Q: I saw Eric Nuttall’s article on the case for building more pipelines to broaden our customer base for Canadian energy. I like the idea and think the public could (finally) get behind this. What companies would benefit from this type of project in the short term? Long term?

Q: Good morning all; I've a two part question for you, First, the listed investments are in a RRIF. The current plan is to extract only dividend income, and have some modest stock growth.

I have funds for one more position and I'd like 3 of your suggestions that would add decent dividend income with modest growth of stock value.

Second question is about XLB. It was originally purchased as a post-inflation investment looking for some appreciation as rates declined. While Canada may get a bit more downward adjustment I believe Trump policy will be inflationary. What would be a sound replacement, meeting the dividend and growth goals for the account?

Thanks as always.

Dave

Q: With Bank of Canada cutting interest rates and oil up, why would pipelines be lower? Shouldn't this also be good for telcos/pipelines/reits or are institutions positioning themselves in cyclicals for new a economic cycle so these rate dependent areas areas are under pressure. I have noticed Pembina was doing well but has been consistently down for many days. Thank you!

Q: In my RRif I own Key & PPl, high yielding stocks to help cover forced withdrawals.
They declined on Friday despite a drop in bond yields.
So you think the decline was due to a drop in Wti?
Trump intends to increase tariffs which could result in higher interest rates due to inflation and his energy policy could lead to lower oil prices.
As a result of the above should I reduce key & Ppl & invest the proceeds into companies that will benefit from higher interest rates such as Mfc & Slf

Q: a while back you preferred PPL over TRP that worked out nicely; thank you.
now TRP stock has recovered and pays higher dividend (so does ENB)
would you still keep PPL or now ENB/TRP has more upside (growth + div)
PPL + ENB is only 4% of my portfolio; I read ENB is benefiting from all the electricity demand so perhaps there is growth there?

Q: I currently own Enbridge. I am considering selling ENB for Pembina. Enbridge a 7.2% dividend, is so large now, it will take a lot to move its needle. Whereas Pembina has a smaller dividend but is a bit more nibble and perhaps has more upside for it's stock to move higher. Would you agree?
