Q: Hi Peter and team
I am down considerable in my RSP in ENB,SGY, and WCP.
I note you are in favour of a new position in CVE. I will keep ENB but was wondering if a switch out of SGY and WCP to CVE or to buy more of ENB is warranted? I will not need the RSP funds for 3 years or more and it is fairly balanced at the moment.
Your comments appreciated as always

Q: Hi Peter and 5i team,
We hold Enbridge in a taxable account and are considering trading to another company with better growth potential. We like the dividend but one anaylist says that all earnings are needed to support the dividend. He thinks the stock price is over valued raising warning flags. Another anaylist likes the name and thinks it is good value.
Enbridge is in the 5i income fund. Is 5i still confident in the company? Our position at present is flat.
Thank you for your opinion

Q: Good morning, There has been so much investor angst, and a sell-off in ENB, apparently because mgmt. did not refer to dividend increases in their Q3 conference call, thereby raising doubts. ENB has elevated debt following the Spectra acquisition (in what many see as a rising interest rate environment), and a large project pipeline to fund. Why would ENB mgmt. raise expectations in the first place (on increasing the dividend so dramatically, 10-12% per year for several years) while they KNEW they would need significant cash to reduce debt and fund future projects. Makes one wonder...... Would appreciate your insight. Thank you.

Q: I'm considering to enter the battered pipeline sector with no position ( other than ZEO & ZJO purchased two months ago)
A) how should I synchronize any purchase of pipleine ( bond proxie) in a rising interetst rate environnement and should I wait until 10 years USA bonds get above 3% ?
B) the two stocks I'm considering are ENB ( continue to fall ) and ALA (seem to have stabilized at current level). Which one of the two stock would you prioritize first
Thank you

Q: In your recent response to Margita you recommended holding Enbridge for the dividend. As a retiree I purchased 1k shares of ENB not only for the dividend income but also the projected dividend growth of 10-12%. What are your thoughts on the later? Is there anything in the latest financials or management comments (or lack thereof) that would cause you to re-consider ENB for the balanced portfolio.
Many thanks
Mike

Q: I am considering selling my position in TOG and replacing it with ENB. I have held TOG for 3 years, its finally increasing in price ( I am down approx. 13%) and ENB is becoming a more attractive price, with a higher yield. I have equal weighting of 15% in both. Would this be a good decision going forward.
Thank you!

Q: Hi 5i Team.

The only pipeline company I own is IPL. I have been looking at ENB for a while but can't make myself pull the trigger yet. One of the reasons I originally chose IPL instead was that it had (and still has) a much lower P/E ratio, reflecting much lower growth expectations. ENB currently sits at a P/E of roughly 35 which makes no sense to me. Do you think part of the reason for the price decline over the summer is due to investors reassessing growth (multiple compression) or am I over-emphasizing P/E when looking at pipeline companies?

Can you recommend a template that I can use to determine sector allocations? Should allocations be within a particular account or for my entire portfolio?

Thanks
Peter

Thanks!

Q: Both AQN and ENB hit this morning with ENB reaching a yield over 5%. Have no pipelines and a 4% position in utility { KWH.UN } Considering a 4% position in each of the above. Is adding AQN over weighting utilities speculatively ? What is the reason for ENB's pullback of 3% today and do you approve of a purchase at today's prices. If I were to only add one which would it be ? Cash position currently 23%.
Thank you

Q: Hi, I own both these companies, am now flat or slightly negative. Would you suggest
more patience, or time to move on to better opportunities? Any suggestions for replacements, they are both part of a full portfolio with the goal of dividend as well as capital appreciation. Thanks, Lavern
