PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 07/19, Up 12%) They've been executing well, though hurricanes effected their last quarter. Looking ahead there will be double-digit returns. He will add if this falls to the low-50s.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 16/19, Up 27%) They reduced their position, but they did very well. There’s a rotation out of defensive stocks to cyclical stocks.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
A great company but very interest rate sensitive. The dividend is safe. There is lots of free cash flow. There is only risk in volatility. He would not add new money. Just buy it on the dips.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 07/19, Up 8%) Pulled back, still a good stock. Still likes the utility space, especially Emera.
TOP PICK
Given current outlook, holding a utility is a pretty good thing to do. Canadian utilities have a big valulation discount to the US ones. Impacted by hurricanes and higher short-term interest rates. Steady eddy. Yield is 4.56%. (Analysts’ price target is $56.79)
HOLD
With interest rates being low, the utility space has been a magnet for money. The valuations are not cheap, but the dividend yield still looks attractive to savings rates. They reported earnings as being a little lower due to hurricane Dorian. He continues to hold it. It is not a bargain here though.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
He read a report on the technicals -- the sector needs about an 8% pull back. He would buy on a pullback as things are just a little overheated right now. A correction would be healthy.
TOP PICK
Definitely add on pullbacks. Sinking interest rates long-term will be a tailwind. Generates stable cash flow and ROE. Emera is involved in Florida which enjoys strong population growth. (Analysts’ price target is $57.14)
BUY
It is his recommendation for a utility in a low rate environment. They operate in Nova Scotia, Florida, and some in New Mexico. It has been hitting new highs almost every day. They are benefiting from the search for yield by investors. It is not a bargain stock any longer. You have to be prepared to hold it for a while.
BUY ON WEAKNESS
It is a good time to hold. It is a good defensive stock with a good yield. However, the share price has already performed to its ability. He would prefer to buy on a dip. A little expensive to enter here.
HOLD
The dividend is safe and he owns it.
PARTIAL SELL

Utilities have hugely benefitted from lower interest rates including EMA. But he sees better value in Canadian oil infrastructure like Keyera. It's tough to chase EMA at these levels. In fact, take some profits in you hold this.

TOP PICK
It's been his top pick before. EMA just got added to a global MSCI index. They executed on their business plan, divesting assets to avoid diluting shareholders. He expects 4-5% earnings nd dividend growth to come. Yes, boring, but boring is good in this environment. Trades at 18x earnings. (Analysts’ price target is $56.07)
TOP PICK
A growth utility in Nova Scotia. It made an acquisition into Florida and in New Mexico. A good dividend grower. A safe haven. Yield 4.19% (Analysts’ price target is $55.86)
HOLD
He owns this. The payout ratio is about 30%, so the dividend appears safe. The company is expected to grow by 2%. Cash flow is negative at the moment. With the dividend, he would hold. Yield 4.37%
