Q: Hi, could you please compare these two companies. I own Bip.un , thinking of selling for cpx . I feel Bip.un is stagnant with little catalyst going forward. ( quite a bad chart). If I switch to cpx my rationale is to try and capitalize on the electrification that is going on?
Which of these two companies would you rather have for the next 4 years?
Thanks

Q: I'm looking at BIP and BEP primarily for dividend reliability and some growth. According to Morningstar, they both have very low return on assets (somewhat understandable given that they are very asset heavy) but also return on equity.

Normally, that would be enough for me to avoid the stock but they are both generally well thought of by analysts. What am I missing?

Thanks
Peter

Q: BEPC has only gone down long term, including recently during a rising market. Yet analyst targets and fair value assessments range from $39-$46. The yield is approaching 6% and I would expect it to provide a floor for the stock soon. How safe is the dividend? Would you be averaging down at these levels if you had taken a small position at higher (mid-$40’s) levels?

Q: G'morning 5i,

I'm sitting on a fairly substantial loss on GXE in my TFSA. In trying to decide what to do, I first waited for the strategic review to complete, hoping that something positive would come of that. When it didn't, I next decided to wait for its latest earnings report, hoping for something positive there but, from my review of the numbers and despite management's rosy outlook, I don't see anything re-assuring there. either.
My inclination is to sell, take the loss and do something useful with the now severely diminished funds.
Occasionally in the past when I've made that decision with a losing investment, hindsight has caused me to regret it, and I think perhaps I should have been alert to signs that a turnaround was in the offing.
From your objective perch do you see any reason to hold GXE given the milquetoast strategic review and what I interpret to be the less than satisfactory recent earnings report?
I look forward to your thoughts. Thank you.
Peter

Q: I will be making a case to our investment club to replace CU with ENB..The portfolio mandate is conservative growth with above average dividends. How would you compare these two companies, what metrics would you use, how would you frame the presentation ?
Thanks. Derek.
