PAST TOP PICK34.780Bill Harris, CFA(Top Pick Apr 6/09, Up 20.54%) If it goes up another 20-25%, you would have to look to see if the yield was still what you wanted.2010-03-03
BUY34.780David CockfieldJust increased their dividend by a small amount. A core utility. A great potential for Canada to ship gas offshore.2010-02-26
WAIT34.930Michael Simpson, CFAThey missed expectations today. They issued a lot of shares. They raised their dividend today. Some worry that there is two much pipeline capacity in western Canada.2010-02-23
BUY34.000Derek Webb, CFAHas come down to its support line. Shouldn't have had the correction it did since it is not as cyclical as most businesses.2010-02-11

PAST TOP PICK34.440Andrew McCreath(A Top Pick Aug 18/09. Up 9.33 excluding dividends.) Company had pre-funded a tremendous amount of capital spending that will deliver solid low double-digit earnings growth in the back half of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. 4.4% yield. Still a Buy.2010-02-05
DON'T BUY34.520Brian Acker, CAHe has a model price of $31.91, about 7% to high. A yield story, not of valuation story.2010-02-03

TOP PICK34.960John Stephenson(A Top Pick Jan 2/09. Up 8.29%.) This is a time to being a little more defensive. Basically hasn't moved in over a year.

BUY35.930Rick StuchberryWell managed company. Have no liability on the gas price, which is important.2009-12-30
BUY35.410Norman LevineWould buy this one over some of the pipeline income trusts is the valuation is much more reasonable and the dividend is better covered. Also better growth prospects.2009-12-23
TOP PICK36.170Philip DoyleNorth American leader in pipelines and are diversifying to add energy projects in Ontario including nuclear, wind and natural gas generation. Reasonable valuation. Fair amount of debt but they can manage this. Good yield.2009-12-18
BUY35.980David BaskinStock is going up because of a rotation away from the cyclicals towards a more stable utility kind of names. Still has room to go and expects a dividend increase in 2010.2009-12-15
TOP PICK35.680Peter BriegerOver next 3-4 years they will be completing pipelines. Power business will expand fairly rapidly. Is going to sharply increase it’s free cash flow. Hopefully will increase the dividend at some point. Will build a power plant in the Oakville area.2009-12-14
PAST TOP PICK34.970John Stephenson(A Top Pick Dec 3/08. Up 10.58%.) Still a Buy.2009-12-11
BUY34.530Nick MajendieExcellent outlook. About 85% of CapX program is regulated or long-term contracts so has a lot of confidence in earnings. Looking for growth of about 7%-9% a year over the next 5 years and with dividend growth at least 7% gives 11%-13% growth at least.2009-12-09
PAST TOP PICK34.680Norman Levine(Top Pick Dec 15/08, Up 13%) They increase the dividend regularly. More and more into the electrical generation process. They are not into unrelated businesses. Stock held back by massive stock issues but they are done.2009-12-08
BUY34.500Bruce CampbellPre-raise money and acquired Keystone. Stock has finally gone through the issue price. Not looking for an increase in dividends until late 2011 and 2012. 4.4% dividend.2009-12-07
BUY33.700Christine PoolePipeline and power Company. Low natural gas prices don't have a huge impact because they get a regulated rate of return. Defensive name. Yield of over 4.5%. Good pipeline of projects coming on over the next few years.2009-11-26
PAST TOP PICK33.530Gavin Graham(A Top Pick Jan 14/09. Up 3.32%.) Looking for a percent-10% growth because of the Keystone Pipelines. Still buy.2009-11-23
BUY33.530Brooke ThackraySolid well managed company. Evenly split between the power and pipes. 4.6% yield. Will be hiking their toll rates on the pipelines. Chart shows an ascending triangle, which is positive.2009-11-23
BUY33.000Douglas KeePipelines. Thinks they will be increasing their dividends between 5% and 10% through the years.2009-11-19
PAST TOP PICK33.000David Baskin(A Top Pick Dec 2/08. Up 5.9%.) Picked as a low volatility with some value for a defensive play. Still likes its prospects. Huge book of projects.2009-11-19
Comment32.550Mark CarpaniBond or stock? Two different risks. Bond is going to be higher up in the capital structure and the stock will have a little more risk. If you are conservative, stick with the bond. If you want more growth and a 4.7% yield, go with the stock.2009-11-17
TOP PICK32.200Norman LevineGood yield of 4.7%. This type of stock has been left behind in this market and when things start to correct, they'll start to do well. Good growth profile. Good for conservative yield seeking investors.2009-11-16
BUY32.580Rick StuchberryEnbridge (ENB-T) and TransCanada (TRP-T) are both good. He owns TransCanada because of a slightly higher dividend.2009-11-12
BUY32.280Barry SchwarrtzIf you want a security that has a safe dividend and that will raise it over time, this is a good name. Hasn't participated in this rally even though earnings have been strong. Poor natural gas prices have impacted the price they get for power but they have an unbelievable amount of growth projects.2009-11-10
TOP PICK32.280Bill Harris, CFA5% yield AND internally invest in their company for 5% growth, and consistently do that for years, compounding. That is a fantastic rate of return. Professionally run. Have maturity of debt to avoid impact from interest rate spikes.2009-11-10
PAST TOP PICK32.240John Stephenson(A Top Pick Oct 22/08. Down 2.5%.) Solid dividend play. Last 6-7 months investors have been piling into risks and you can make a very good argument that you might see a return to yield. Increasingly becoming a power weighted business. Cheap. 4.7% yield.2009-11-09
Comment32.050Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng.Provides a fairly high dividend. Big danger is in the rough gas markets where volumes will go down, which will spread the tariffs. 4.7% yield. Prefers Enbridge (ENB-T) a little better for the short-term but this one for the longer-term.2009-11-06
DON'T BUY32.790Stan WongA little bit boring in this environment. Utilities will not do very well in a recovering economy and rising stock market.2009-11-04
WEAK BUY33.070Ross HealyHas come down to quite a low valuation level and is oozing its way back up again. 50-day moving average is above the 200-day moving average, which is a very bullish sign. He sees support at $32. 4.6% yield.2009-10-26
PAST TOP PICK33.260Karl Berger(A Top Pick March 3/09. Up 18.04%.)2009-10-14
HOLD33.050Robert Lauzon(Market Call Minute.) There are better opportunities in the market besides this one.2009-10-05
Comment32.960Peter Brieger4.6% yield. Likes this one.2009-10-01
PAST TOP PICK33.370Charles Lannon(A Top Pick Feb 17/09. Up 5.51%.)2009-09-30
BUY33.200Prakash HariharanSafe, solid name. Likes the management. You are not looking at a growth story here, but a rock solid name. It could trade flat for a year. Prefers the sub-debt.2009-09-29
PAST TOP PICK33.200Andrew McCreath(A Top Pick Aug 18/09. Up 7.68%.)2009-09-28
BUY33.200John Stephenson(Market Call Minute.) Great infrastructure name.2009-09-28
BUY33.660David BaskinLoves this one for the long haul. Also loves the 4.52% dividend and its increases. Has about the best credit in Canada.2009-09-23
HOLD33.170Ron MeiselsStock is starting to behave better. Price has gone above the 200-day moving average. There have been 2 congestive areas of support and has now had a breakout. Stoploss should be around (below the round number) the $32 area.2009-09-18
BUY32.270Steve CarlinPutting some of his income oriented accounts into this.2009-09-16
BUY32.460Bruce Campbell(Market Call Minute) Still under issue price and lagged comparables2009-09-15
PAST TOP PICK31.930Norman Levine(A Top Pick Sept 5/08. Down 12.32%.) Still a Buy.2009-09-11
DON'T BUY32.400Jaime CarrascoLikes the pipelines. They are a simple business. Get paid for sending things through a pipeline. Prefers Pembina (PIF.UN-T) or Enbridge (ENB-T). 4.7% yield.2009-09-04
TOP PICK32.310Rick StuchberryVery defensive stock. 4% yield. Transports 20% of North America's natural gas. Not exposed to commodity prices. Owns 15% of Bruce generating station in Ontario. You can set on this stock and wait for the markets to get better.2009-08-27
BUY32.680Christine PoolePipeline network spans across North America and also has some power plant interests. Recently did a big equity issue to fund their growth projects for the next 2 or 3 years. Near term dilutive until these projects come into stream and start to contribute to earnings. 4.7% yield.2009-08-26
PAST TOP PICK32.500Karl Berger(A Top Pick March 3/09. Up 10.73%.)2009-08-25
BUY31.990Joseph SchachterBringing on an oil pipeline system into the US, which will bring a lot of upside growth. Once natural gas prices recover in the next couple of years, they will be involved in any expansion in Western Canada.2009-08-21
TOP PICK31.500Andrew McCreathContrarion call. Spent a lot of money lately on projects that won’t contribute to income in the next couple of years. Recently shorted Enbridge against his TRP.2009-08-18
TOP PICK31.260Glenn MacNeill, P.Eng.Good growth prospects in front of it through the Keystone project, which will generate good cash flow through the next couple of years. Has the Horn River project that will generate good cash flow. Over the next 2 years it will provide better returns. Good distribution of about 5%.2009-08-11
TOP PICK31.430Bruce CampbellDid a big equity issue of $1.7 billion to pay for the pipeline from Conoco Phillips (COP-N), which does not pay them any earnings until 2011 so earnings are diluted. Without this stock would be $37. Gives you a chance to buy at $31. 4.8% yield. Safe place to hide.2009-08-10
TOP PICK30.640Bill Harris, CFAHas always been expensive and this is an opportunity to buy with this selloff. 5% yield and trading at roughly 15X earnings. He is hoping to have a 10% ROI annually.2009-07-31
DON'T BUY30.500Michael SprungNice yield of almost 5%. Have been expanding aggressively through acquisitions. Have diluting shareholders through a lot of new issues. Prefers International Pipeline (IPL.UN-T), which has a better yield. On multiples they are about the same.2009-07-28
TOP PICK30.620David BaskinRecent big share offering and stock has not recovered. 5% dividend. Completely recession resistant. Also somewhat inflation protected, as energy boards will give rate increases. Growth prospects both south and north.2009-07-27
BUY30.950Peter BriegerHas one of the lowest price to cash flow ratios of the four main pipeline companies. However, half of their business is power. There is great opportunity because of the US Keystone acquisition but also when the Alaskan pipeline gets built.2009-07-23
BUY30.600Greg A. Taylor, CFA, BBALikes the good stable growth and dividend yield. Acts as a counterweight in the portfolio to cyclical investments. Recently made an acquisition that will supply some growth for them. Also did an equity issue which could put a cap on the stock for the near term.2009-07-22
HOLD30.600Norman LevineExcellent management. Good growth prospects. Good balance sheet. Nice yield.2009-07-22
BUY30.710Bruce CampbellDividend yield of about 4%. Below $31 is a good entry point. (Prefers Enbridge (ENB-T) for the better growth profile. He has 3X the weighting in it.)2009-07-15
PAST TOP PICK30.700Karl Berger(A Top Pick March 3/09. Up 6.54%.) Had a couple of challenges over the last few months. But the 20% of the Keystone Pipeline that they didn't own, which implies considerable cash drains going forward and will be dilutive over the short term. Thinks dividend will increase significantly after they stop spending on capital expansion programs. 5% yield. Hold.2009-07-14
WEAK BUY30.640John ZechnerEarnings growth is relatively slow in single digits. Multiple is in the mid-teens. You won't have a lot of growth but between the yield and stock appreciation you might get 10% over a year. You can get a lot better return in others that have more risk.2009-07-13
HOLD30.700Rick StuchberryThinks this will trade in a range. Has a reasonable yield and there is such an appetite for yield that there is a pretty good likelihood the stock will find a bottom when the market stabilizes a bit.. Will probably go back up again. 5% yield.2009-07-10
Comment30.510Jean-Francois TardifGlobally most stocks are up but this one is down substantially. Thinks the market is turning here and there will be setbacks. This stock, because it is down, is a lot less risk. Nice dividend and will probably have a little bit of growth over time.2009-07-07
PAST TOP PICK30.510Gavin Graham(A Top Pick July 7/08. Down 13.76%.)2009-07-07
BUY31.160Bill CarriganTime is probably right for stocks like this. At this point in the market cycle, he would like anything that has to do with existing infrastructure.2009-07-02
TOP PICK31.300Bruce CampbellDid a $1.6 billion equity issue last week to buy the Keystone pipeline from ConocoPhillips (COP-N). You have $.10 intuition in 2010 but you have accretion after that. Currently it is $.50 less than the issue making it pretty attractive. 4% dividend.2009-06-25
BUY30.870John StephensonQuasi-infrastructure play. Bringing Alaskan gas down. Will be around for a long time. Very strong track record of dividends. Excellent growth. One of the largest producers of power with its stake in both Bruce and it's US assets. Expects power prices will be a little weaker over the next 6 months. Almost 5% dividend.2009-06-24
SELL30.490Jeff ParentThis chart is not good. Stock could go down to $28.80 and that would be a support level. If you own, keep until the dividend is paid and then sell.2009-06-23
PAST TOP PICK30.490Laura Wallace(A Top Pick June 18/08. Down 24%.)2009-06-23
Comment31.490Steve CarlinEnbridge (ENB-T) or TransCanada Pipeline (TRP-T)? His choice would be Enbridge, which has a little more earnings growth. Valuations between the 2 are about the same. 4.8% yield.2009-06-19
TOP PICK31.380David BaskinJust did a $1.6 billion stock issue that has put the stock under pressure. Will be shipping in their Keystone pipeline 1 billion barrels of oil sands oil a day into the US Midwest forever. Gives you a stable and rising dividend.2009-06-18
BUY33.060Peter BriegerWith the overall market moving as much as it has, and the focus on the high beta stocks, this is a potential add to his portfolio. Over 4% yield.2009-06-16
BUY33.350Ken McCord(Market Call Minute.) That whole sector is looking really good.2009-06-09
BUY32.000Laura WallaceHave been adding to this one in the $30 range. Very attractive 5% yield and very solid earnings outlook. Earnings growth probably in the 7% range. Dividend increases probably likely. Very stable.2009-05-26
PAST TOP PICK31.900Karl Berger(A Top Pick March 3/09. Up 8.7%.)2009-05-20
TOP PICK31.280Bill Harris, CFAGreat, stable, consistent business with a locked in rate of return of 5% and feels the company can grow 4%-5% giving him 10% compounded. He has a 10-year time horizon.2009-05-19
TOP PICK31.280David BaskinTraditionally over the last 50 years, utility companies have yielded about 70% of the interest rate on the 10-year Canada bonds. At 6%, you expect utility company to pay about 4%. Right now Canada bonds are paying about 3% and this one is yielding about 5%. Perfect time to lock in the high yields.2009-05-19
HOLD30.480Greg A. Taylor, CFA, BBAPipelines was an area where people where hiding. With market improvement people will be taking money out to put in E & P companies. An extremely well run company with some good areas. Have some start-up issues with last year’s New York City’s Ravenswood acquisition. Expect this will come together and the stock will start performing better towards the end of the year. 5% yield.2009-05-07
BUY30.480Jim HuangLikes this for a safe dividend play with some growth upside. If the McKenzie Valley pipeline ever comes to pass, they have huge upside to it.2009-05-07
BUY30.990Norman LevineGrowth utility. Defensive. Likes it for its long-term growth. 4.9% dividend.2009-05-06
BUY30.610Randy LeClairUtility bonds would be safer in an economic storm. These could include Enbridge (ENB-T), Trans Canada (TRP-T) and Fortis (FTS-T) Fortis is probably the weaker of the 3 with a slightly lower credit rating. Very solid names.2009-05-05
HOLD30.050Michael Smedley(Market Call Minute) No tremendous expectations. Nice dividend of 5%.2009-04-28
BUY29.580Michael SprungGood for dividend income and some prospects for capital appreciation over the next couple of years.2009-04-22
BUY30.150Andrew Guy, CFA(Market Call Minute) Beneficiary of Mackenzie pipeline if it ever gets built (Believes it will). Beneficiary of economic recovery and good dividend.2009-04-17
WAIT30.150Gerald Allaye-ChanGood outlook; embarking on an ambitious capital program to expand pipelines. There will be an earnings drag due to financing needs short term. You are paid to wait (5% dividend) for the long term.2009-04-17
BUY29.700Marc-Andre RobitaillePrefers to Embridge. Nicest growth profile and more clear. Likes yield and thinks it is safe. 2009-04-15
BUY29.740Bruce Campbell(Market Call Minute.) Very cheap under $30. (See Top Picks.)2009-04-13
BUY30.000David CockfieldUtility and will do fine. 5.1% yield.2009-04-09
BUY30.130Laura WallaceSolid projects out through 2013 to 2015. Great earnings growth. Solid dividend and have increased them through the years at a good pace. Growth in the 5% to 8% range plus a 4% dividend with the likelihood it will increase..2009-04-07
TOP PICK30.180Bill Harris, CFAHe is trying to make sure that he owns those utilities, tollbooth type businesses. If it goes down to $25, he will buy more of this. Yielding over 5%.2009-04-06
DON'T BUY30.180Peter GibsonROE level is all right but the rate of profit decline is at a level that implies further weakness. It is negative enough to imply negative earnings surprises are still likely. Attractive yield of around 5%.2009-04-03
