Q: Hi again 5i,
Re the question I just sent in asking for information about yesterday's sharp price decline and trading halt for DHT.UN, I've now learned of the bought-deal arrangement that was announced yesterday and which led me to sustain a significant paper loss on my first day of ownership.
So now my question is - could you please provide your analysis of the long-term implications of the bought deal for DHT.UN.
Thanks 5i.

Q: Hi 5i. I think the figure you like to use to measure a company's dividend payout is the ratio of dividend to free cash flow. I think Peter even wrote about this recently in the FP. For the above two companies, could you please tell me what the dividend-to-free cash flow currently is? Is it following a perceptible trend of rising or falling?

Q: Good evening, I'm interested in adding to my existing SU energy position. I have a full position in ENB and am wondering if it isn't a good time to reduce ENB and add another company like TOU or CNQ. I've been in both before and done well. The yields are lower than ENB but there's more chance of capital gain. I realize ENB is more utility than energy so there's a bit of apples to oranges in this question. I'm a chicken retiree who wants safety, yield and the chance of gain. Thanks, as always.

Q: Peter; Last question before my September 28 renewal- it seems to me that oil stocks are not in step with the price increases in oil. Are they not lagging ? Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Q: Good morning,

I know there are risks with owning Verizon right now, but with another recent dividend increase (now 17 consecutive years of increases), forward PE ~ 7.0, and a dividend yield approaching ~ 8%, do you think there is merit in buying for an income investor?
