They are dependent on some chemical plants and resins in the Midwest US. In addition, they do like a weaker Cdn$ versus a stronger one. He is continuing to buy this and is very comfortable with it.

Although he owns this, he would be somewhat interested in sniffing around at Enbridge (ENB-T) as well. There is always a scare of a dividend cut on Enbridge. Both names are pretty solid in his opinion. Dividend yield of 6%.

This is back to where it was about 2 years ago. The company has quite a bit of exposure to Europe, which is very encouraging. That is where a lot of gains are coming from.
