Enbridge (ENB.TO)

It's had challenges with the main line and a line 5 reversal. It's a core holding and likes the dividend, which is safe. Likes management. Will hold it long term.

His clients looking for income own shares in PPL and KEY. Doesn't love buying a company just for the yield. He wants to dig deep and figure out the fundamentals, growth prospects, balance sheet status, and payout ratio. Those are things you need to be very careful of when you're buying companies just for income.

If rates continue to fall, ENB is undervalued. And, yes, it could go up to $60-70. But he wants to own companies where he can get double-digit earnings growth over a 5-year period, and a chance to doube his money. He doesn't see that with ENB.

But if you're OK getting a nice yield without the volatility of a growth name, then this is a perfect fit for your portfolio.

Doesn't qualify as part of her sustainability universe, due to exposure to natural gas. Will benefit from increased energy needs generally in North America. Yield is 7.5%, which will be even more attractive when/if the BOC cuts rates.

Buy for the dividend only. There is little downside and little upside but sell if it goes below $46.
The caller also asked about the S&P 500. He is not worried about a correction but be careful- it is over-extended.

Struggled lately, surprising for an interest-sensitive stock given the interest rate cut in Canada. Range-bound long term between $42.50-52.50. Trend support is probably around $46. Keep an eye to see if we get a higher low.

Likes it for income, paying above 7% dividends. Very defensive, a fine business model. With their strong cash flow, they bought some good nat gas companies.

Decent growth profile, 7.5% dividend, and the Canadian dividend tax credit. Valuation has been fair. Trading at mid-teen PEs, contrasted to TRP with a 12.5x valuation.

Yes, it is. She owns it for attractive yield of about 7.5%. Backlog of projects supports the dividend, company feels it can grow by 3-5% annually for the foreseeable future. Diversifying end market by purchasing nat gas utilities. Rising interest rates and equity issue have held stock back. Trans Mountain has not affected takeaway capacity.

Volatility in the underlying commodity shouldn't affect pipelines that much, but it does impact sentiment.

Am under-performer, but they continued to build the business. They bought 3 US gas distributors and increased shipping on the Gulf coast. The street has ignored this though. Trades at a 16x PE and pays a 7.3% dividend, lower than peers. 

Dividend ~7% is strong and very good for long term investors. Demand for power continues to rise. Capital expansion will be good for cash flow for years. Dividend continues to grow. Recent M & A a little concerning, but overall the business is headed in a positive direction. Assets very hard to replicate. 

He's a Base Breakout Buyer. Usually that's very bullish. He bought this on the breakout. First resistance is around $55, and then around $60. Nice dividend, probably some upside. Doesn't see big downside. 

See his blog at valuetrend.ca for the argument on why fossil fuels are going to go up.

Sector has been tough the last few years. Would rather invest in Pembina Pipeline. High capital costs with large amounts of debt. Well managed company, but not investing at this time. Better options out there for investors. 

The longer the bond term, the longer the duration, and the more exposure to interest rates moving up and down. A longer-term bond will likely outperform in a falling rate environment. Not averse to this plan, but better opportunities even at 3.5-4% mid-term bonds. 

You can also get 6-7% on some equities, but it does depend on your time horizon and when you might need the money. If your timeline is 3+ years, a company like ENB or POW would be a better place.

Dividend very safe. Likes management. Price of nat gas doesn't really matter, it's more about aggregate demand. Renewables too. Population growth story for Canada and US. Nat gas is reasonably clean burning, so demand will continue.

These stocks should catch a bid if market thinks interest rate volatility will come down.

It provides 20% of the US' natural gas and has a huge market share here. Pays a 7.4% dividend. Collect that as you wait for rates to decline. His biggest holding.
