RE:RE:RE:RE:Enbridge just released long-term strategic planIll offer you a bit of advice. If you are going to "invest" YOUR money, learn to read a financial statement, learn what the numbers mean and what are good numbers and what are bad numbers, take what you read on these boards with two grains of salt and realise that most people that post here have their own agenda and/or are full of excrement (including me :)).
Take the strategic plan, go through it bullit by bullit and understand what each means and prioritize them by importance. Some are more relevant thanothers. This will be a good exercise.
When dealing with the market, approach it with paranoia, a lot of skepticism and a touch of cynicism. Remember, it's YOUR money and we all want to take it away from you so that we can pad our own bank accounts. Some are better than others at taking money away from the rest, and they are institutionalized.
When a company issues more shares, it dilutes the value of shares. Issuing shares raises capital, and it it can mean many things - the company is "not living within its means"; they want to fund an acquisition; they want to pay down debt, etc. There are many reasons to raise capital, but share dilution is not a good thing for the existing shareholders in general.
