Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Hi Peter: I generally just read the answers to questions that others ask and have found your responses very helpful. However, today I would like to ask about ala. I'm not quite sure whether it is regard as a utility or an energy infrastructure entity. I know their activities to some extent fall into both camps, but where would you put the company in this regard. I don't believe it is significantly affected by the price oil (although it may be by gas prices) but it is obviously falling in sympathy with oil.

Q: IPL down quite a bit today. Is there news or is it oil price related? what is the relationship between pipelines and oil price? I would have thought that pipelines make money moving oil and if the price of oil is down, then wouldn't more oil (or at least the same amount) of oil move? Or is the fear that some projects have/will be cancelled because of the low oil prices?

Hoping your can clear this up for me (and likely others). Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i team,

Was very surprised to not find any comments/questions in the forum on ENB after a 10.53% jump in share value today.

I have read about the increased div as a result of the massive restructuring plan in place. Is there any other reasons you know of for the jump? And with this increase, my portfolio allocation has risen to 6% - would you recommend a trim?

Thanks for all you do

Gord
