In the cannabis world, there are the “Big 4” pot stocks, which together control the majority of the Canadian cannabis market. Three of the Big 4 marijuana stocks have had a breakout moment over the past several months. Aurora (NYSE:ACB) hasn’t. Now, one Wall Street firm thinks ACB stock is about to have its moment … and in a big way.

Best Canadian Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Transcananda Pipelines Ltd.(TRP)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Matthew DiLallo]

  TransCanada (NYSE:TRP) has almost everything an investor could want in a stock. With a dividend yield of around 4.8%, the Canadian pipeline giant supplies investors with a lucrative income stream. Meanwhile, with 21 billion Canadian dollars ($16 billion) of expansion projects underway, the company has the fuel to grow earnings at a 10% compound annual rate through 2020, which should enable it to increase its dividend 8% to 10% per year through 2021. Finally, after selling off 11% this year, shares trade at an attractive value. Add everything up, and TransCanada has the potential to generate market-beating total returns in the coming years, which makes it an excellent stock to consider buying.

  The approval of LNG Canada would trigger additional investments further upstream. One of the largest would be by TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP), which would build the Coastal GasLink pipeline to supply natural gas to LNG Canada. The 415-mile pipeline would cost CA$4.8 billion ($3.7 billion). It's a needle-moving project for TransCanada and would give the company more fuel to extend its dividend growth outlook. The company expects to boost its payout at an 8% to 10% annual pace through 2021. TransCanada, as well as other midstream companies, will likely need to build additional infrastructure in Western Canada to support production growth.

  When you invest in a company, you are effectively buying a small claim on its long-term cash flows. The hope, of course, is that those cash flows will grow over time and you'll be rewarded with either a growing dividend or a higher stock price -- or both. So when looking at companies like Kinder Morgan Canada Limited (NASDAQOTH:KMLGF) (TSX:KML)and TransCanada Corporation (NYSE:TRP), you need to think both about what these companies look like today and what they will look like in the future. When you do that with this match up, one is a clear winner.

  Meanwhile, TransCanada (NYSE:TRP) has been working to revive its Keystone XL pipeline. After years of delay, TransCanada could start full construction next year, which would put the line into service by 2021. However, the hotly contested pipeline could face new delays or even another rejection.

  In addition to the Trans Mountain system, two other pipeline projects currently are proposed to move crude oil from Alberta either to the Great Lakes or the Gulf Coast. Enbridge Inc. (NYSE: ENB) is proposing to replace its 50-year old Line 3 system to transport 760,000 barrels a day to Superior, Wisconsin. TransCanada Corp. (NYSE: TRP) has received approval from the Trump administration and would transport 830,000 barrels a day to Nebraska where existing pipelines will take over, sending the crude to U.S. refineries and Gulf Coast terminals.

Best Canadian Stocks To Invest In Right Now: Wells Fargo & Company(WFC)

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Douglas A. McIntyre]

  
  U.S. sanctions of Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE: WFC) may last longer than expected. According to The Wall Street Journal:

  Wells Fargo & Co. will remain constrained by a regulator-imposed limit on growth for longer than expected, its chief executive said Thursday, as the bank continues to address the ramifications of risk-management failures.

• [By Matthew Frankel]

  Frankel: Yeah. Buffett said in his letter this year, about three months ago, that shareholders shouldn't pay much attention to Berkshire's earnings going forward. Basically, there's an accounting change now that requires what they call unrealized gains on investments, meaning stocks they haven't sold yet, to be included in earnings figures. As most listeners know, the stock market did not have a great first quarter to 2018. This was especially true for some of Buffett's stocks. Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) had a particularly bad time. Coca-Cola, Kraft Heinz are all doing pretty poorly. This made Berkshire look like they lost over $1 billion, when in reality, their operating earnings, which is the earnings that are actually being generated by its businesses, grew to a record high level, up almost 50% year over year. It was actually about a $5 billion profit, and the change in value of the company's stock portfolio made it look like a loss.
