RE:RE:Enough Is EnoughSarge- I agree completely. I have a large holding in PPL. If they move to buy TMX I will own zero shares the next day, just like I did when AQN announced Kentucky Belch, Rogers announced Shaw, TD announced First Horizon, Rogers Sugar announced the Maple purchase, Parkland kept buying up non-accretive assets and adding debt like a drunken sailor- or like Trudeau and his court of idiots, and Alta Gas announced. The only major recent acquisitions I like is RBC and HSBC. I bought more RBC. Any business has trouble integrating large acquisions, it usally takes a couplek of years. Good time to be in something else till it settles out.

PPL has been my favourire midstreamer for yonks but I'm a tad worried they might be stupid enough to buy TMX. If they do, I will immediately sell half of our full position.
I'm a slow learner but have finally caught on to this purchasing something that is a big, bad asset. It took 3 previous disasters with ALA buying WGL, IPL doing Heartland on their own, and AQN trying to buy KPC.
As my Dad used to say on learning a lesson: "Better late than never". :-)

But it has certainly provided an opportunity to add some more shares at bargain prices while we've continued to collect a nice dividend.
