Q: Do you have any comments on the financial reports of LIQ? 2 million seems rather high for a CEO.
Q: CPX announced a new rate-reset preferred today. My question is, for the fixed income side of a portfolio, do you a) consider prefs an equal alternative to bonds and b) in this case in particular, would you be better off going for the common that has a 5.8% yield today rather than rate re-set that currently has a 4.5% yield? Utilities are likely in the 7th inning right now- is either a solid long-term investment in a non-registered account? Thanks in advance.
Q: Hello 5i Team, Re: ENF.T,
I am a income investor looking at purchasing ENF for a long hold, realizing that growth expectations may not be much ,
...but hoping it would stay in the black for the long run.
Peter your Previous reply (Jan 22/13) you made reference about ENF having unfavourable reports towards it, 2 buys and 10 holds.
I’m a member of 5i for many reasons, one being that I have little faith in analysts predicting targets and even less faith in financial advisors.
Could you please elaborate as to why they gave the poor reports ? We all know the damning influence they do have with negative reports?
Also, please confirm any new outlook for ENF ? Your input is greatly appreciated and your service is cherished.

Q: Capital Power sold off on its earnings release today. Do you still see an improving outlook for this company and safety of dividend? Thx..
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: Peter; Could you decipher PPL's earnings ? Everything looked good until you get to the per share part. I am thinking of adding to my position . Thanks.

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: Peter, what do we do with something like atp now. It is too late to get rid of it it seems. Is it going the way of yellow pages? For a company that is this bad we really need better warning. It is to late when the cat is out of the bag Ken

Q: I would like to know your opinion of Mosaic Capital Corp (M). I own the preferred shares (M.PR.A) which have a dividend of 8.5%. Have you considered doing a report on this company? It appears to fit your criteria of companies which have little to no analyst coverage and pay a good dividend.
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: What are your thoughts about Brookfield renewable energy partners? Seems they had a big miss quarter, how can the hydrology and wind be that far off of expectation? Is it me or is this very expensive?

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.
