Hello Peter....
Best withes on the ride!
I have owned a 1.4% position in Great-west Life [GWO] and a 1.7% position in Sun life [SLF] since December 2013. SLF is up 11% and GWO down 1% since I bought them. These are held primarily for income. I would appreciate your opinion on whether I should just do nothing and collect the dividends which are about the same for both companies [SLF 3.5% and GWO 3.8%] or whether I should sell the GWO with essentially no loss or gain and put the money into SLF, in the expectation of a little more growth. Is it worth the diversification to own both?
Many thanks...... Paul K

Q: Pipelines:
In looking to add pipelines to a balanced portfolio what is your preference when it comes to company size,looking at growth first and income second. I.E. ENB/TRP vs IPL/PPl. If chosing one, which would it be? (or other suggestion) Also how do you feel SCL fits in to the mix. As a supplier of pipeline coatings, is it a redundant play or a stock with different qualities/prospects than pure pipelines?
Thanks very much as always!

Q: A group of 8 Pipeline and Midstream companies analyzed by a broker has a 2015 forward PE of 28.4, after removing a high outlier, VSN. To me this number seems quite lofty and I'd like to know how it compares historically, say in the group's last cycle peak; after all how much growth can this group generate? I know the analysts say that growth is visible years out but it seems N. America is presently awash in oil with an average 250,000 BPD being imported by Eastern Canada from the U.S. so if shale oil continues to expand production, and there's no consensus on this prospect, would that be a catalyst for the group to stumble or accelerate growth? It seems likely that the growth number should be far less than 28% too, hardly justifying the PE.
And it seems the group is analyzed on its AFFO yield (like REITs) of 6.3% for 2015. Should interest rates rise would the group be hurt by the rise? Current stock yield averages only 3.6%. In the group I hold ENB with smaller positions in IPL and ALA; stock prices have been on a 45 degree climb for several years now - time to take profits or just watch closely? Thanks, J.

Q: As a Constellation shareholder, rights have been deposited into my account and I have been considering an additional purchase of rights (CSU.RT)on the open market to participate more fully in the debenture offering. However, I have no experience in such rights offering and no idea as to how to value them. From the price action in the first week of trading ( ranging from .40 to .70 cents), I suspect I'm not alone. Any advice, suggestions, guidelines appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks
