Two option are offered , having the optionality to A) sell ENF at 29$ while collecting the income ( would drip still be in place during that waiting time ) or
B) to swap ENF shares to ENB shares and at what ratio $ value per $ value or share for share fixed ratio at date of announcement ?

Q: What is your view at this time of Canadian bond proxy stocks versus Cdn dividend growth stocks, and their valuations relative to interest rates?

If you are of the view that dividend growers are more appropriate at this time, can you provide three growers that you recommend, and 3 bond proxy stocks that you would suggest to stay away from, to better understand the types of stocks that fall into this category. Thanks.

Q: Greetings 5i,

I have been considering adding a position in DWDP, as I view it as an excellent diversified blue chip in the materials sector (which I view as the weakest sector in my portfolio). Moreover, as a fairly young investor (I am 36), I also view their holdings as very appealing long term prospects, as I cannot envision a time when practices like agriculture and chemical manufacturing will not be essential. However, given the impending breakup, I am unsure how to proceed, and would like your advice. Please feel free to deduct as many credits as you see fit.

First, could you provide your overall assessment of DWDP as a buy and hold name for a conservative, long-term portfolio, where neither funds nor proceeds will be needed for the foreseeable future?

Further, would you recommend purchasing the shares as they are now (perhaps a half position to start), or would it be prudent to wait for the breakup to occur, and reassess at that time (I am not in any rush to add to my portfolio, but do not want to miss out on an opportunity either)?

Finally, is it known what will happen to held shares once the breakup occurs (I was unable to find any stated plans in my research)? If not, could you please explain the most likely scenario in your opinion?

Thank you.

Q: Sylogist has been buying back shares in the market. I really don't see a big benefit in this seeing how the stock is already so illiquid, and we are already so late in a cycle. Is it really that hard to spend some of the 30million cash on something accretive where it is more beneficial to be buying back shares? Has the company stated in a conference call what they plan on doing with the cash and if they are looking to deploy it soon?
Thanks.

Q: I understand the WH has authorised only partial bank regulatory reform, with the associated benefits denied to the larger institutions. Could you please comment on the implications of this announcement and provide one or two suggestions. Thanks.
