Pembina Pipeline Corp (PPL) has received a mix of bullish and cautious reviews from analysts.

Accept an offer to convert debentures for shares? He would be onside with this. This is one of the best management teams in the pipeline business.

A mid-stream company and services the energy industry with existing capacity. Generally not as exposed to the energy cycle as oil companies are, but more exposed than Enbridge (ENB-T) and TransCanada (TRP-T).

Has just been caught in the downdraft of the oil stocks. It is like a semi-utility and the actual need for their services is going to stretch years down the road.
