Q: Have a loss in ALA (and ALA-R) and am considering selling it and replacing with ENB. Could always use the tax loss. Do you think this is worthwhile strategy. Do you prefer ENB to ALA. If so why or why not? Growth is more important than income at this time in our life. We follow your balanced portfolio but had ALA prior to joining and have not switched it out.
Q: KWH.UN or ALA and why?
Q: Peter,
Could you please advise whether ala.r still makes more sense as an investment than ala. Correct me if I've got anything wrong here: Given the share price difference between when receipts were issued ($31) and today's share price (~$25). If the WGL merger fails, one gets the $31, right? If it succeeds, one gets equivalent shares in ala which appears to be making a decent recovery in share price. Meanwhile, one collects the ~9% dividend.
The only downside I see to ala.r versus ala is that the bid/ask spread is wider (is this because it trades more thinly). In this case, do you recommend a limit order?

Q: Why does AltaGas have two separate tickers on the TSX..... ALA and ALA.R ???? I've probably missed something here but your insight would be appreciated.
Q: Peter; Do you see any news besides the upgrade to account for the quick pop up and drop down this am? Thanks. Rod
Q: In my TFSA, I bought ALA @ $26.38. Should I SELL and buy ALA.R since they are BOTH trading around the same?
Thanks!
Thanks!

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.

Q: Over the past year it seems like most Canadian pipelines are buying a major US pipeline: Altagas, TRP, Enbridge, Fortis, Emera, Pembina, other? Why does this suddenly make economic sense, what makes US purchases so affordable?
Q: Good Morning Peter and Team
From a tax perspective are ALA.R and ALA considered distinct and separate equities with respect to the 30 day rule? Could I sell ALA.R at a taxable capital loss and then acquire ALA within 30 days?
Thanks for your great service.

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 this stage, with the WGL acquisition likely to go through, is it better to switch from the subscription receipts to the common shares? Specially since the common is trading at a discount to the receipts. Thx
Q: Hello
Just wondering how close we are to cashing in the receipts for $31.00?
Thanks

Q: In an announcement on apr4 altagas mentioned that they might sell minority interests in their northern bc hydro assets as part of wgl financing. Do you think this might be considered negative by the market?
