Q: Hi Team,
I am currently holding PPL in a cash account for energy exposure and as one of my few dividend plays. I like the company, but I am also looking at buying either of or all 3 of MG, BAM, BEP but I would need to raise cash to do so. Over the long term (10yrs), even though PPL div is much higher, which of the names listed do you believe to have the highest potential total return? Would it be advisable to sell some PPl and diversify into one of the other names listed? If so which would you buy today, or all of them? Thanks again

Q: Good afternoon,

Does it make sense to add BEP and BIP if I already own BAM?

I'd be buying BEP to upgrade over my current PIF holding, and BIP seems interesting for a variety of reasons, just wondered if you think I'm covered with these essentially already with BAM.A? Thanks.

Q: On Yahoo finance today at 11:32 adt, it show a volume spike of 52.9K. On the TSX site under "Trading History" for the same time, there is no indication of that many shares being traded, not even close. On my Questrade "Time and Sales" it's not there either. I thought volume on bar charts where actual traded shares, if this is not the case, is what I'm seeing on Yahoo the level of Ask and Buys, but not actual trades? Thanks,

Q: Hello: I'm looking for several buy-and-hold "forever" companies. When I die, they will go to my children. Could you assess the above in those terms and rank order them, best first. I know you like all of these companies, but I"m not sure if you like them "forever." If you think I should drop any, please note. And if there are a couple not on the list that you think could be, also please note. Thank you for continued excellent service.

Q: At the time of writing this, BEPC is trading at $50.66 and BEP.UN at $47.49.......their corresponding 52 week highs are $80.30 and $63.39 which means that BEPC is 58.5% off its high and BEP.UN is 33.5% off its market high. First blush would suggest that BEPC may have a much greater upside from here but that of course relies entirely on what the market determines is a fair premium for BEPC. Currently that premium has dropped to 6.7% . Do you feel that this is too low, too high or just about right??
