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.
New CEO who has done a great job of reshaping the business. Has been very creative with the deals he has done. This company is a high dividend business model, but also has significant growth. Generally it is a difficult juggling act to balance, but the CEO has done a great job of strategically generating cash flow that allows him to pay out the dividend and still fund organic growth. The Ruby pipeline deal is very cash flow accretive. The Encana (ECA-T) joint venture is also cash flow accretive and allows them to fund the dividend while they go out and build Jordan Cove. He expects these to drive the value north of $20-$21 over the next 2-3 years. Yield of 6.01%.
