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: 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.
Q: FTS.PR.G I have a question about this pref share which generally trades within a tight range. That hasn't been the case over the last three quarters in comparison to a range of similar investments. Is this an isolated case or has this pref being down graded over the last six months?
Q: Hi guys I would like your opinion on which utility stock, I have aqn,fts and npi, I should reduce in order to buy pwf or could you suggest a similar type of company with a prospected of capital gains when interest rates raise.
Q: Fortis (FTS)--re the attempt to acquire Central Hudson. There are disturbing reports of Fortis' behaviour concerning their work in Belize and other overseas areas. Do you know how much truth there is to these claims? Or are the CH people just so against the use of fracked shale gas that they'll say anything to block Fortis in their area? This could influence my retaining (or not) of my stock in Fortis. On a strictly financial basis, would you keep Fortis at this point?
Q: I am interested in some Fortis preferred shares, there are a number of series on the market, series C are being payed out. Any suggestion which of the several series would be suitable. Are the series renewable after five years or are they perpetual.

Q: I own two utility stocks Fortis(FTS) and Algonquin(AQN)and am considering selling one to purchase a more economicly sensitive , growthier name. They carry about the same capital gain so that is not a consideration. The stock I keep would be a long-term core holding which I could basically hold, monitor, collect the dividend and forget about. For this reason, I am leaning toward keeping the larger cap Fortis but would appreciate your thoughts and considerations. Thank-you.
Q: I am wondering why the preferred shares of Fortis are trending down in price. Fortis, common shares (FTS) have a flat trend line, however, its FTS.PR.G preferred share price is trending down, despite an annual yield of 5.2%. I have not been able to discover why this downward trend is occurring. Do you have any thoughts on why this is happening? Thanks … Cal Chapman
