Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i, other than a widely telegraphed interest rate rises from the Fed, what else is driving this company to new lows? All the talking heads don't like it for reasons like; it's still expensive; it makes investments below cost of capital. Any insight to this downtrend would be greatly appreciated. Thx.

Q: Peter; Any news to account for high volume today ( Nov.30)? Thanks
Rod

Q: Hello, Im assuming you will get a few questions on TC Energy. What is your opinion on this company with its 6% loss today and huge increase in spending for its pipeline project? Is it time to get out? Would Enbridge be better now?

Q: Do you see any other utility stocks at risk of the same fate as AQN?

Thanks.

Q: Hi, What is your assessment of Suncor after today's highly anticipated investor's day and stock selling off apparently triggered by company's decision to retain Petro Canada gas station, which has 18% market share of Canadian fuel distribution business. One of the reasons, company assigned was the safety net/cushion this business provides during the times of company facing headwinds of lower demand for oil. Looks like, market was expecting a decision otherwise. which would have helped rerating of shares and narrow the discount, stock trades at, relative to its peers. How would company fund its purchase of Fort Hill Oil sands, from Tech Resources, due to close in 2023 ? How does this all play with activist investor and overall impact on stock price ? Thank You

Q: Could you elaborate on your response to Tim saying you are comfortable in replacing AQN with either CPX or FTS in terms of the total dividend income under each option. Do you think that AQN's dividend is at such risk that it is the best option today to move out of AQN and take a lower dollar amount of dividends.
Thank you.

Q: Hello, I'm recently retired. I am seeking income generating vehicles for my various, registered plans (RRSP, LIRA, TFSA) to invest in. I'm considering an investment in ZWU. I'm wondering if there might be a similar, utilities based, covered call, ETF available for the American market?

Lastly, if any of these ETFs might also be available without the covered call overlay and if you believe that those versions of the ETFs might provide better, mid-term probability of a greater Total Return; I'd be interested in your opinion, as well.

Thank you!

Q: Hi, Why has Suncor stock sold off today morning, while Energy sector bounced ? Is this related to company's decision Not to sell its Petro Canada to add to existing position ? Thanks

Q: I'm down 40% on AQN, and thinking of selling what would be a good replacement in the same sector and dividend yield.

Q: Is TOU still a good buy at $78 or has is it fully valued? Thank you

Q: What is your perspective on Cenovus compared to Suncor and CNQ for a 2% allocation in a well diversified Canadian/US equity portfolio?

Q: Is this a good entry spot/time to buy AQN? and your comments please.

Q: Hello Peter,

The stock has dropped close to 10% since the explosion and death of 2 persons at their facility 2 weeks ago. Do you think the liability from the accident has a material impact on their eps for the near future?

Q: Could you please recommend at least three Canadian products (stocks, etfs, bonds, whatever) that have an annual yield of at least 6%, but are ‘lower risk’. If you could list them in order of least risky to most that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Good Morning
I woud appreciate it if you could provide me with Credit Ratings for the following companies as I have been unable to find the information. Maybe your Bloomberg will help me.
EIF, NWC, TPZ, FRU, PKI.
Do you consider the credit Rating to be a very important metric by which one can judge the safety of a company and of it's dividend?
Thank you............ Paul W. K.

Q: I own Algonquin and as many of your members I am down. I see this as a long-term holding and do you see it as a HOLD. Thanks.

Q: I presently have some U.S. cash available to invest. As a retired Canadian investor I already own CPX but would like to add Fortis to further stabilize dividend income. Fortis is listed on NYSE and TSE. Other than trading volume is there a disadvantage to buying in NY?

Q: What are your views on the latest earning results for Polaris Renewable Energy and its future growth? The share price has been dropping after a nice run-up. Would you rate it a hold/buy/sell? Thanks
