Q: Hello Peter & Team,

With global liquid fuels production expected to increase by over a million barrels per day in both 2023 & 24, would you be bullish on new positions in the O&G sector. And if so, which would be your recommended name(s) based on growth with some dividend?
I am considering BTE & CNQ.

Thanks for all you do?

Gord

Q: Hi 5i Team. Can o get your general thoughts on these companies and, specifically, the sustainability of their dividends? At what commodity price points do their respective dividends get dicey? Thank you!

Q: Did you see Jeff Tonkin's interview with Amber on BNN today? I love the straight shooting, no nonsense way that Jeff Tonkin does interviews. Unfortunately I don't hold any Birchcliff because I have a lot of TOU and ARX. Looks like TOU is going to continue with special Divies but ARX dividend isn't as juicy. If nat gas prices stay in the $3 to $4 range I don't think that nat gas shares prices are going to move substantially so should I concentrate on dividends instead? If so would you recommend swapping out ARX for BIR? Tonkin sounds very committed to the new dividend and their debt free status gives Tonkin the backing to commit to a juicy dividend.

Q: Hi, I’m curious and very intrigued as to how an AQN takeover might happen. Could it be bought whole and if so who has the resources to pull this off? I’m thinking Brookfield/ BEPC or perhaps another Private Equity company like KKR? Or could it be sold off in parts perhaps renewables to a NPI or Brookfield and the Power Gen/Transmission/Water to a Fortis? Thanks in advance.

Q: Peter, I have a question that may sound stupid but here goes. Trudeau and Biden have said there is no future in a carbon economy and have promised to shut down oil and gas as soon as possible. What then does the future hold for Pembina , Enbridge, Trans Canada ????? I would think that with no product or much less product there future is not good either. Many analyts are promoting Nutrien as they say the world needs more food, yet our leaders are going to cut our food production by limiting fertiliser use. I was a farmer for 40 years in Alberta and grew enough Barley Wheat Canola and beef cattle to feed thousands of people a year. This would not have happened without the nutrients to grow it. If all of these things are taken away please tell me what is left to invest in??? Banks?? Thank you Ken

Q: Peter; BIR can’t seem to get any traction vs other NG companies. The dividend is minuscule - should one assume it won’t be upped anytime soon- seems like dead money . Is there a reason to sell it and look elsewhere- TOU or ? Your thoughts please. Thanks

Q: Hi there. I am looking for a dividend growth company or ETF to add to our kids RESP with a 10 year time horizon. What do you recommend from the 5i Research universe to initiate a position in now. After the initial purchase, I intend to dollar cost average on an ongoing basis. I already have Telus, Abbvie, and BMO in two other accounts and those are my highest dividend payers.

Q: Hi,
The company is downgraded by many firms. Has the future business plan is below investment grade compared to other Brookfield companies? Last year they acquired Westinghouse. The company has lowered dividend for past two year (2020 US$ 0.434 * 4), (2021 US$ 030375 * 4) and (2022 US$0.32 * 4). This is the weakest company among the Brookfield Group. My question is whether Westinghouse acquisition is not a profitable one or too early to say? Is it advisable to invest some amount in BRE.un just to take advantage of weakness in stock price at this time or better put money in BBU.un? I hold all the Brookfield Group companies that issues through spinoffs.
Thanks

Q: Hello All,

Is it possible to rank my list of utility companies sorting via most financially vulnerable therefore most likely to underperform because of the increased cost of financing. i.e worst to best please.

Is that a blunt but reasonable filter?

Could it be that the "worst" companies have been so badly beaten up that they may be worth adding to for the long haul?


Many thanks
