Q: Thank you for your ranking of Canadian utilities last week-our investment club had a lengthy discussion yesterday afternoon over the rankings. I found it difficult to defend BIP.UN as first pick with 6:1 debt, meagre/erratic EPS, and growing share dilution vs CPX having similar posted growth rates, 1.5:1 debt, decent EPS and slower share dilution. Any assistance and clarification on this greatly appreciated. Thank you

Q: I have held Freehold for a little over 2 years, and am no more than even on the stock price (but at least have the dividends). Similar to James' question today, I am thinking about selling FRU and moving to an energy income ETF. I have been looking at EMAX, but was not aware of ENCC that was mentioned by James. EMAX is new, but I like the North American approach vs ENCC which appears to be only Canadian companies. Could you compare the pros and cons of each ETF, including taxation of distributions, call strategy and any trading premium to NAV. Do you have a preference of one over the other? My objective is some sector exposure and income, more than capital gains.
Thank-you

Q: Good Day 5i team!

My question is around DRX and your thoughts around taking a bigger position? The stock has had a good run, has work in the pipeline and will likely gain some traction fueled by high-rise residential and infrastructure work. Next TVE, which I hold a small position in my RRSP and am thinking about adding more. Mostly due to the dividend and that energy should be a growth area in the coming years.

Thank you so much for all your efforts in adding clarity to this crazy world of investing!
