Investment Q&A

Q: What is your opinion of this ETF for a core long term holding for exposure to the oil and gas industry? Is the MER high/low in your opinion. What alternatives if any would you suggest? Thanks

Q: I am always confused on days like this when Canadian oils go one way and American oils the other. I would have thought the sectors would both move mostly in tandem guided by oil and gas prices. But, not for the first time, XEG is down today while XLE is up. Why would that be? Yes, it is a bad market day, but ALL my US oils are up strongly while many of the Canadians (TOU in particular) are down. BTW, what % of a diversified portfolio would you devote to oils and gas today? Should pipelines be included in that consideration?

Q: I hold SU PSK and WCP. I don't want to hold oil and gas in the long term, so want to eventually sell these three stocks. Do you feel this sector will likely perform well through a recession and would you tend to continue to hold them through the next year? Could you suggest a target price for each. Could you suggest what I might replace these with in the alternative energy sector - with dividend. Thank you!

Q: Do you think the remarkable energy share price surge will continue, if at a lesser pace than the past year? Rumours of $150-$180 oil are popping up. Would you care to offer a prediction for oil prices 12 months from now?

Q: Can you give your opinion regarding natural gas in terms of price appreciation and can you recommend two US and two Canadian natural gas companies with good upside
Thanks

Q: Which company has the most potential and which do you prefer.

Q: Has Cathedral (CET-T) declared a dividend in 2022? If so, what are the details.

Q: Could I have some clarification on the dividend for this stock. Your database shows a dividend of 1.94, but morningstar and globe and mail both report a dividend of 6.47. Just wondering on the big difference. Tnx

Q: I am thinking of buying these companies in my tfsa account in equal weights. Do you have any concern with any of these companies and would you be able to rank them in order of possible upside? Thank you

Q: Can you recommend a few unhedged names that would benefit most from a continued price increase in natural gas

Q: New name, Has anything else changed?
Would appreciate your thoughts and opinion. Brian

Q: Peter and Co,
The UK has introduced a ‘windfall tax’ of 25% on energy company’s profits. The bite of this tax can be substantially reduced on profits that are reinvested in more fossil fuel extraction. While this reduced tax rate might result in greater investment in oil/gas extraction and, therefore, production and profits it would appear that in subsequent years companies using reinvestment to reduce current taxes will have to make greater and greater reinvestments to keep ahead of the 25% tax. I understand that the existing UK tax on fossil fuels is 40%.
My portfolios are very overweight in energy stocks and particularly Vermilion. I understand that VET’s Corrib gas field is located within the boundaries of Ireland and the company pays only the Irish tax of 25% and has never paid taxes to the UK.
Would you please confirm or correct my statements about the UK taxes on fossil fuels. and the advantage that VET enjoys being an Irish producer?
With appreciation,
Ed

Q: i do not know much about oil but like buy in cash account for dividend.
can u tell me your top 3 US oil company today?
can u tell me top 3 Canadian oil companies

thanks all your help

Q: I have pipeline exposure but no direct oil investments. Would you recommend an oil company? Perhaps Chevron or a Canadian oil company or an oil ETF?

Thanks

Q: Of my pipeline holdings, these 3 companies occupy ENB40%/TRP38%/PPL22% respectively. Ironically, over the last 5 years share price-wise, ENB has done the worst, and PPL the best. I would like to add a bit more to the group and normally I would start with PPL so to balance the three. I would appreciate your thoughts on the future of these 3 or any other alternative options and given the splits, which would you choose? Also, would you say that moving NG is the better longer term bet vs oil?

Q: Can you rank the above "cheap" Canadian Oil and Gas companies according to 12 month growth potential with the assumption of >$80 WTI and >$7 MMBtu Nat Gas (NYMEX) price ?

Q: hi folks:

what do you think is the sensitivity of oil/gas stock prices are to the actual price of oil/gas?

one side believes high prices (of stks and the commodity) are due mostly to supply shortages and the ukraine war

the other side believes that these 'issues' are secondary to the FCF generated by these companies - and all will be debt free and paying out large divvies even at the $70 oil level - and this makes it completely different than any other time in history

i am curious to hear your 'side'

thanks

Q: Good morning,

For a long term income play, do you prefer BCE or Telus in the Telco space and why? Thanks.

Q: Pipelines. My energy exposure is a market weight in Canadian crude and nat gas producers, What exposure would you recommend to the pipeline and energy infrastructure names and which names do you think offer the strongest prospects as a mid to long term hold? Thanks.
