Investment Q&A

Q: Could you please comment on Keyera as a several year (3+ year) hold? Do you currently estimate that the dividend is sustainable?
Many thanks.

Q: Good morning,
I'm 70 years old and with yet a new year upon us and a review of the holdings in my non reg equity portfolio, I'm concerned that my $650K non reg equity portfolio has slowly grown into a "hodge podge" of miscellaneous holdings that need to be trimmed, better concentrated (minimum 5% per holding) along with the addition of a few additional names in sectors that are not currently represented. My current holdings are as follows:
AQN (3.3%),BCE (11.6%)BAM.A(3.8%),CU (4.5%),DIV(2.8%),EMA (2.4%),KEY(2.2%),XIU(5.2%),XIC (33.2%),XDV(18.4%),SLF(3.6%),T(2.9%),T(2.9%),MAW120(3.1%)MAW102(3%).
I would very much appreciate your suggestions on how to best to adjust my current non reg equity portfolio to make it easier to manage and follow. I'm open to adding an appropriate mix of ETFs or Mawer equity funds as need be. My RRSP and TFSA are pretty much all populated with a mix of relatively low MER Mawer equity funds which have performed well over the years. I thank you in advance and look forward to hearing your sage advice and recommendations.

Q: We have been long term holders of keyera and still in a positive position but sliding fast would you continue to hold or just sell?

Q: do these companies deserve a place in my income portfolio ?

Q: Both reported today. One up and one down. How do you rate them?
Thanks for your opinion,
Bryn

Q: can u pls comment on their earnings and what should we look forward to with this company? txs as always...

Q: I recently purchased these interest sensitive stocks with the idea of obtaining good dividend paying companies at a reasonable valuation. Each are a 3% weighting. Too much in this sector? If rates continue to rise, can these companies pass on any increase? Are these companies OK if there is a gradual increase in interest rates or should the sector be avoided?

Thanks
Dave.

Q: Hi team:
I have some both in RRSP and non-RRSP acount

due to the rise of interest rates and the lack of interest in oil
and gas (until recently)
it is both down from 17-20%)
should I hang on due to the recent interest in oil from investors
or should I replace them with other pipelines
I already have some TRP, PPL and for utilities, I have AQN, FTS and EMA
many thanks

Q: Hello 5i,
The market seems not to like the most recent news from KEY about a new storage and terminal investment in Cushing, Okla.
While KEY doesn't specify (that I saw) the funding, they indicate it is a manageable project. Superficially, I would see this as being far more positive news than negative - what am I missing here? Just the potential increase in either debt and/or share dilution?
Thanks for any insight you can provide!!
Cheers,
Mike

Q: Considering the importance of NA natural gas feeding LNG aspiration of the Pacific Northwest, when will ALA start getting some of the respect that it deserves? Please provide 2019 cash flow estimates compared to KEY. Please provide 2018 & 2019 payout ratio based on cash flow.

You can subtract 3 credits for this one.

Thank you

Q: Hi Team
one of the market call speakers
suggest to own Key instead of Ala

I have abit of both and Altagas is under water
so is Key
would it be wise to sell Ala for a capital loss and switch to Key
for a long term hold for mainly income and abit of capital gains ?
thanks
Michael

Q: Hello,

If there is never another new pipeline built in Canada (which I feel is a real possibility), how would you view pipelines companies as long term investments going forward?

Q: Can you please give your assessment of Keyera's latest quarterly results, released today? Stock price has been caught up in the interest-sensitive selloff this year, perhaps unjustly? The business appears to be doing fine - good growth prospects, along with dividend growth. What's not to like here?
Thanks,
Brian

Q: all of these holdings are between 1-3%...financials i hold 13% with energy next largest at 6%...yet all of these are hitting 52 week lows...which would you consider dumping if any...yours truly dazed and confused...

Q: Hi 5i Team,
I own positions in IPL, ENF, KEY, ALA, and PPL. I am a long-term income investor who (like many) is a bit disappointed with the relative (to the market) decline in the share prices of these companies. All of them have been good at growing their businesses, earnings, and cash flows, and dividends - cornerstones of my investment strategy. On a fundamental basis, I don't see anything wrong with any of them, and am inclined to stay the course, thinking the market will eventually reward these companies. I recognize that many of these companies carry significant debt (at low, long-term rates I would think, and not variable rates), and the current Canadian regulatory environment is a negative for the industry.
Can you poke any holes in my investment strategy with respect to these names?

Q: We're now $1900 underwater on 800 shares of KEY. Any hope for the future? Sell, hold buy? These are troubled times ! Many thanks - Ted

Q: I am slightly overweight the semi-pipeline sector with TRP, ENB, IPL and KEY, totalling just under 20%. I am thinking about selling KEY and either holding the cash or putting part of it into IPL given IPL's recent price and yield. KEY and IPL total about 5.5% of my portfolio. I also intend to sell some TRP when it gets back over $60. I am a patient investor with no need for funds (ever) but I will be 70 this year. How would you compare IPL and KEY in this scenario? Thanks. Great service and I've tried a lot of others.
