Q: Peter; Not really a question but some info on FTS. There is an article in the NYT weekend edition entitled The New Chapter in an Energy Fight which details the fight between power companies trying to build gas powers plants vs renewable ones- Tucson Electric - a sub of FTS now - are building a solar and storage plant for a very low rate vs gas . They are way ahead of the curve .

Q: Hi
I hold all these stocks in a non registered account, to take advantage of their dripping and tax advantages. I have the $ to buy another holding. What top 3 companies do you suggest to add to this mix for a long term hold, my goal is the highest dividend possible, with as little risk as possible. Also, do you have any issues with the compaies already held? I also have other growthier holdings in my tfsa as well as etfs for US and International exposure in my RRSP.
thank you

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and Team,

I hold BNS, BEP.UN, FTS, KXS, PBH and TRP in my child's RESP account and it has been performing quite well. With another 8 years to go, should I just add to the existing positions or add something else?

Thanks.

Q: I am aiming for a 20-stock (or slightly less) portfolio of dividend payers. So each position will be 5% or slightly more.

In the pipeline / utility sectors I currently have ENB, TRP and BEP.UN. I am hoping to add one of the stocks below. I have a preference for good dividend growth and good management, but would prefer not to have too much overlap with BEP.UN if possible. Mind you, I suppose BEP.UN is quite diversified geographically which might make a case for being different anyway (your opinion ?). Which one would be the best fit, or is BEP.UN enough ?......

Canadian Utilities (CU)
Fortis (FTS)
Emera (EMA)
Algonquin Power (AQN)

Thanks.
Jim

Q: Based on current evaluations, would you swap FTS for ENB? Currently, also own BEP. I have owned FTS for a few years and have no concerns but wondering if ENB might provide a bit more upside (and larger dividend) at this point with a minimal change in risk. Owned in RRSP so no tax issues and doing this for a long term hold.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: I'm looking at adding a blue chip company and I'm down to either TRI or FTS. My main emphasis is growth in the next three years and view dividend yield as a "fringe benefit". Since TRI have a major run up in the last year or so, can that momentum be sustained, hence FTS may be a better choice at this juncture? What's your view? Are there other names I should consider as well? Thanks.
