Q: Hi,

After having been burned regularly by buying oil gas stocks in the last few years - despite being assured prices are on the verge of recovery - I am reticent. I am interested in pipeline stocks because they seem less volatile, have good dividends, and some have been hit hard (Enbridge), can you answer this?
1) what do you think of pipelines in the next couple years? is there a better alternative for some growth and generous dividend?
2) buy now or wait for 5% position
3) what would be your top and second pick?

Q: I realize that the companies mentioned are not equal size but how would you rank them in terms of growth profile for the next 5 years from 1 to 10. 1 is lowest and 10 highest. Thanks

Q: Good afternoon,
I hold the following stocks in my business account that have a weight of between 6.2% and 8.3%. This account was started in DEC/16 and has increased by 6.7% YTD not including dividends. I want to add six more stocks to further diversify while reducing the percentage per equity down to between 4 and 5%.

My goal is to generate income equal to the amount of corporate tax payable annually. I looks like this can be achievable!

Let me know if I need to share dollar values to help access.

Raymond

Q: As a conservative investor/retiree with a diversified portfolio looking for income and some growth, I am considering Enbridge (now own TRP). Sources mention Enbridge's pipeline of growth opportunities and anticipated 10% - 12% annual dividend increases through 2024. These projections "feel" optimistic, given the large debt taken on to acquire Spectra? Does 5i feel the debt/equity mix was appropriate on the Spectra purchase? Does 5i see any reason to be concerned about "culture clash" between the management groups or other integration risk? Thank you for your comments. Edward

Q: Could you pls. provide your current thinking about the Canadian pipeline and related services sector?
Which companies would be in your top 3 and how would you rate today's buying opportunity? My historical context is that PE's are lofty and yields were low but are improving as sector stock values decline. At what point would your top choices be a compelling buy as a long term hold for the income oriented investor?
Thanks, Hugh

Q: I hold the above companies (pretty much at equal weights) in my Utilities portfolio. I need to trim because I am overweight in the sector. Perhaps I should reduce the number of holdings by 1 full position. May I please have your opinion. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team
I yearn for a position in a pipeline company. Do you think the sector is fully valued at this point, or could one of the group be cheap, or at least be reasonably priced, and provide growth possibilities. I am anticipating that the oil price will increase over the next few years.
