Q: Would you consider these three reasons sufficient to justify a switch from Pembina Pipeline (PPL) to Enbridge Income Fund (ENF):

(1) ENF's lower valuation on a p/e basis
(2) ENF's recent dip due to its equity offering
(3) ENF's fairly aggressive (and seemingly predictable) dividend policy

I have a pretty good capital gain on PPL but I also have some capital losses I can use to offset Pembina's gain. Do you think its possible/likely ENF can outperform PPL by around 10%?

Lastly, is either company more likely to be to be an acquisition target?

Many thanks.

John

Q: Hi,

I am thinking of buying either TD or BNS for my RRSP to buy and hold. I saw that you recommended BNS on BNN the other day so I assume you like it more than TD. Can you briefly tell me why and how the two compare on a valuation basis. I like TD for the US exposure.

Thank you!

Q: I agree that it is a great business but I would appreciate more details on the valuation metrics you look at to evaluate the company. You mention that it is cheap but I see it at 24 times LTM earnings of 6.57 per share. I find that to be on the high end of it's historical range. Maybe I am missing something here ? Is there a better metric to look at ? Thank you!!

Q: Could you comment on the Hydro One IPO available now at some brokerages. Do you think the price range is reasonable (very annoying when it is not specified exactly), and do you see any growth in the proposed dividend. Do you think it might be better to just wait and buy on the market, if at all.

Thank-you

Q: The IPO for Hydro One was announced. Any reason not to go for an Indication of Interest to try for some shares? Thanks.

Hi Peter:
The article in the Oct 10, 2015 Globe and Mail suggests that the Hydro One IPO will come out very soon with a suggested price range of $19 to $21 per share and with a suggested yield of 4.2%

How would you value Hydro One when compared to other utilities with comparable yields such as Brookfield Infrastructure [5.36%], Algonquin Power [5.33%], Emera [4.35%], Fortis [3.86%]?

Will Hydro One be burdened with debt and, looking ahead, will it need to raise money for ongoing operations?

Would you be buying Hydro One at it's IPO or would you prefer one or more on the other utilities which have proven operating records and strong growth, most with rising earnings and dividends? Which would you buy for regular income?

Thank you....... Paul K

Q: Hey guys,

I have the following stocks on my watchlist: AGU, ATD.B, BAM, CNR, CU, CCL.B, EMP, PJC, L, MG, MRU, SAP and Tri.

I am looking to buy high quality dividend growing stock at normal valuation. Regardless of sectors allocation, which one would you be comfortable buying at current prices? And any suggestion I might have missed. I am overweight financials, telecom & oil at the moment.

Thanks!
