Investment Q&A

Q: I heard on BNN, where Americans aren't buying Canadian Oil & Gas stocks. Viper put out a statement where there production is up 23% over first quarter & 95% yoy. Average price $73.64 down 10% Quarter one, but because of increased production, their cash flow is up & increased dividend 10%. Stock price has basically traded sideways over this years spanned & didn't have any momentum on the announcement. Undoubtedly I am missing something again. Appreciate your comment on Viper. Thanks

Q: Hi, just a follow-up regarding adding to a KHW.UN position:
I just noticed 2nd quarter financials will be released August 14. Would you recommend to wait to add until after 2nd quarter is released just in case they didn't meet/beat their expected earnings? Or do you add regardless being comfortable that they will be in-line with expectations?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan & Co.,
Can you please comment on PPL's most recent quarter - it appears to me to be good one. I hold this for income mostly, but would like to get your comments about the prospects for share price appreciation as well; the whole sector seems to be out of favour. Given the most recent results, do you anticipate dividend increases from this company going forward?
Thanks!
Brian

Q: Hello 5i. Could I please have your thoughts on AD's Sequel announcement? Is the impact here short-term, subject to AD's ability to find new royalty partners as beneficial as Sequel? The market obviously doesn't like the announcement. Thanks as always.

Is this a reasonable switch?

Q: Hi, is the following news item material and cause for the further drop in the stock the past few days? Thanks.

TransAlta Renewables Inc. (RNW-T) and TransAlta Corp. (TA-T; TAC-N) issued a release responding to Fortescue Metals Group Limited's "view" that the South Hedland Power Station in Western Australia has not yet achieved commercial operation.

The view was outlined in media reports in Australia.

"All the conditions to establishing that commercial operations have been achieved under the terms of the power purchase agreement with FMG have been satisfied in full," the companies stated in a release. "These conditions include receiving a commercial operation certificate, successfully completing and passing certain test requirements, and obtaining all permits and approvals required from the North West Interconnected System and government agencies. The South Hedland Power Station is fully operational and able to meet all of FMG's requirements under the terms of the PPA."
