Investment Q&A

Q: KBL seems to be holding up better than most.
Do you think it is considered attractive?

Q: Would you buy these and in what order?

Thanks,
Milan

Q: Would you buy SU for a 5 year hold? Do you think the dividend is safe?

Q: Is KEY being punished for its infrastructure expansion? I understand that natural gas has been weaker lately, but I thought that KEY's business model provided some degree of insulation from commodity prices (and, particularly, oil market dynamics.)

Q: Pembina is acting badly again today (unlike the other pipelines). Any rationale for this? I see that it was halted earlier today but no news was posted as to why.

Q: HWO along with everything in the energy sector in free fall. Been here before I am ok but trying to figure what is worth holding/buying or letting go.
In your opinion will Hwo survive this rough patch?
Thanks
John

Q: Any news behind the 15% drop in share price today?

Q: Good Evening
I own both IPL and PPL
I understand that the drop in oil prices is causing stocks like Vermillion and Whitecap to plummet. However, I am very surprised with the 23% drop in IPL, and PPL.
Can you please provide some explanation as to why there was such a huge drop in the prices of IPL and PPL today? After all these companies are not oil producers.
I will also appreciate it if you could provide some insight whether it is now time to average down on IPL and PPL , hold them or sell them.
I will appreciate your comments. Please deduct two credits.

Q: Can I get your opinion on LIF for income. Thanks.

Q: Which one of the two would you recommend for a 5 to 10 year hold? I notice their yields are guide similar.

Q: Any idea why ppl which currently yields 5.27% was down last week while the above other defensive stocks were up?

Q: It looks as though utilities, and renewable utilities in particular, have taken off, while Canadian pipelines, which are also traditionally stable investments, are either flat or dropping.
Do you have any comments on whether:
1. this is a short term disparity or a fundamental shift,
2. whether one group is better than the others at current prices, and
3. If the recent drop now otherwise creates a good point of entry for any or all?

Q: Hi team
the stock SPB takes a beating for the last 7 days
were there any more bad news or just the market trend?
is it a value trap

for new money to buy for dividend and income
would one be better off in FTS or EMA as less risks?
thanks
Michael

Q: Now that Vermillion has cut it's dividend does it fit that other high dividend energy stocks like ARX and Sgy may follow suit or are they sustainable.?

Q: Why PPL has dropped much less compared to Enbridge

Q: Thoughts on adding to ENB at this time?

Q: In this market turmoil, with a bear market and very low yields, I would expect the safest stocks both for yield and low price volatility would be REITS and utilities. Both will benefit from low interest rates. I figure utilities will likely benefit from low natural gas and oil prices too. Neither is likely to see profits and revenue impacted due to either the virus or the oil war. Still, both are falling heavily today, anywhere from 5%-9%. I'm assuming these falls are mostly index related, and that over the coming days as the panic selling fades they will start to head up again as people seek safe, reliable yield. Please critique my thinking. Are there REITS and utilities which are Alberta focused you think would diverge from the rest?

Q: Follow up...
ENB or PPL for purchase today?
Tks.
G

Q: Does price of oil directly affect the business of ENB? Or is downdraft just sympathetic to oil price.

How do you feel about a purchase of ENB in this current bedlam?

Tks,

G

Q: Very tempted to put a low ball offer in on this one.
Any suggestions about a price try?
Or wait a bit longer?
