Q: Hi 5i,
Although not a full position for me, I've held TOU in what was my RSP and is now my RIF since energy plunged post COVID - my cost base is a touch over $18.00. Between capital appreciation and dividends, I've done well since 2020 and like the name. But I don't want to let sentimental attachment cloud my judgment.
Aside from dividends, TOU has delivered literally nothing since the spring of 2023 when it was, as it is now, trading around $58.00 per share - although those dividends are not to be minimized, now being in the range of 11% or so per annum based on my cost price, not including the special dividends that TOU does pay periodically.
Given these particulars coupled with your view of the next 5 to 10 years of possibly increasing LNG sales which I know some are optimistic about – but which I don’t know to be a certainty - is there reason to hold TOU or would the money be better placed in ENB or another energy related name that pays healthy dividends but also features the possibility of share price appreciation that isn’t based on the hope of LNG sales to Asia?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Peter

Q: First Trust Natural Gas ETF (FCG) - not in your system. This US based ETF has a mandate to invest in MLP units among other things like stocks. Does this make it problematic for Canadians to hold as it pays a 2.8% dividend? How does it compare with UNG - also not in your system?

Q: Realizing it is a theoretical exercise, should we enter a further pull back in the energy sector which companies are more in play and susceptible to take over bids?
