Pembina Pipeline (PPL-T) acquired the company. Keep the stock or Sell and take profits? Pembina is not just a pure pipeline, but does have some oil interests as well. Chart shows a little bit of overhead that we have seen since 2015. There are a number of people that remember what they paid and will want their money back. We are getting close to that level. The chart is taking a slightly rounded look to it. Between the fact that it definitely has some technical resistance in the low $40 he would be tempted to take the cash. On the other hand, if you are interested in the dividend, it is a perfectly fine income stock. He wouldn't buy any new stock.
This was a Top Pick March 24/17. It has had a pretty big move in the last month or so, and is currently at a level where he doesn’t see much upside as there was. They are looking to increase the Alliance pipeline by 30%, which could be very accretive. Pays a good distribution that is getting safer. Try to add to this on a bit of a pullback.
Sold her holdings about a year ago, on concerns about the Alliance pipeline and the recontracting risks. In 2015 all contracts roll off so Alliance and this company have been quite aggressive in trying to get new volumes in place to fill the pipeline. With the amount of liquids coming out of Canada, they are likely to fill it, but her questions are around the economics. Feels that some of the deals they are making in Western Canada would be trading off the economics that they would achieve in Aux Sable and facination unit in order to secure volumes. Not quite sure how this plays out on a cash flow perspective, which gives her concerns about the stability of the dividend. LNG play in Oregon is interesting but is 3rd or 4th in line for approval in the US and there is some question about how much export capacity is going to be improved and feels they are right on the cusp.
