Investment Q&A

Q: Hi
I also hold BEP/UN and AQN. Being that BEPC is at break even now, I am wondering if I should hold it, or switch it out for BLX if BLX has more potential for growth over time. Would you have a different suggestion than BLX? Your thoughts on this would be appreciated!
Thanks for all your hard work - Dawn

Q: Hi 5i,
I'm lucky yo be up 100% in KEY over the past little more than a year in a registered account and based on my buy in price I receive a healthy 12% annual dividend. Although I know it can be thought of as a utility I realize KEY is more properly classed as an Energy stock and I also hold significant weight in ENB and TOU, so paring down Utility/Energy weight would be OK. I'm wondering if KEY's future growth and dividend prospects are strong enough that I ought to just hold on to all of this (so far) very good thing, or if it might be both prudent and rewarding to sell 1/2 and buy into GSY with the proceeds. I hold both CM and BNS but in reasonable weights and mainly for dividend growth, and I wonder if looking for some torque from GSY with the profit I've made in KEY makes sense.
I'd sure appreciate your thoughts. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter
Mullen group results looked good except for the drop in net income due to foreign exchange. There was also an analyst upgrade. Still, the stock dropped by over 4% today. Can you tell why the stock dropped today?

Q: I hold both these stocks in a RRSP account. Is this a duplication. I like the yield on both . Thoughts

Q: Is there a simple formula I can use to calculate what price an oil company should be trading at. I would like to use it for Parex and a couple others.

Thanks Steve

Q: Just looking for an opinion,

In what scenario does this ever get back to it's glory days before the oil fallout years ago? I have owned this for sometime in a TFSA and wondering if I should just keep holding due to not being able to harvest tax loss or take the loss and move the proceeds into something else in a different industry where over time I could recoup the loss.

Q: Opinion

Q: Hello 5i Team

BIPC in their July 19 press release quoted the Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) report that recommends IPL shareholders vote for the BIPC offer to purchase IPL.

Is the ISS report available to general investors? From what I read on ISS website (buried under the Press Center page), ISS reports are not made public, nor does ISS issue press releases.

Is BIPC being disingenuous in touting the ISS report, when small investors are not able to review the ISS report and make their own decision on whether to accept the recommendations of ISS and vote on the BIPC takeover?

Thank you

Q: Your thoughts on the prospect for good returns on this stock from current levels?

Q: Hi 5i,

Thank you for the great work. Would you be able to share perspective on Denbury Inc (DEN)? The company jumped out for the correlation to both green themes, and energy prices.

Thank you in advance!

Q: good day. I purchased MX about 6 months ago. It represents 1.5% of my portfolio. It's dropped about 19% since purchasing. I'd like your advice on whether I should add, hold or sell this position in favour of another stock in the sector. if the answer is sell, what could I replace it with? Thanks

Q: At the time of writing this, BEPC is trading at $50.66 and BEP.UN at $47.49.......their corresponding 52 week highs are $80.30 and $63.39 which means that BEPC is 58.5% off its high and BEP.UN is 33.5% off its market high. First blush would suggest that BEPC may have a much greater upside from here but that of course relies entirely on what the market determines is a fair premium for BEPC. Currently that premium has dropped to 6.7% . Do you feel that this is too low, too high or just about right??

Q: Hello 5i Team,

If interest rates were too rise, how would you rank these pipeline companies in regards to their debt levels and their potential future growth.

I appreciate you response as all ways.

Q: ENERGY:
I sold most of my energy holdings a while ago, the last one being SU: Suncor just before the price of oil started to increase.
I now only hold ENB: Enbridge at 2.4% of overall RRIF portfolios.

Is it a bit too late to think about increasing my holdings in this sector?

I'm a buy and hold investor and rarely seem to act in time to take advantage of sectors coming in to and going out of favour. Maybe you could consider giving we laggards a heads up when you start to notice that this "in and out of favour" starts to happen?

Thanks for your ideas.

Q: Pason has been seeing declining revenues, shrinking profits, etc. At the current price (say around $8), is it a reasonable price?
What are the possible downside risks if one were to invest at current levels and how long would the recovery take?

Q: Could I have your thoughts on Chart Industries .
Thank-you.

Q: Hello 5i Team

With respect to the ongoing take-over/merger of IPL by BIPC/PPL, I have the following questions:

1 – There appears there is a time lag of 22 days from the filing date of BIPC “Notice of Variation” to the meeting date (i.e. third Notice of Variation filed July 15 to proposed meeting date of August 06). Is this a stipulated regulatory
requirement?

2 – If the required notice period is 21 or 22 days, then is it correct that PPL would NOT be able to revise its offer of 0.5 shares of PPL for each IPL share prior to BIPC meeting date?

3 – At current prices, for BIPC/IPL/PPL, who is buying/selling IPL in the market?

If an IPL purchaser would want to vote for the BIPC offer, they could buy shares of BIPC cheaper than the equivalent amount of BIPC they would receive in the BIPC offer.

If an IPL purchaser would want to vote for the PPL offer, they could buy shares of PPL cheaper than they could buy equivalent amount of IPL shares.

It would make sense for existing shareholders (from prior to announcement) to hold and wait for the results of the bidding war unless one wants cash from either proposal.

4 – What are 5i thoughts on who will ultimately win this takeover battle?

Thanks

Q: what's your outlook on superieur plus with the new acquisition today, positive, negative or neutral? thx

Q: I'm looking for some ways to invest in hydrogen as an alternative fuel source. I would like to invest in some companies that one could consider to be the "best of the best" in the business. In other words, they produce "green hydrogen' but also are solid financially. I'm hoping they would also be reasonable buys at their current prices. I would appreciate both Canadian and global companies if possible. One last thing, if it's too early to be investing in this new fuel, I'm prepared to wait for the appropriate time.
Thanks as always for your valuable opinion.
