Q: This a followup to Curtis's question in which you said: "We would consider interest rate risk a greater worry than company credit risk." What effect do you forsee on ALA do the rising rates in the US? Would 1% rise mean a decline, and what size of decline could one anticipate? Thanks, Mark

Q: Hello team -

A recent BNN guest has a sell recommendation on Altagas, with the comment about the company having to borrow to pay the dividend (if I recall correctly).

I know that you seem to be comfortable with their ability to pay the dividend, and that the WGL acquisition will support future dividend growth. Will this support happen soon or a few years from now? I was also wondering if an increase in interest rates would affect their ability to pay the dividend.

Thanks.

Jim

Q: Hi Peter & Co.,
Fabrice Taylor made an interesting comment on ALA on today's Market Call show. He said his analysis of ALA's cash flow statement suggests that the dividend is being funded through borrowing and equity raises, and not cash flow from operations. This is the first time I've heard a comment like this about ALA's dividend and its implications for the sustainability of the dividend. What's your take on this?
Many thanks,
Brian

Q: Hello, Thanks for your wonderful note about the Altagas subscription recipts. This seems to be case of heads, I win a decent amount (10+%) tails i still win some (2.8%+). I called my broker he says Ala.r is trading in the open market..not in ipo any longer. I wanted to clarify if Ala.r is the correct symbol if i were to go through with this..actually i already did make small purchase. Now thinking about half position.Thanks again.

Q: Thoughts on Alta gas valuation and stability of dividend. I only have a half position of Raging River. I am going to pull the trigger and take a full position. Would you add AlA at this time or recommend another. I'm open to risk and have a time frame of 5 years plus.
