Investment Q&A

Q: Dear 5i,
with respect to oil and CNQ.
With oil prices being higher now what is stopping the Saudi's from
increasing production to take advantage of the higher oil prices?
Does this create meaning full risk to CNQ and oil stock prices in general? Am I over simplifying the commodity risk?

thanks

Q: I see price has been lowered and share count increased- surprising given the
ESG and renewables play. Are we seeing a top in the space or just a few too many issues flooding the market. Would you be a buyer here

Q: I hold some stock of MX and the stock is going sideway in the 40's though oil is hitting its peak.
What is your opinion on Methanex? Is it still worth holding it ?
How do you see the stock performing in the the remaining of 2021,2022.

thank you

Q: Hi 5i,
In January, evidently like a number of others, I thought QST's prospects looked promising and bought in. Now I'm down considerably. CFRA rates it as a STRONG SELL and I haven't seen a more optimistic opinion anywhere.
Are QST's prospects really, suddenly, so bad that it should be sold ASAP to prevent even greater loss going forward (although selling would mean somebody is buying at this price, thinking to make money) or would you recommend waiting through at least the next earnings report, or two? I don't need to sell, but I've held on to some sinkers in the past waiting for the turnaround that never came and I'd prefer to cut my losses and avoid going through that exhausting exercise again here if the odds are that QST will remain a sinkhole..
Thanks for your thoughts!
Peter

Q: I have the same amount invested in these stocks for numerous years waiting.If I was to sell one going forward which is your choice to keep going forward

Q: Can I have your comments on this company. Would you consider it a buy?

Q: In a TFSA, which of these two would you buy today? I know you have answered this question in the past - and that you’ve said to focus on yield, but doesn’t BEPC deserve some type of premium even in a registered account?

Q: I have just sold my Inter Pipeline stock which was about 2% of my portfolio. I am looking to re-deploy proceeds. Was considering investing in Pembina but am now wondering if Enbridge would be a better play but am unsure of where things stand with the Michigan pipeline. I would appreciate you thoughts on PPL vs ENB. I have a 10 year investment term.

Q: Hi

Presently have a 4.5% weight of FTS in my RRSP.
Thinking of selling half and buying BIP.UN for growth and the dividend
Your comments and any other suggestions are most welcome.

Thank you

Mike

Q: I am considering entering at this point.Comments please.

Q: I like the website changes, well done.
I'm starting to think about tax loss harvesting. I have losses of 15% & 20% respectively in AQN & BEP.UN (only held since early 2021).
Would you consider this short holding period too short for meaningful tax loss harvesting (i.e. being too focused on short-term movements)?
I intend to add these two (or similar) back after the 30-day period, they are part of my longer-term plan.
Can you suggest one or two replacements for the interim (or longer?). Portfolio is appropriately diversified and already includes FTS. H? EMA? BLX?
Thanks.

Q: Are there any catalyst, or catalysts, in insight to lift the renewable energy stocks out of their 2021 humdrum? Names in this sector are all down YTD from BEPC's highest of 33% to RWN's lowest of 7% - with no exception. Would you recommend a name in this group that would have the likeliest chance for a quick rebound / turnaround? Thanks.

Q: Hi
Please note PPL is not available in the short search. It was required to add :ca to bring it up.

Would you please expand on your comment earlier about Brookfield wining the bid for IPL? Was this just because the bid is out there or do you have an opinion.


In my position Brookfield deal is a big loss due to taxation(25% capital gains hit) as well as the benefit of holding PPL shares ( dividend, growth, Heartland participation, PPL Reputation) The share price of IPL is now tracking PPL (0.5 x $41.40 = $20.70) and is way above the Brookfield offer($19.50 Maybe? or some kind of shares?).

Brookfield offer is no longer financially better than PPL offer.

Is there something else in this?
Dave

Q: what is your outlook for AQN as a result of their proposal? It seems the investors do not like it at all. Is it time to move on to something less convoluted or am I overly concerned.

Q: Hello
Could I have your thoughts on PIF earnings, growth forward and any comments on the sale of carbon credits which I find interesting (money for nothing).
Appreciate it thanks

Q: What's up with Suncor today? A good buying opportunity for the long run?

Thanks
Robert

Q: Do you recommend starting a large position if you are risk adverse regarding the political climate in Colombia.

Q: Hello 5i: I have a 5% position in IPL and my cost avg is $ 25.95. If we assume that Pembina offer is accepted @ 0.5 shares current offer .. is it best to take a capital loss and sell now, or stay with Pembina as it seems to be a better managed company and possibly gain in both share price and dividend distribution.
Thanks
Carlo

Q: These 2 companies paid a dividend prior to the Covid Collapse. In the case of American Hotel there is some indication of a possible return to dividend payments by Dec 2021 but it's not clear if Surge Energy will return to paying a dividend. Do you think these companies will return to paying dividends again, and if so, what should I be watching for to give me an idea of how long it will take to return to paying dividends.

Looking forward to your need website.
