Q: Having announced an intention to reduce its holdings in Enbridge Inc. (ENB), has Holdings indicated the extent of the reduction and how the funds will be reinvested? Why would they do this except as part of a long term goal of being an independent conglomerate rather than a funnel for ENB?

Q: TMB has been "range-bound" (about $2.98 to $3.00) since about Feb.1/17. Targets by several analysts and companies (Thompson Reuters and TD for example) range from $3.75 to $4.00. S&P rate it as a "Strong Buy" (in the 6th percentile!).I can't make sense of the situation and I guess my question comes down to:
Is TMB good buy now (with some reasons)?

Q: $IDV: iShares International Select Dividend ETF. I'm wondering your thoughts on this ETF - would you recommend holding this as a way to diversify dividend income outside of North American equity, as we don't follow much for international equities. Morningstar mentioned that it outpaced the category average by 80 basis points annualized, but with greater volatility, so its risk-adjusted performance was slightly below average. Are there any alternatives you would recommend instead?

Q: Do all four of these have dividends that are taxed differently and therefore shouldn't be in a non-registered? Does this apply to a TFSA as well, as foreign income I believe is taxed in a TFSA?

Where should I hold each of these? in an RRSP, TFSA or non-registered?

Q: Mainly for entertainment purposes, I listen to Jim Cramer. Something he said stuck with me. He said that one of his greatest mistakes was to not invest during the last oil downturn. That he missed the 50% plus recovery. Historically, isn't the time to buy the energy sector when the price of WTI is cut in half from its high? I'm thinking of buying SurgeEnergy, which has increased the dividend twice recently, so that for once, I'm not one of the last to buy an energy stock, which was the case in 2014! Can you punch a hole in my line of thought?
