Investment Q&A

Q: hi, again I am asking for your top picks for income, I have a full position in BNS. if I hold your picks I may top up, if you think this is a good time to buy and why thx Jack.

Q: Hi 5I,
With a zero weight I am considering a possible two of the three mentioned companies as new income generating positions.
Two part question - (1) which are most suitable for more stable income (& why) and (2) considering the interest rate environment, would this be less than ideal timing to start new these as new positions

Thanks again
Mike

Q: Pipelines seem to be a tough area to do business in right now. The Line 3 project for ENB doesn't seem to be different- especially with the routing decision in MINN. Do you feel there is risk to the project being completed? If so, is it possible to quantify the damage to ENB? Alternatively, if they move ahead with the approved, but not desired route, can the added costs be worked through to movements in the share price? Trying to get a better understanding of possible risk on this.

Thanks

Q: I am interested is some dividend stock and wonder how you feel about IPL . Any other ideas in this category?

Q: Hi, I am trying to raise some cash and reallocate for buying a new position ( TCL.a).
Most of my holdings have done well ( many same as Balanced and a few from Growth 5i Portfolios) with moderate to sizable gains since inception with the exception of above names ( Negative YTD Only). I like the prospects of some of them with portfolio weights TOY (3.5%), SIS (3.5%)and SJ (2%).
BCE and ENB are fairly old holdings with 3.5% weight each and have not been acting well for a while. Over past few months, I have sold all KWH.un and most of ECI
( reduced to 0.75% weight), due to rising rates and other company specific concerns. DOL (1.25% weight).
Will it be reasonable to eliminate ECI and DOL (small positions) and/or reduce BCE/ENB ( BCE more due to muted growth prospects and ENB due to its high debt and pipeline sector concerns).

Thank you for your valued advice.

Q: How about a switch from PKI to ENB ?
Is there more growth with enbridge ?
A brief comparison ?

Thanks for the great service !

Q: from your income portfolio, what are your top three picks to buy this week?

Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages in buying ZWU versus ENB for long term hold with both income and capital appreciation in mind

Q: ENB has a history of shuffling assets between entities / corporate restructuring and it makes an investor wonder if there are bigger problems behind it all given the frequency. If this issue was ever examined in more detail, it would be interesting what details would emerge. I would have thought that 5i would be curious as well. Comments?
Thank you,
Randy

Q: I'm looking for some good dividend stocks. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Q: Possible to sell ENB for a tax loss and buy Enf with the transactions on the same day or would the 30 day wait period be required?

Q: I am currently considering selling Transcanada for a small tax loss-$2000- and immediatly buying Enbridge. This would give me a rather large allocation to Enbridge, which I currently own, as well.

Just wondering whether it was worth the trouble. And possibly the risk of having a large allotment to one stock. Do you think Enbridge has a big chance of rising much more than TRP? or, are they likely to rise at the same pace? (that is, of course, if they rise).

I guess I am asking you to put your magical, look into the future glasses on here, but I am sure you would have a better idea than me on this.
thanks once again

Q: What do you think about this giant ENB transaction?

Q: HI PETER, I have all these 4 and all are down from buy price ( in varying %), Do you recommend adding new money to this sector. If so, which would be preferred? Would you suggest keeping all 4 or can be consolidated to 3 . Please rank best first. \thanks

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: Please comment on Enbridge's recent asset sale. I am thinking about adding them to my portfolio and think that this can be a strong outperformer once the market starts to have a little more buy-in again. I am looking at both ENB and CGX and want to add one for a combination of both growth and income. I just feel both have been beaten down so much and are presenting great value right now. Would you prefer one of the other? Or do you think they are going to be in the dog house for a while longer? Thanks.

Q: Retired and looking to move 125,000$ to unregistered invest. from fixed income to benefit from dividend tax credit. Can you please suggest 5 or 6 stocks with combination of groath and dividend?
Thanks

Q: With the current difficulties with pipeline development and the negative view of oil sands, how do you view the risk profile of the pipeline business in general and would you rate the risk differently for these three companies?

Q: I hold ENF for income. I was thinking of switching to ENB for a better growth component now the yield gap has closed, but I read that funding of capex could become a problem for ENB. You recently said ENB was safer than ENF. I am wondering why since ENF has essentially no debt and no capex beyond funding the ENB dropdowns.

Q: Hi Guys,

I own an Enbridge preferred share (ENB.PR.Y) which currently has a dividend rate of 5.285%. I am considering selling this preferred and buying the Enbridge common which has a current dividend rate of 7.055%. My motive for doing this is additional income and possibly higher capital gains in the future. I have no other investments in Enbridge and my stock allocation in pipelines can handle the change. I plan on purchasing a different company’s preferred share to make up for the loss of the Enbridge pref.

My questions are as follows:
1-From a safety of capital point of view, how much more risk do you think I will take on?
2-From a safety of income point of view, how much more risk do you think I will take on?
3-Do you see a downside to this move?

Thanks for the help.
John
