Q: As a sector goes, I am so confused by the Canadian "utilities" over the last 5 years.
Why is it so heterogenous in performance, FTS, CU, EMA, ENB,H, TRP ? Why did ENB AND TRP seem to rebound in 2024?

Q: Hi Peter and team,

Let me set my question up with some one liners!

1. "Drill baby drill"
2. Services provided to the Americans are exempt from tariffs.
3. Canadians are not just good but excellent in Oil and Gas exploration.

So what are the Canadian companies that can "Drill baby Drill" in the States and benefit from Trumpian mantra!
Precision Drilling? Any other company?
Who are the American or the international competitors?

Q: Hello, I have held Northland for 20 years, gradually building a full position, but it is now coming back to my average cost. I understand renewables are not trendy these days, so should I 1) hold on to it, 2) add to it (no longer a full position now) or 3) let it go. FYI, I also have BEPC in renewables and EMA and FTS as utilities as well. It is part of a dividend portfolio and the div is good…Thanks!

Q: Trump has said he will suspend leases for wind projects, onshore and offshore. A couple of questions in re BEPC

1. how much of BEP's projects (including those in development ) are wind

2. Of their wind projects, what proportion is in the US?

3. Given the huge ("unstoppable") demand for electrification, plus the fact Trump is not the customer buying it, does it really matter what Trump says about wind?

In short, how much damage can Trump do to my BEP stock?

Q: This share holders vote for GXE is a mess. I am reading other bullboards where share holders can't seem to get the form to vote for or against the proposed partial sale of GXE to CVE. They have the chance to chose if they want to take shares or cash as if they deal has already been approved. Is two months, considering those two months included Christmas, considered a short, long, or normal length of time for a company to make an announcement of a major change and the actual vote on the proposal by share holders? This deal seems very rush and communication from gxe has been minimal.

Q: Hi, could you please rate these companies for a riff account. My goal would be dividend, growth and stability in down market. I have money for one company. (Would buying U.S. be beneficial?)
Fell free to add your favourite stock for my goals.
Thanks

Q: Reviewing all your input on this stock, was wondering if you could share your take on the TD summary of analyst ratings (5) where three (3) are suggesting it is a "sell" while two (2) rank it as a "hold", average target price being $33.04 while today it is trading at $35.83!
Am I missing something here. Appreciate all you excellent support.
Ted.

Q: I'm looking for suggestions for stocks or ETFs that would benefit from increased investment in the north (either infrastructure-, defense- or resource-related). Do you have any suggestions of opportunities that warrant further investigation for a 'northern/artic play'? I can't help but feel that all the talk south of the border about Greenland, Canadian resources, etc. that someone will be spending substantially more in the north over the next 4 years...

Q: I think we might get an opportunity to buy o&g names at a discount soon as they are already pulling back out of fear of Trump tariffs, even though oil prices have been stronger. If you could only invest in 1 or 2 oil or gas names on the pullback, with the qualifier that its not a forever hold and I'm looking for something with decent torque to the upside when political worries go away, what names would you pick? As an example I'd probably avoid CNQ since it doesn't drop as much when oil is negative, but also doesn't go up as much when oil is positive. Thx

Q: So I’m sitting here day dreaming about SOBO. I understand Keystone XL is now their “ asset “ and wondering about possible scenarios under Trump. If he again OK’s it , would the stock move and in what direction, will it get built, is it still needed , would it be doable for this size company , etc ? Needing to add to my list of high dividend stocks, SOBO interests me and wonder what this sizeable project would have on the stock. Thanks.Derek
