Q: This may, (or may not) be a stupid, amateur question:
Some BIP.UN metrics are good, but the PB is 14.97 and PE !,011.45!
How can one buy something like that?
This is an extreme case, but you now frequently recommend stocks at 40, 50 and higher PE's. Leaving all else aside, that, at minimum, is a sign of a stock priced to perfection, no?
Thanks for your comment.

Q: I am an income investor as I live off the dividend stream I receive. I recently started a small position in BIP.UN. I have a full position in EMA. EMA seems to have had a pretty good run lately and also I believe they have reduced their projected dividend growth rate over the next few years. I am thinking of selling my EMA position and shifting it to BIP.UN as BIP.UN seems to have more upside on unit appreciation, a higher dividend and perhaps a higher dividend growth rate. Thoughts on this potential swap??

Q: Confused by the reaction of these 3 names. EMA/FTS up materially and BIP.UN down so far this year. Thoughts on why? Also on EMA with a 29% return YTD the stock must be stretched. Would you suggest a switch to BIP.UN?

Q: how do you expect BIP to perform, now that we have more clarity (maybe) on tariffs ?
Both div at this level and share price not drifting any lower

I want to build a position in it as a "retirement" stock.
I have BIP.UN and BEP.UN at 3% each.

What are your fav options in this category currently?

Regards,
JR

Q: I have about a 6-7% position in each of bep.un, bip.un and BN. I am thinking of adding a bit of BAM (eg.3%) But i am wondering if adding bam would duplicate too much of the components of the other three. Would Bam add much to my portfolio is there too much duplication?

Q: Currently I hold Fortis (FTS), Hydro One (H), NextEra (NEE), and Brookfield Infrastructure (BIP.UN) in the utilities space. I have been thinking of adding Capital Power (CPX). Could you please rank the five in terms of best overall expected return over the next few years? Would you consolidate any? Thank you.

Q: What is the RISK % out of 10 for each of these three stocks?.....Tom

Q: After reading Peter's May 29th question on withholding taxes on Limited Partnerships [LPs] I worry a lot about the Brookfield companies, in particular about BEP.UN = Brookfield Renewable Partners LP. and BIP.UN = Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP. Are these not limited partnerships?

You say they are "domiciled" in Bermuda I believe, and BAM is moving it's head office to the US so it is all most confusing. Are these companies safe to own now or should I just sell them and move on to other less worrisome companies? They are in my cash account. Trouble is I have very large unrealized capital gains in BIP.UN and BEP.UN and nice dividend income so really don't want to trigger the taxes.
Thank you......... Paul K.

Q: What’s your opinion on the BIP’s Q1 result? It seams the 6% increase in dividends is above the increase in AFFO. What is now the payout ratio of the AFFO? I like this dividend increase but are they getting agressive given the AFFO results?
