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.
Continues to like the way it is positioned in the midstream sector in Canada. This has optionality with respect to a big LNG facility, Jordan Cove, that is going to get built in the US. If they get a commitment from a producer to take a significant amount of that capacity and develop it further, the stock could easily hit $17-$18. This is likely going to happen within the next quarter or two. A very short term oriented trade. The biggest risks are frac spreads. When you look at the prices they get for some of the liquids that they are breaking up in the US, those spreads have compressed very significantly, hardly because oil prices have gone down, and he thinks it will have a bit of a negative impact on their cash flow. Unless they get an agreement for the LNG facility, it could slide a little bit lower. Thinks the risk/reward is good enough that you want to hang onto this and clip a nice dividend.
