Q: Today Paul asked a question in which he included the following statement: [Plus I have PPL, ENB and IPL which you consider as utilities; all in very positive territory.]
Could you please confirm that you do in fact consider PPL, ENB and IPL to be utilities? Even if they are, I notice that their price tends to have close correlation to the price of oil.
Thank you.
