Q: I have BPY.un in my TFSA and I intend to sell it as soon as Brookfield raises its offer (hopefully). To replace it, I will choose between PPL and KEY; I own both in a cash account and my strategy for my TFSA is to "hide" higher-yield equities in it, hence my willingness for putting PPL or KEY in my TFSA. For a 10+ years holding, which one should I choose if I want dividend growth, some capital growth and lower volatility?

Thanks, Martin

Q: Our investment group holds these 3 stocks in our portfolio and they seem to have not increased over time. Are these companies you would recommend selling or keeping as we don't by and sell rather hold and hope for steady growth? What are the reasons for their recent performance?

Q: I continue to hold CPG long hoping for further recovery. Given the oil price seems to be holding a bit higher I am anticipating a continued ramping up of free cash flow and rising SP. Overall this has been a dog in my portfolio. Based on valuation metrics and the +$45 price of oil is a $10 target (mine) reasonable in the next year or two? Or would there have to be a significantly higher oil price to get that SP level? If the question is too specific general commentary is fine. Thank-you for your service. 2020 was my best year for investing, ever.

Q: I sold ENB for tax loss purposes. My interest is capital gains and a good dividend. Should I replace the sold holding with ENB, KMI, PPL, or TRP? I like both ENB and TRP but find it hard to choose between the two. What would you recommend among the four and why?

Q: Looking for your thoughts (arguments pro and con) and perhaps suggestion. I'm currently out of Pembina Pipelines (PPL:CA) for tax loss harvesting (I've temporarily added to my ENB holding to maintain sector exposure). But here's my question: should I just avoid rebuying PPL (after 30 days)? Currently, I have exposure to both TRP (2.7% weighting) and ENB (2.1% weighting) within our family's ~55-stock portfolio. Maybe it is "best" (simpler, higher-quality companies, etc., at expense of somewhat less diversification) to just keep the 2 pipeline stocks (TRP, ENB) versus going back to having 3 stocks (TRP, ENB, PPL), but maintaining similar overall pipeline weighting (~5% of portfolio). What do you think?
