Q: I am a long term holder of Spectra in my US acct. I am pleased with the takeover by Enbridge, especially with the long term dividend growth guidance. Do you know if I will be given a choice of US or Can listed stock? If I receive US stock would I get the dividend tax credit, and if not can I switch to Can stock without triggering a gain? What do you think of Enbridge at today's levels?

Q: Algonquing Power (AQN) is considered a renewable energy company, but it has sizable natural gas operations through its Liberty Utilities division. Natural gas is obviously not a renewable resource. How does AQN get grouped into the renewable energy sector? Is this justified?

Q: Hi 5i,
Suppose the US moves into more significant inflation and begins to battle the strength of its own dollar. So rates ‘normalize’ but inflation goes ‘above target.’ I am thinking about how to adjust one’s portfolio for that environment. I guess gold and real return bonds (and TIPS) may be obvious inclusions but I am wondering about equities in general and what kind of equities, if any, can actually do well in an ‘above target’ inflation environment. How would you increase/decrease sector weightings? Could you identify a stock or two in some specific sectors that you think would be good to own in that picture? Is this topic something you’d consider blogging about at some point? Thanks!

Q: On BNN today Greg Newman stated that Telus would pay out over 100% of free cash flow in dividends this year. This caught me by surprise. Do you agree and if so I wonder how they expect to keep their aggressive program of dividend increases?
Q: Hi. I was wondering what your opinion is about Fortis? Perhaps for the next year or so. Thanks Sean
Q: TBL.nt
I have owned this security for 8 years and in truth, I am probably overweighted in it.
They have never missed a payment and their financials appear strong.
I am wondering what you folks think of it.
Looking forward to seeing Peter this evening on BNN.
THANKS VERY MUCH,
Don

Q: We I currently own vfv in my husbands Rrsp account and have done quite well. Since he has now retired we are slowly repositioning his portfolio from income / growth to more income with safety we are thinking of selling vfv and purchasing a covered call etf that would still provide exposure to the us market. Do you think this is a wise decision,and if so what do you think of the Bmo Zwh? And which one would you purchase at this time-ZWH or ZWH.u? Are there other consideration we should be thinking about? Thank you

Q: I'm building a non-registered account with companies that pay out a fairly high dividend (tax efficient for the dividend tax credit) and with an emphasis on growers. In particular companies that have indicated their intention of growing the dividend 5-10% annually and in some cases provided timelines as well. Looking for steady increasing income from this account but also hoping the increasing dividend will provide a floor for the stock prices against increasing interest rates expected over the next while. Time line 5-10 years.
For example, ENB who have indicated 10-12% dividend increases through 2024 (choose this over ENF who has indicated 10% increases through 2019). This should take ENB's dividend payout up to around 9%+ based on the current stock price. I've also included ECI in the account so far.
BEP/BIP don't fit the bill due to the distributions not being tax effective.
Looking for more ideas, perhaps 5-10 that I could consider adding to gain some diversification as well.
Thanks!

Q: I'm aware of the interest rate and housing market sensitivity, but I'm still intrigued by the yield. Are the payouts of such MIC's classified as true dividend income (eligible for the dividend tax credit)?
If you aren't a big fan of these MICs, what would be your top 3 picks for companies with high (as safe as possible) yields (north of 6%)?
Thank you
