Q: I have had a small position in Keyera since before the oil price crash. It is still down 20% and even the most optimistic forecasts will only bring it close to my cost price. Its dividend is about the same at PPL, is lower than ENB and higher than TRP. ENB is my only other pipeline stock. I could sell KEY and add to ENB or open an position in PPL or TCP. Which do you think would be better for income and a little growth?

Q: Hi,
I have the above stocks in my wife's account and I'm looking to diversify further. Ultimately, I'm looking to build my own ETF through individual stocks. What else would you add here to fully diversify?

Thanks
Robert

Q: I own enbridge and have done well on it. I struggle to hold it as psychologically long term we are moving away from fossil fuels and have been thinking of going into BIP. So ENB will have to move away from their reliance on FF transportation and into other projects. What are your thoughts on this longer term theory. Do you think shorter term, say 5 - 10 years, this theory is irrelevant?
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i Team:

Happy New Year!

I am thinking to put my hi interest saving money to either ENB and or ALA. I know the principal may go up/down, but if it goes down at least I can use my cap loss to offset gains. Which of these two you would recommend for a long term hold just to earn the dividend? I already own these two stocks and my holdings are well diversify. Or, what would you recommend besides ENB and ALA.

Thank you.

Q: Hi, I currently hold ENB (0.53%), PPL (1.03%), TOU (0.48%), and WCP (0.37%), total of 2.42% of my portfolio. I actually have ENB in my utility sector weighting, which would make my overall energy even lower. Would you consider it 50/50 energy/utility??

I'm looking at slightly increasing my sector weight in energy to maybe 4-5% since its so low (mostly because my current holdings have gone down or I've sold previous energy positions). Energy companies in Canada have been hit so badly its hard to put money back into the sector right now. I know you hold MCR in your portfolio and you like PXT and SU. Based on the current valuations/fundamentals and future potential, should I add to any of my current positions, sell them, or add PXT or SU to the mix?? How would you suggest consolidating these?

Thanks!

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

I manage my son's TFSA, and it's quite well diversified, except for zero exposure in energy. For this year's contribution, I'm considering one of ENB, IPL, TRP, or PKI. I realize that PKI is in a different sub-sector, but am leaning towards it, and would appreciate your insight. We favour dividend payers, even if it's a small dividend. Thanks as always.

Q: Hi, I just have a question about holding CAD listed stocks that currently pay dividends in CAD$. If the stocks are also US listed, how do I go about getting the dividends in US$ if I wanted to?? Do I need to ask my broker to convert the cad stock to the US equivalent? In that case, would they just convert it at the current FX rate and would I get them to journal it over? Would I use norbert gambit to do this possibly to save on FX conversion? Any advice would be great!

Thanks!
Keith

Q: I did a screen on "undervalued" companies with growing dividends. My aim is income and dividend growth. Possibly a DRIP if available. Which 2 companies would you choose and why?

Q: Hello-I invested in both of the companies early this year. Williams share price has dropped and now yields an eye popping eight per cent. Is that sustainable? What are your thoughts on wmb. I am tempted to buy more. Also, Citibank gave a shout out to enbridge today and it’s current yields are also high. Your thoughts on enb please?
