Q: Hi, Peter.
I currently own Enbridge (ENB.TO) which has a curent P/E of approximately 44 and a yield just under 3%. The P/E, although lower on forward earnings, appears to hardly qualify as a defensive stock in price. I am considering selling ENB and buying Enbridge Income Fund (ENF.TO) which shows a P/E of 17 and a yield of 5.3%. However, I noticed that GlobeInvest rates ENB 4 stars abd ENF 3 stars for safety. I assume this difference is because ENB is more oil related and ENF transports more natural gas.
How would you evaluate the swapping of ENB for ENF?
Thanks, Ed

Q: I own two utility stocks Fortis(FTS) and Algonquin(AQN)and am considering selling one to purchase a more economicly sensitive , growthier name. They carry about the same capital gain so that is not a consideration. The stock I keep would be a long-term core holding which I could basically hold, monitor, collect the dividend and forget about. For this reason, I am leaning toward keeping the larger cap Fortis but would appreciate your thoughts and considerations. Thank-you.

Q: Hello Peter. I purchased MITT and IVR mainly due to the high dividend and low mortgage interest rates in the US. I realize if rates go up these stocks mat suffer. Are these stocks overly exposed to interest rates and when do you think they may falter? Thanks

Q: What is your take on "967 eleven eleven Pizza Pizza" or PZA?
I see that this company is just a hold on TDWaterhouse rating but it pays a decent dividend. It has been around for agesand i still remember the radio catch phrase. It would I believe be a good complement to Boston Pizza and even the Keg... all of them at different markets/price points.

Q: I would appreciate your opinion on Torstar. Although it has secular challenges it seems the news is baked into the price. It's trading at just 3.7 Earnings. The dividend is 6.7% and similar companies in the US (New York Times) have had significant price appreciation the past 12 months due to the potential for digital pay walls. Thank-you.

Q: Hi Peter any thoughts on Obama passing the northern leg of the Keystone Pipeline and the impact on TRP either way? I have significant gains on my TRP and thinking of booking profits in case Obama plays politics and doesn't pass or delays the pipeline once again. If I do sell any other names you would suggest I switch into with similar attributes,i.e stability, nice dividend etc..thanks.
