RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:oilCorrect. The negativity around the oil sector and the constant association of oil / non-green energy with the dark side is mind blowing. ENB is put in the same basket as oil producers, so they get the cold press shoulder most of the time. Not the same treatment as L3 protestors & wild rice protectors, guess everybody likes the underdog. Recall when Birkie dropped Enbridge Enrgy sponsorship?

The Envvironmentalists will never be positive on oil. That is why Enbridge should take every opportunity to market itself as an Energy Delivery company and not an Oil & Gas company. Energy Delivery is Enbridge's future.
Go Enbridge! ;-)

If that's a major concern for anyone, then I think they should SELL.

You may say that the stability of OIL producers may indirectly affect ENB stock, but there is no direct connection between the oil price and ENB revenue model.

market sentiment. do you think the share price of enb will hold up if oil goes below $50?
most people on this board whine about enb being undervalued and that's because the whole sector is out of favor.
i've held this since it was interprovincial pipelines so market noise means nothing to me other than sideshow entertainment.
