TSE:PPL
(A Top Pick July 12/12. Up 33.94%.) Took a big hit at the end of May when the “tapering” talk started and people got worried that bond yields were going to ratchet way up and stocks purchased for income were going to be out of favour. It sold off for about 6 weeks in a row and is only starting to come back now. Very solid company and the yield is rock solid. In his view, even with the five-year bond where it is, this is still very attractive.
Going to be tough sledding for resources but one of the areas that has been a home run, has been the energy infrastructure space and part of it is that they bought Provident and have some of their assets in their base which allows them to do the fractionation and take liquids out of the pipeline stream and sell them for higher value. $3 billion in projects on the go. Good yield of around 5% so you are getting paid to wait. This company has a lot of growth and continues to pull more and more growth even though the valuation is high.
