Q: Good morning,

I added these at the very low point of energy. 5% equal weight of my portfolio, now it becomes 20% ish. I am looking to cutting down by half. Should I keep the pipelines ENB & PPL & VET and cut the rest or just reduce across equal weight. Your thought is very much appreciated.

Thanks again!

Q: I've noted lately that Canadian pipeline company's price appreciation is actually doing better than usual. I currently own PPL, ALA, and ENB, all of which are making good gains, (especillay Pembina). I find this unusual for companies that pay such high dividends.. Just wondering if my observation is correct and if so why is this happening? Also, do you think in the present environment the rate of appreciation of their stock prices will continue upwards for the short and long term?

Hello Peter:
We have to choose to add to two among these higher dividend stocks in my Cash account. These will be held for the next 20 years and want the best "sleep-at-Night" investments that hopefully never need to be sold.
I am looking for strong growing dividends plus decent compound 10 year share price growth of at least 6%.
BNS, RY, BCE, T, FTS, PPL, SLF, CNR.
I know CNR dividend is only 1.8% but it may be outweighed by growth?
Any other suggestions are welcome.
Could you please arrange them best first for safety and dividend growth
Thank you............. Paul W. K.

MEG: 14% of total, 309.59% gain

POW: 6.72% of total, 67.89% gain

Q: I am considering increasing my investments in pipelines. I am looking at Enbridge but I have noticed over the last 3 weeks a number of analysts on BNN when questioned about Enbridge have indicated that although there is nothing wrong with Enbridge they consider that there at better opportunities in the sector - they seem to talking about Pembina & TC Energy. I would be interested to hear your thoughts. I know that your recent review of Enbridge was B+

Q: I am trying to steer my and my husband's TFSA's more toward growth. The stocks listed are some of the stocks in our TFSA's that I am considering swapping out in favour of growth-oriented stocks on my watchlist. Can I get your opinion? Do you think that any of the listed stocks have enough growth potential to belong in a growth-oriented TFSA?
Thank you, Doris
