Q: Earnings numbers for IPL please and how they compare YOY. Thank you.

I am a fan of the polypropylene plant IPL are building to make a value added product using propane in AB. How does IPLP fit into that picture? How similar/disimilar is TCL.A's recently acquired packaging business to IPLP?

Q: Hello 5i, Thanks very much for all you do for your members. I look at your organization as the "Robin Hood" of the Canadian financial industry. My question today is: I sold my ECI this last week and decided to capture the gain and redistribute to one new position with the proceeds. I'm looking for another dividend aristocrat (as identified by the S&P index or one that could be as CIX will be getting the boot) I'm closing in on retirement but still like to stay in the growing type names. Not terribly worried about maximizing my income at this point. Which of my choices do you think has the most upside over the next 5 years.

Q: Hell 5i Team,
I am planning to cash out mutual fund and invest it in stocks in my wife's RRSP account (75K) which will be around 1/3 od my existing portfolio (150K). I have my TFSA and RRSP invested in stocks (mostly from Balanced Equity portfolio). I am considering these names, which I don't have in my existing portfolio. Do you see any concern with any name? Please suggest a couple of names for growth potential, but not too risky.
Thanks for the great service.

Q: I have small position in TRP and want to add more. I want dividend income and was thinking of selling it and substituting PPL or IPL for better dividends. Would you add to TRP or sell and buy one of the others instead?
Many thanks,
Jen

Q: Hi 5I,
With a zero weight I am considering a possible two of the three mentioned companies as new income generating positions.
Two part question - (1) which are most suitable for more stable income (& why) and (2) considering the interest rate environment, would this be less than ideal timing to start new these as new positions

Thanks again
Mike

Q: With the current difficulties with pipeline development and the negative view of oil sands, how do you view the risk profile of the pipeline business in general and would you rate the risk differently for these three companies?

Q: Hi Peter. To my dismay, I currently hold too many pipelines... Enbridge, Pembina, & Inter Pipeline. I wish to cut 2 of the positions and then possibly pickup Algonquin Power. I also own Fortis & Emera. Which pipeline would you suggest keeping, and your reasoning behind it. Also, do you feel 3 power utilities would then be too many and if so, which 2 would you prefer? I welcome your input. Thanks.

Q: I hold both IPL (1.7%) and ENG (2.2%) in my portfolio. ENB has been hit harder over the last 12 months. Do you believe it will have a better recovery than IPL and if so, would it make sense to sell IPL and add to my ENB position. They would be no tax consequences.
