Q: Hi 5i: I've been searching for info on existing North American LNG plants. Three questions (please charge as you see fit): (1) do you know if the US currently have any working export LNG plants? (2) if there are working export plants, which (if any) Canadian companies will be piping gas to them? (3) are there any Canadian companies planning to pipe gas to any US LNG plants that are under development? Many thanks.

Q: According to media reports Venezuela is on the verge of bankruptcy and the more the oil price falls the greater the odds. From the Scotia Global site:
"Scotiabank is proud to have a strong presence in Venezuela through ... Banco del Caribe"
How strong is their presence there and will default have long term effects on BNS shares? I note it is a 3.6% position in the BE portfolio which presumably went in at 5%. Thanks, J.

Q: A follow up from the previous question. I notice that SPFF has fallen dramatically over the last year - markedly more than apparently similar CEF's such as FFC-N and PDT-N. I suppose this may reflect a riskier portfolio, but the current yields are essentially the same. Any thoughts? Thanks
Q: What are your thoughts on this preferred share offering from Brookfield? It resets in June of 2016 and has a yield of 5.2%. What is the downside risk here?
Q: Peter,
I am being pitched an Insured Retirement Plan by a potential Financial Advisor. This particular case involves a plan from Canada Life that has apparently been around for 165 years or something. I believe the product is the "Retirement Income Enhancer" and the basic idea is that you have to contribute for 20 years and then after that you can draw income or leave the money in longer and then draw on the plan and/or use bank loans to fund your retirement using the plan value to support the loan. It also has death benefits/life insurance as well.
I am curious if you have any thoughts or experience with plans like this. It seems like a lot of money to contribute to get not that much income and your plan is underwater for 20 years before your plan value matches what you've put it. I am concerned about putting a ton of money into savings that can't be touched if bad things happen. I also feel like contributing the amount required to make a plan like this worth it would stop or hinder my ability to prepay my mortgage early. Mortgage is the only debt I have and I like the idea of retiring that debt early to make me "invincible" financially (to the extent that being all cash, no debt acheives that).
Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Q: Big news this morning, about splitting the company into parts. Comments? ( And if many people have asked this, please ignore this and charge me a question anyway!)
Q: Hi guys,
I have an index portfolio set up for my son - 1/3 Canada TDB900, 1/3 US TDB902 (S&P 500 unhedged) and 1/3 International TDB911. Given the rise of the US currency vs. the CDN $, would it be prudent to flip all of TDB902 to TDB904? Would you do a 50/50 split between TDB902 and TDB904? I guess I could ask the same concerning TDB911 and TDB905.
Thanks!
Aaron

Q: I currently own Fortis, Emara and Canadian Utiliites. I am considering ZUT but am looking for a dividend grower. I see their 5 year dividend growth rate is negative ( G & M watchlist ). when I look at the dividend growth of some of the stocks in the ETF this does not make sense. Many have positive dividend growth over this period.
Is there any reason I would not expect the dividend growth to be weighted average of the underlying holdings less the MER of .62%?
Can you think of any other reason not to buy ZUT for utility exposure ( as opposed to the individual stocks )
Many thanks as always.
