Q: Today Enbridge Inc. (ENB) announced they are purchasing Spectra Energy Corp (SE) in an all stock deal.

I own Enbridge in my non-registered account (in order to take advantage of Canadian Dividend Tax Credit) and I own Spectra in my US $ RRSP (in order to minimize taxes on US dividends which are treated like interest income).

I want to participate in both the Canadian and US energy infrastructure (pipeline, midstream processing) market.

My question is what can I replace Spectra Energy in my RRSP with? I own Kinder Morgan (underwater), Oneok (above water) and recently sold off Williams (too much drama) in the RRSP account.

Am I better off to sell Spectra now or wait for the Enbridge merger and then sell off the Enbridge or even keep Enbridge in my RRSP as a US holding. Or do I increase my holding(s) in Kinder Morgan or Oneok?

Thanks for the excellent service.

Q: Good morning guys,

This is the 3rd time I am asking the same question since last Thursday. Would you please let me know if it is worth holding on to this company. I have gone from 11K to 2 k but I don't want to go to zero although I don't need the money for another 5-10 years. What is the best option here...just let go or hang on? My only reason for staying this long hasn't really worked but would it work if I just look the other way for another 5 years. Hope you get this question and get a chance to answer me. The stock is down another 3.5% today. Thank you!

Q: Thanks for all the great info on so many companies. Here is a crystal ball question for you.

Below are 2 groups of up and coming growing companies. Group 1 has market caps below 500M whereas Group 2 has higher market caps of roughly 1-5B.

Group 1: SYZ, CRH, ADW-A, SIS, TNC.

Group 2: KXS, SH, PLI, GUD, BYD-UN, PBH, NFI, TOY.

I am trying to get a feel of which companies have the potential to grow significantly over the next 5 years or so because of the quality and increasing demand for their products/services. Based on your knowledge, could you indicate which companies in each of these 2 groups are most likely to double (or more) their market caps in the next 5 plus years. And perhaps indicate the least likely candidates to do so.

Thanks - James.

Q: May I have your thoughts on the latest news from Aquila? They appear to have obtained some permits from the authorities and the stock was bid up on Friday. Is bulk sampling on the horizon or are they more likely to diamond drill the ore body to get a better handle on the grades and consistency?. Are the option holders in the money?
Thank you.

Q: I have a 3.5% position in CPG, and I have a 1% position in TOU and a 2.5% position in VET. My overall exposure to energy is around 12%. I am not looking to decrease my energy exposure, but I am considering consolidating my position into fewer names. Would you consider a transition from CPG to either TOU or VET to be a sound move, and if so, which would you choose? VET offers a better dividend, but TOU is better positioned to take advantage of a rise in natural gas, which seems like a real possibility over the next 3-6 months. Thanks so much!
