like something better, I would be interested to know.
Thanks,
Kyle
Q: ENB announced an increase in share exchange for ENF from 0.7029 to 0.7350. and states that this represents a 9.8% premium. My math calculates this to be more like a 4% premium which is in line with how market price acted today. Academic question, how is the 9.8% increase calculated? Thank you.
Q: can you help me understand why a stock earning 6% dividend and growing the dividend annually by 4% is not as good as a stock earning 4% and growing the dividend annually by 6%
Q: I'm tempted to buy more ALA and am trying to confirm that ALA dividend will still be well covered after all the divestitures. Do you have details on the free cash flow of WGL (pre-acquisition) and ALA currently? I found cash from ops but not a breakdown of cap exp for maintenance versus growth). Also, any idea how much free cash flow is being lost by ALA as a result of the divestitures?
Q: I own shares in ENF and not sure about selling them at a profit or taking up ENB's offer for 0.45 per share cash plus 0.735 shares in ENB. This morning it looks like I would be ahead a little by selling ENF.

Q: Considering sell fli and buying cgx. My reasoning is that rising interest rates have not really helped insurance stocks because the yield curve is flat or close to it. FLI is exdevidend Sept 21. Should this affect my decision to sell? CGX has an equivalent dividend , more growth .gaming while at the same time time I collect a dividend, I won’t be paying a management fee,
I’m under water with FLI.
Should I stick with FLI or switch.? I don’t think FLI dividend is eligible for the tax credit
