Q: This is a reset preferred that I bought in the $16 range. With increasing interest rates and collecting the interest, I have done quite well. As long as interest is predicted to rise it will increase in value.
I was thinking that about selling if there is a forecast that interest rate will rise again in Dec or Jan. Will use proceeds to buy ENB in The midst of tax loss selling giving me a better dividend and more opportunity for growth. What’s your view on interest rates and buying ENB ?

Q: I am retired and my income needs are covered by pension and RRSP. My question is about my non sheltered investment account and the dividends. Since I don't require the income from that account, would it make sense to enroll the dividend securities in the DRIP/DPP plans available? Would this reduce my income for tax purposes because I would just be "buying" more of the security instead of gaining cash dividends?
Thanks for your help.

Q: Hi
Just read the question from another member regarding long term returns and longrundata with the response including a link to a Canadian Dividend Aristocrats site.
Are you aware of this site that has a monthly update of Canadian companies that increase their dividend ranked by the period of time the company has annually increased its dividend to shareholders? (CU is #1 at 45 years).

Q: Where can I find a source of long run stock analysis --- say 30 years --- to look at "what if" scenarios looking at the stock using DRIP and not using DRIP. I prefer Dividend Aristocrats. Is there a list of Canadian Dividend Aristocrats? I read that in thirty years Royal Bank went from $3 to $100 and their dividend grew to equal the $3 cost of the stock 30 years ago thereby realizing a 100% yield. This reinforces the "buy and hold" philosophy.

Q: 5i team,
I want to understand more about ENB's debt. Most company web-sites allow the user to easily drill down under "Investor Relations" to find what one wants. The ENB web-site seems different - their Search engine asks "What can we help you find?" I tried to use this, but found it ineffective in finding what I want, debt or other info. Are you able to help on this? Thank you. Edward

Q: Hi, What is your view on this company ? The new Board has taken some serious steps to restructure company's business and its direction. Per, Monday's NR, company has agreed to sell all its US stores and focus on CDN stores. This transaction will result in lower cash flow from operations but help reduce debt considerably. What do you think of this move and its future impact on company's operations? Stock has current dividend yield of 3.5% and CIBC upgraded its rating and price target. Is the stock buyable at present prices for short to medium term investment ? Thanks
