Q: Hi Peter and 5i Team,
What is your opinion on Canadian Utilities (CU) and Fortis (FTS) at current prices. This would be for a safe long term investment. I am looking for income and some growth.
Thanks for the excellent service you provide.

Q: Good morning,
Looking to see if you have a view as to the recent weakness in Fortis, especially as it doesn't appear that in the near term rates are poised to move higher,a common headwind for utilities.
Thank you,
Brad

Q: Hi guys, I have fortis in my u.s. side of my portfolio, your thoughts on selling and purchasing more of either vig or spy.

Q: In most of your replies to questions about Fortis, you emphasized that the utility was fine for income but not to expect much in the way of capital gains. In 2014, the company's shares rose almost 30%! With 20-20 hindsight, can you explain the contradiction and can you tell me if the driver(or drivers)for that solid gain will still in place for 2015?

Q: Fortis is having a very good week when looking at a daily chart. How is the valuation? Would you add to an existing position at this level?

Q: re: Utilities & Interest Rates
I know we all continue to watch for any mention that it is time to raise interest rates. And it appears to me to be inevitable - just a matter of when.
It is obvious which sectors should benefit once this happens - banks, insurance, lenders - also just as obvious we can probably expect REITs to take a hit when they go up.
Can you please comment on what effect rising interest rates will have on Utilities? And which companies in particular we should have our eyes on when rates do go up?
Thanks for all you do

Q: Is this a good entry point for Fortis? Thank you.
Q: Hi team:
I am aware that Peter put alot of weight in fundamentals of a company/stock before a recommnedaton is being made
I was watching the market call on BNN recently, and the comments was made re: utilities tend to do well in the summer
I do have FTS and EMA and CU and would not hesitate to add more
Is there any particular reason from a seasonal or fundamental point of view to support this trend ?
(I do have some ZUT in my RRSP as well),
many thanks !

Q: Re: FTS.IR
I am an owner of FTS and have been quite interested in following the merger/take over of UNS. I have been part of other take overs/buyouts with other companies but can't figure out why the .IR units are pounding so much higher. I was hoping you would be able to tell me what is happening with these .IR units and why they are gaining so much. Thanks

Q: What is your assessment on Fortis 4% unsecured subordinated convertible debentures that were closed this Jan
Q: Hi Team,
Do preferred shares generally follow the common shares [up or down] or are preferred shares more influenced by other factors such as interest rates?
As an example, I own FTS.PR.J - if the common shares of Fortis [FTS] keeps working its way back up to say $35.00, will my preferred come back to $25?

Q: would like your opinion on FTS and EMA, and which you may prefer
Q: I had an order in today for Fortis shares, but missed on my offer. I don't know whether to be happy or sad! As we now know, trading was haulted at the end of the day due to their announcement of purchasing UNS Energy of Arizona. Is 1.8B rather massive for Fortis? If the price moves downward tomorrow does one buy now, or wait until the dust settles? I was buying for the long term. I'm not too keen on purchasing companies heavily in debt. Your opinion of this deal would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, and Merry Christmas 5i staff.\

Q: I have held FTS for 3 years now with little growth, would EMA be better for growth . Thanks so much for your reply. As a recent new member really like the service.
Q: Hi Reter and team: Within the last week two analysts on BNN gave dramatically different assessments of Fortis. One figured it was a buy at current prices and that being a regulated utility its revenue would be allowed to rise with interest rates. The other thought it would never grow again and deserved to be shorted (shorting it was his third "pick"). Can you shed some light on this disagreement?
Q: Opinion on Fortis FTS
Is this a good long term investment.
IS current price a buying opportunity or do you see further weakness in price.

Q: Recently you gave me your opinion on Fortis and Emera. I am still looking at those and other options. I have Algonquin purchased in 2009 and Brookfield Renewable Energy purchased in 2013. Should I buy more of either of these?
Also what is your opinion of Northland Power. Thanks in advance.

Q: FTS & utility stocks in general? Talking heads on BNN are saying sell because interest rates are going to go up-dah? They have no where to go at some point but up & when they do it will be very slow and gradual-which means the economy is getting better. So, would you be selling utility companies? FTS made another acquisition and has a history of > dividends-30+ yr in a row.
