Q: Hi 5i: Two questions - please deduct points as appropriate.
(1) I'm looking for a good telecom stock to complete a sector allocation. I hold BCE and Telus in another portfolio, so am considering Rogers. Can you suggest any others, preferably US, or perhaps a US Telco oriented ETF?
(2) As above, for the utility sector of the portfolio; a US utility, or a US utility ETF.
Your advice would be much appreciated. Regards Roland

Q: In the Financial Times on Saturday John Dizard wrote a column more or less saying that BIP was vulnerable to a short attack because of it's corporate structure based in Bermuda. Are you able to comment on the article. It seems that the writer thinks the chances of a short attack are minimal but that there is enough fog to create questions.
Can You give your opinion on his thinking.

Q: I have a position in ENB at $48. If you were selling a covered call on this security, what strike price and expiry date would you select?. The goal would be not to have the position called away. The pending clarification relative to future dividend increase rates is one element that needs to be considered.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Q: Hi Team,
Is KML only holds Canadian pipe line assets, and that means only holds Trans Mountain pipe line, if the expansion blocked that would be very bad for KML ?
Your comment is highly appreciated.

Q: In a 7 figure account that I manage I need to add a telco for about $20K. This account already has close to equal amounts of Rogers, BCE and Telus. The decision is between topping up those three or adding COG. As you know the stock has been on fire this year but why? Can you shed some light?
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
Just a comment. You are fond of pointing out that there are two sides to every trade but I don’t know if many people really think about what that means. Frustrated holders of ENB (how could we be anything else?) might want to take a look at a 5-year chart for TRP. TRP went through a period where it had some issues and not everything was working out perfectly for it. Even though there was never any real concern that its dividend was in danger or that its business enterprise was at significant risk, the market sold it down from $60 to $40. Sound familiar? But a quick glance now will confirm that over the most recent several months TRP has spent most of its time over $60 again and the people who bought it near $40 have made out like bandits. Do you think maybe some of them were buying ENB this week? Thanks!

I also hold it in my investment portfolio . 11 % of this 300000$ Portfolio. Purchased for $13. My view is that I should contiue to hold and collect the dividends on the basis that I think interest rates will continue to rise . What is your opinion.

Q: I do not understand the Aimia purchase by DIV and how DIV gets revenue from this. Can you please explain this in some detail. Also if Aimia was to go Bankrupt as the CEO of West Jet said is a possibility, what would that do to DIV. Thanks
