Q: I have owned Enbridge for a couple years and have done okay with it. Going forward I'm not sure there is much upside beyond the 6% dividend. I'm considering replacing it with a similar stock with the potential for a higher total return. I'm looking at BEP, NPI or AQN.
Would you recommend sticking with Enbridge, switching to one of these stocks or do you have another stock you would prefer?

Q: Thinking to sell TA and replace with BEP.UN. This is for an RRSP account, the higher dividend with BEP is nice but not essential, high debt is more of a concern. safety and long term growth opportunities are primary considerations. Do you endorse this switch?

Thanks!

Q: Vermillion announced resumption of its dividend and received (so far) two increases to analysts' target prices - but today's price action is pretty harsh. Does this suggest tax loss selling, or something less temporary? Can you explain the formula proposed for the dividend? Thanks.
