Q: ALA-tsx was halted yesterday, Thursday, Jan. 12, around news reported in "The Wall Street Journal" (the only place I could find info at 4:00 pm..)

"Canada’s AltaGas in Talks to Combine With D.C. Utility WGL
Deal could value the parent of Washington’s natural-gas utility at $5 billion to $6 billion"


Do you have more info or thoughts? I am not a subscriber to the Journal so could not read the complete article.

I suspect this will be good for both companies.

I hope ALA does more dividend increases & wonder what will happen to ALA's DRIP/SPP plan I have been in for years.

Q: I was contemplating purchasing shares of AQN until I saw a January 6, 2017 report by S&P Capital IQ that rates the company a "Strong Sell". This appears to fly in the face of the "Buy" rating by a number of other analysts. Is one negative report enough to give you pause?

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize you do not cover USA stocks and may want to take a pass...I will not be offended. Iteris has just hit a new high and I am wondering if I should sell or hold for a while. So in your eyes can you give me the big picture. Does it appear to have new legs and could possibly run another 10-20% in the coming months?
Thanks for your guidance which is always valuable to us little guys!

Q: What are thoughts on Q1 results for Caldwell Partners? It seems cost are more in line to deliver stronger profits going forward and a sustainable dividend. The Company maintains a very good balance sheet and management and directors have been buying stock. Do you think the stock price today is very inexpensive?

Q: I know you took this company out of your growth portfolio, but since the US election this stock is been going up. I went onto there web site and listened to the Bloomberg and Bnn interviews and i love what they are doing, they seem to be light years ahead of conventional construction, and this has to be the future. With 80 % of there business in the USA and expanding around the world, would this not qualify as a good growth company for a long term hold. Do you ever put companies back in the growth portfolio after removing them?
Thanks once again.

Q: Good afternoon:
I am underweight in pure utility equities and would like to add. My primary holding is AQN with a lesser position in EMA. Would you recommend switching EMA to FTS and then adding to that position. Or do you consider that unnecessary?
Thank you for your advice.
