Q: Hi,
I own one pipeline stock which is ENB and would like to add one and maybe a second to reduce single company risk.
I am looking for your top 3 ideas offering the best potential total return over the next 10 years that would be a good compliment to ENB. I would like your rational for each.
FYI, I like growing dividends over time, lower debt (I know this sector is capital intensive so these companies are usually indebted) and good opportunities for growth.
Thanks,
Dan

Q: Hi Peter, on the 5iResearch’s company tab, for each company listed there are approximately 35 financial numbers & ratios describing the company’s financial situation. Could you please suggest the most important financial figures or ratios listed for the company that an investor with a limited understanding of financial statements could look at in order to get a feel for the company’s present financial health. Thanks … Cal

Q: Thank you for your great service. I'm a young retiree. I need 5% after tax revenue for living expenses. My portfolio consist of 10% cash/equivalent, 2% Prefered (CPD) 15% high dividend stocks, and 65% other well diversified long stock positions of which half also pay dividend in the 2-3% range. Considering that my REITs represent 8% would you consider a good opportunity to add to my REITs since interest rates are going to stay low for the foreseeable future and hence high dividend and distribution stocks should do well in this environment. If so which of the above mentioned would you add to or if you have a better suggestion please do so. As for tax implication I own all my REATs in either TSFA or my RRSP. On a side note I also own Real Estate for approximately 30% of my net in addition to the stock portfolio.

Thanks for your great advise.

Q: Further to a question asked by ‘M John’ on March 15, about CIPF protection for larger portfolios, my understanding is that an investor is protected to a maximum of $1M, but that is for the ‘cash’ side of things, meaning, if you had $900,000 of stocks and $100,000 of cash, should the broker go under, you’d only be calling on CIPF for $100,000, because all the stock holdings are automatically ‘guaranteed,’ because they’re held separately. So in theory, a portfolio held at one institution can be very large, and one need not worry, unless they get above $1M in cash or cash-equivalents.

Is my understanding correct, or is it $1M total, including all stock holdings?

Thanks for clarifying this.
