Q: Hello team,

Would you please compare and contrast these two SAAS companies. I appreciate it if you can comment on their moat and and market as well as competition, quality of business, current valuation, momentum, and financial strength.

I know you like them both, but I have money only for one and I am wondering which one has more torque and a brighter future, for it is current growth is going to only accelerate further.

Thank you very much indeed for being the referee here.

Q: 10:15 AM 5/16/2019
1. Could you please provide the numbers for, and compare and comment on : debt levels, financial leverage, debt to cashflow, and payout ratios for EMA, FTS, AQN, BIP.UN, BEP.UN.
2. You seem to always rate EMA at the bottom of the list [Why?] but I believe EMA has sold off some significant assets [Emera Maine and others?, more to come?] so debt levels should be lower, so is it a secure buy now for long-term dividend income?
3. I worry that BIP and BEP both have extremely high payout ratios. You have suggested that a total of 15% of one's portfolio in these two would be acceptable. Are you still of that opinion?
Thank you........ Paul K

Q: The market seems to be discounting the likelihood that ACs $13 offer will be accepted or allowed. Some other Analysts have stated they think $13 is on the low end and that higher offers from other parties might still materialize. Would you be a buyer under $12 based on the assumption $13 will probably be the lowest offer accepted? Other thoughts on how to play this?

Q: EOLS has fallen a lot on the news that one of their large investors is selling 4 million shares to ML. Does this drop make sense to you. The stock was 29 dollars a few weeks ago and now less than 17 dollars. What do you think? Do you think it will recover and should I hold my position or sell.

Q: You answered Francesco on May 16 that to reduce currency conversion fees on dividends one should sell the stock in Canadian funds and rebuy in American. I have been told by my broker that I am able to journal over a stock such as BIP.UN to the American side of my account without sale and purchase fees. It is in my LIRA but I have yet to call to move the stock so it is an untested strategy. I have moved DLR/DLR.UN this way successfully.

Q: With the most recent slide I am sitting on a $3000 loss in VET, my only full position in Energy, also have a half position in Meg. For tax planning I'm considering selling VET. Do you have a recommendation for a replacement Energy company with a similar yield to replace, or would you sit in cash for 30 days and repurchase VET ?
