Q: I hold these 3 bowzers and am obviously getting whipped. Is there any sound logic in combining the 3 into just one of them and that one would have the highest probability of the quickest recovery? I would turn to 5I for advice on which one that would be.

You can subtract 3 credits for this one.

Thank you

Q: Peter and team

Thanks to member Walter, I have looked at a website that lists the U.S. preferred shares that trade on an American exchange. I realize that while U.S. stocks are not your focus are there any preferred shares that trade on an American exchange that you would recommend for an income investor? Are these p/s any more complicated than ones issued by Canadian companies ? I believe there are some companies on the TSX that have issued preferred shares that pay in U.S. $ and still are eligible for the Dividend Tax Credit. Are you familiar with any of these names?

Thanks

Paul

Q: Hi Peter
I currently own both railways. CP does not produce much in the way of a dividend while CN does.
I depend on Dividends for my retirement, and am looking for for cash flow. I notice ALTA Gas pays 9% and has done so for some time. Would it be advisable to sell my CP and buy into ALTA. I currently hold 400 shares of CP and 800 of CN
Thank you
John

Q: At what point does 5i acknowledge the severity of the problems at these companies, including reducing their 5i stock ratings? Both of these companies have been severely punished for very good reasons. Too much debt. Cant get the prices they wanted for asset sales. Cant sell shares into the market for a decent price. Interest rates are rising. They have backed themselves into a corner and have really damaged themselves, ENB more so then ALA. ENB future dividend increases are a fantasy, a cut is more likely. Yet still rated an A- ?

Q: Hello 5i team - you have/had a great long weekend!

My question is about Alta gas and their receipts for the WGL deal. The receipts are trading at 24.65 and the stock is at 23.84. If I understand this correctly if the deal goes through the receipts turn into stock so at 24.65 that would still be 8.88% dividend. And if the deal falls it gets paid at $31 per that would be a 25%+ gain ... what am I missing here - why shouldn't I purchase these receipts?

Thanks,
Sean.

Q: you seem to get an awful lot of questions on altagas which i do not own, if i did buy it, i would only buy the receipts and not for the yield but for the capital appreciation if the deal fails.
my question is what are the chances the deal does not go thru. i think the chances of no deal are close to zero but value your opinion. dave

Q: I'm interested in buying more ALA for a long term hold, primarily for income. I have a couple of questions:
1) It seems the market is pretty negative on the acquisition. What do you think the main concerns are?
2) Normally, when a dividend yield gets this high the market is saying it is not sustainable. What's your opinion?
Thanks

Q: From your original background provided by 5i, am I correct that even if the WGL Holdings merger does not go through that holders of these subscription receipts will be guaranteed the issue price of $31?
I understand the last hurdles are expected to be resolved in Q2 of 2018 yet the ALAr almost hit its 52-wk low of $24.61 today, a 20.6% discount. Are investors concerned Alta Gas will default on their financial commitment?
