Q: Hello, I have these 3 pipeline cos plus BIPC and I would like to reduce these to 2 stocks (should be sufficient to cover the sector) among ENB, PPL and KEY. I want to keep BIPC. Which ones should I keep and why? I have held these 3 stocks for over 20 years and plan to hold 2 of these for at least another 5 years, possibly 10. Thanks

Q: Could you please share your recommendations regarding my energy sector investments? I feel like I have too many and some may be overlapping. Additionally, could you suggest a few investments inside this sector that are currently not being covered?

I aim for a balanced approach with a mix of growth and income, intending to hold these investments for more than two years.

Thank you,

My RRIF account holds ARX, TOU, HWX, PPL, OBE, & PD they represent 33.3 % of the portfolio, PPL alone is 15% of the total portfolio. I know I should reduce this exposure what would you suggest?

Q: In my TFSA, I have a double position in BN, and full positions in POW, SIS, PPL, CSH.UN, TRI and BAM. I also have half positions in AFN (which I know is not your favourite) and DSG. Would you add to one/some of these (which?) or add something different. After my 2026 contribution, I will have enough cash to about a half position. I prefer to consider Canadian stocks for this account.

Thanks for you help.

Q: Hello Peter,
Your opinion please.

With US going to 'run' Venezuelan heavy oil, what is the market reaction and impact to WCS, the producers and the pipelines that move Alberta oil to the USA? Is it time to go underweight on the energy sector for this year?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Good afternoon Troops. 65y/o retiree looking to reduce my holdings and consolidate into an easier to manage portfolio. I have chosen six ETFs to give me some international and US exposure, some using covered calls for income. For the Canadian side of my portfolio I have chosen these ten stocks that would be my core holdings going forward. Can you please comment on this strategy and if these stocks are suitable for my situation. Cheers.

Q: Hello 5i,

I am looking to add one name to my income portfolio and the names mentioned above come to mind.
I own TD, ENB and FTS, so have a representation in the sectors. I would like a high dividend (who doesn't) and a dividend grower too.
Would you have a favorite amongst these or would prefer another name?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hi Peter
I owned all 3 pipelines ENB, PPL, and TRP for dividends and slow capital appreciation;
all 3 have been declining in the last few weeks
are there any fundamental reasons ? I know that the prices of oil is weak and there are obstacles to try to build a pipeline from Alberta to BC , some talks for pipeline to the USA, I am looking for opportunity to add to my existing position, should I wait longer? is there a seasonal trade timing? Thanks

Q: Can I get a list of six good dividend paying stocks or ETF's that pay around 5%, that I can buy in my Canadian account but don't necessarily have to be Canadian. I am not concerned about sector but would like the dividend to be reasonably safe. Thanks.
