Q: I'm generally underweight energy and was thinking of averaging down on TOU and ENB and starting a position in CNQ.

I'm a bit hesitant with ENB.

Any concerns? Or anything I should be aware of?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Over the years, I have heard some fund managers calling the ENB business model deeply flawed: taking on more debt to fuel ”growth” while simultaneously raising the dividend. If ENB was truly creating shareholder value I would expect that to be reflected in the stock price over a long period of time. Yet ENB stock has been flat for nearly a decade. Is it reasonable for investors to take on equity risk in order to earn 6% rate of return in a company with increasing debt? Would it not be better to invest in a company that can demonstrate some organic growth or accretive acquisitions?

Appreciate your perspective. Thanks.

Q: I have been reading the oversupply to come on Lng gas etc in 2025 because of over building/over supply.
I am wondering after watching the above slip downward if this is just passing phase related to current gas stories or is this something I should consider selling and investing in more stable products. Appreciate your input. thanks. Maureen

Q: Many companies have become addicted to low interest rates over the last decade. Assuming that interest rates stay where they are for years to come (a rate once considered somewhat "normal"), do you see any problem with any of these blue chip stocks maintaining their dividend ? I'm sure over the course of the next 5 years or so some of these companies will need to renew debt at higher rates.

Q: In my RIF account I have RY, TD, & ENB reset preferred shares all bought when issued at $25, now trading in the $14 to $17 range. The accumulated book value is $61K. My present annual yield is 3.9%, 3.8% & 4.4% respectively. The reset year is 2024, when the reset interest rate will be the Bank of Canada 5 year rate plus 2.3%, 2.4% & 2.7% respectively. So my question is, with interest rates presently rising, in your opinion are they worth holding to the reset date or should I accept my loss & redeem them now. Thanks … Cal

Q: I have owned these stocks in my non-registered account for 12 years except ETF IGM, T, CTC.A (bought 2 yr ago - up a fair bit). T bought 5 years or so ago. GSY, MFC & GRT.UN a year ago - all 3 up nicely. I buy dividend growers for the most part. I have been retired for quite a while - so, more interested in dividend growth. Large portfolio with banks 40% of total. Do not worry about market downturns: add to positions when they go on sale -08/09 and 2020. Sitting on cash and looking to add to these positions . Do not own ENF.CA - typo. Suggestions?? IFC 5-6 years up 220% including dividends.

Q: PPL vs ENB for total return potential over 5 years? Compared fundamentals on RBC direct investing and PPL is cheaper, higher return on equity, less debt and more profitable. After my review I concluded PPL may now be a better stock . Do you agree?

Q: Currently own Enbridge in the energy infrastructure space and am not unhappy with it. But considering switch to Cheniere . How would you think about such a switch ? Primarily a trade - off between income and growth ?
Other considerations ?
And more specifically , while accepting that all utility type companies operate with high debt levels , how would debt levels compare between these two companies .
Thank- you.

Q: I am considering replacing ENB with NXF.B in my RRSP account. Two questions: (1) what do you think of this change considering the likelihood of increased taxation for O&G producers - i.e. "fair share tax"? (2) Are there tax implications when holding NXF.B in RRSP i.e. will I receive the stated 10% dividend or there will be some reductions due to the fact that this is CDN ETF holding non-CDN stocks?
