Q: Tax loss versus growth considerations question. Holding ENB for several years and still below water. Have held PPL for a couple of years prior to recent meltdown and recently decided to sell PPL to realize tax loss using TRP as proxy for next several weeks until 30 day period has expired. Looking at your recent answers to questions on these 3 pipeline operators (I only need two, maybe one) and considering TRP focus on a friendlier fossil fuel firmament USA got me to thinking that maybe I should just hang on to TRP despite Keystone and Crooked Joe threats rather than going back to PPL after 30 day period is up... In your view which of the 3 companies have the better growth prospects in USA space given all three are down in this negative fossil fuel energy space? Portfolio is growth/income focused tilted mostly to equities. Retired but do not depend on portfolio income.

Q: With a 5-10 year time horizon, can you recommend any dividend stocks which have stable dividends and high yields due to current market conditions? I think that RioCan and Enbridge both fall into this category and would be interested in similar stocks that have a yield in the 8-10% range.

Q: How would you rank these three companies in terms of growth, and safety. I am not too keen about dividend as I do not need the income. However, I am concerned about preservation of capital. Please explain.
Thank you

Q: What are your thoughts on making an entry into oil via Suncor and/or Enbridge? The stocks haven't quite rebounded to their pre-covid levels yet. Assuming oil returns to prices of old, do you think they're good buys? Do you prefer one over the other?

Q: I've owned both these for over 11 years now and have been very happy with net returns (dividend compounding + capital). Not overweight at all: 1300 shares of each - added to over the years on weakness. My concern is the hysteria over climate change and governments actions and potential actions that have hurt O & G companies. I believe that both these companies have large investments in utility businesses and plans to expand that part of their business. Q: should I continue to hold them, add to ENB (price low), or leave my positions alone.

Q: I hold these energy related stocks which are all in the red from 15% to 45%. In what order would you rank them? Would you sell all of them or keep some? If there is no tax loss that can be offset against tax gain, would you still sell some or all of them?

Q: Firstly, thank you for your outstanding guidance.
The first 3 stocks haven’t bounced back yet and are still quite a bit down. My question is -would it be better to try and recover $ in the Growth stocks listed below the 3 or reinvest with A&W, BMO, PRU and wait it out for another year.
I have positions in the growth stocks that could be deeper in BNS, Telus, Enbridge, TCP, Kinaxis, Qualcomm. And if you suggest that the growth stocks make more sense to recoup money faster, could you rank these from strongest to weakest-(Potential for growth). Thank you.

Q: Own ATE,BAM,BEP.UN,BYD,CPX,DSG,LSPD,PKI,PPL,REAL,SHOP, TFII,VFV,VGG,WSP,VIG, VOO.
I have 8.25 % in ENB with %UNR of -4.57 and 4.32% in PPL with % UNR of -30.67. Should I sell PPL and allocate funds elsewhere? Any sector other than oil and gas you would suggest allocating the funds. Sample of your top picks appreciated.

Thanks for your advice in the past. I like your new offerings. Due for renewable in November will be taking advantage of it.

Thanks

Q: I was wondering Enbridge has a place in a carbon free energy world. As far as I know, that would involve transmission of natural gas (a fuel used more for the transition away from carbon based energy), or perhaps hydrogen. None of this will happen for a while, however sentiment seems to Really affect the stock price.
