Q: Hi Peter
I am thinking of balancing the asset type in my income portfolio .
I am currently 40% financials , 25 % energy stocks . 25 % real estate, 10 % consumer
Do I need to rebalance?

Do you have suggestions for dividend paying growth stocks that i can add or health stocks that you would recommend over my current portfolio.

The minimum dividend for a stock in my portfolio income portfolio is 3.5 %

Thank you

Howard

Q: could you suggest a few canadian and us equities you would recommend today for a balanced approach, and a brief supporting comment...thank you

Q: What would be your top picks for Canadian large cap dividend paying stocks that are currently trading at a good entry point?

Q: PXT last reported its earnings the week before. Kindly comment on its results and forward guidance. As well, are there any reason for the weakness in share price lately, especially yesterday which slid down by 5%, right from the opening bell. I'm looking for tax losses for 2022 and PXT seems to have jumped to the forefront at this point. Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i would there be interest in ATH and CR as takeover candidates and if so who would be the most likely companies that would be interested in them and why.

Q: Thoughts on their quarter please?

Thx

Q: Could you tell me what's happening with Tourmaline the last few days, or is just Nat Gas is having a rough week??

Q: With their stellar 3rd quarter report, does this soften your negativity towards this company? Or is it still one of your most unfavourite stocks?

Q: The Q3 results seemed fine, and guidance is positive so why did CJ get hit so hard today (down 12 per cent). Other oil names were down as well but nothing was down as sharply as CJ. Is there something that I missed? I like the 6 cent per month divvy and now that the debt has been dramatically reduced I feel CJ can continue to pay the divvy even if WTI drops down to the $70 ish range. Is there something here not to like than a recession pulling down demand for oil and subsequently price per barrel?

Q: Parex is starting to look so tempting that I am considering it again despite an anti-oil government now in charge in Columbia. The dollar a year dividend now yields well over 5 per cent and I estimate that at least 20 per cent of PXT's market cap is covered by net cash on the balance sheet. I sold out of PXT in the high $20's before the Columbian elections but I promised to revisit is it went sub$20. It is now below hence the revisit. If the Petro government were to get really radical and decide to nationalize the foreign oil and gas (and mining for that matter) companies what kind of compensation might be paid (I am sure had some experience with that back in your Sprott days!!) I recall The Harper government getting a free trade deal between Canada and Columbia. Does a deal like that make nationalization much more difficult? I wouldn't waste your time on PXT but at sub $19 it is really tempting!!!

Q: A follow up on y PXT question. On the stockhouse bullboard someone posted that the Gustav Petro (sounds more like a Russian that a Latino) government announced a new 10 per cent tax on 'exports' of Columbian crude. Is the oil that PXT extracts in Columbia used domestically or does it go for export? Or am I spitting hairs on the definition of the word export? Also the same post said that royality payments would no longer be tax deductible which is a drag on post tax profit but it can't be that big of a hit?

Q: Good morning team, thoughts on the quarter for Innergex.
Thanks
Rob

Q: Was there a dividend increase announced in their last report?

Q: What do you think of that news, the company offers to buy $100M worth of their shares in a Dutch auction. What proportion of the float would that represent say at today's price plus 15% ? Does this make it buyable? Thanks

Q: If a 2% tax is imposed upon oil and gas co. share buybacks, I assume that free cash flow will be directed toward debt repayment and dividend increases, with low debt companies raising dividends the most. Which O&G companies would you recommend, ( if my assumption is correct )?

Q: Does PKI's current unattractiveness come down to its debt ratio or to end-of-year selling-the-losers? Everything else in energy is doing so well. Supposing tax loss sales peter-out and interest rates stabilize, does PKI become attractive as an income investment?

Q: RNW attributes much of the bad news in its Q3 results to lost income from and rebuilding expenses at Kent Hills, and given management's comments ("Rehabilitation is targeted to be completed by the second half of 2023 for the Kent Hills 1 and 2 wind facilities"; MD&A p14), it looks like these losses will continue for at least three quarters (possibly offset by cost-recovery from third parties and their insurers.) All that admitted, is there some forward-looking point at which RNW becomes attractive again?

Q: Can you please rank the above utilities for Value. I used EV/EBITA data from Yahoo Finance and got this: NPI (8), BIP.UN (11), FTS (12.7), BLX (13), BEP.UN (15), NEE (26), AQN (28)
Thanks!
