Q: Dear 5i
When stocks that payout dividends/interest monthly i assume the share price of the stock temporarily goes down after the distribution is payed . If that is correct would it be wise to buy into that stock at that point when the stock is lower after the distribution ?
Also i can't decide whether to top up my enbridge position or start a new position in pembina . Do you have a preference ? Is it a good time to take on an energy position in addition to CNQ which i currently have ?
Thanks again and deduct as necessary .

Q: For a retired investor seeking stable dividends and some growth, how would you rank these companies if one had $100,000 to invest? Are there other companies you would recommend and how would they fit into the rankings?. Current portfolio is quite well diversified, so sector is not an issue. Thank you, Ian

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Can you please compare Pembina to TC Energy? Pembina seems to have been more conservative in terms of leverage and have a similar yield and a pretty range bound stock versus TRP which just keeps sliding.

Pembina seems to have some good strategic growth ahead of it here and TRP makes me wonder if they are chasing shiny things instead of what works and I wonder if they have the money to fund these projects.
Thoughts?

Q: As a TRP dividend investor of 77 years old are the problems with the XL pipeline already baked? As I am a value investor for the most part would you suggest a switch to PPL or other suggestion? I have a 5 - 8 year time frame. I also hold ENB, SU, XOM and CVX as well as NXF as the energy part of my portfolio.

Q: Hi 5i Team, I'm a retired dividend investor supported by portfolio dividends.

Currently, I'm holding positions in ENB and TRP for my pipeline weighting. I'm concerned about the lagging performance of TRP. What are your thoughts on trading TRP for PPL? Alternatively could also consider GEI or KEY.

Can you please list your favorite pipeline selections in order of growth and safety?

I like to hold 2 sector companies for diversification. Also, as TRP has been flat there are no cap gains. Please advise.

Thank you.

Q: Dividends of these companies are interesting for a retiree. I have money to put in two of them. Favoring Enbridge. In between the two other two, PPL with is involvement with the LNG in Kitimat I would be inclined. TRP I'm certain would be fine except for their problem with Line 5. What's your take on this.
