Q: Hello team,
Following OPEC'S meeting this week-end seems like there is much confusion and a panic reaction as to the extension of cuts into 2025 but also the fazing out of some cuts in October. I am looking at averaging down on Tamarack and looking more at there disciplined approach to paying down debt and repurchasing shares.Is this a good opportunity to purchase and looking at holding for the next year or so?
many thanks, regards,
Jean

Q: Hi - you initiated a 1.5% position in PSI on Mar. 26 and then increased its allocation by another 1.5% on Apr. 9.

You were also asked a question about PSI in comparison to NOA and TVK on Apr. 1, to which you replied you like NOA and TVK.

"PSI is a much more cyclical business than the other two (TVK is less cyclical, and NOA is currently in an up cycle), which we would not be comfortable owning for the long term. In terms of total return, we think TVK and NOA could do well from these levels over the next three to five years given their cheap valuation."

Can you please clarify - what are you seeing in PSI that you like? Is it something you are comfortable owning for long term? Why did your comments seem unfavorable to PSI while you were acquiring shares in your income portfolio?

Thanks,

Q: Hi, With addition of CNQ to Income portfolio, Energy Sector exposure will go up to 12.5% (ENB, PSI, PKI, CNQ and CPD). Balanced Portfolio currently has 7.6% in Energy ( ENB-3.6%, SU-4%). If you had cash, would you increase Energy weight to at least 10%+, Today and if so, will CNQ be your preferred name ?

Also, based on the Companies' financial strength and market dynamics of Energy sector, would you consider a combined weight of 15% ( CNQ, SU and ENB ) reasonable or excessive for a Moderate to High Risk profile investor ?

Thank You

Q: I'm interested in an energy name that I can hold for a minimum of 5 years with good dividends and reliable long term growth? I'm torn between an ETF with less volatility like XEG and an individual stock like CNQ with its higher growth? What do you suggest? Should I wait for a better season?

Q: Dear 5i team.

Debating which utilities are still good value, now that there has been a bit of a bounce over the past few months.
I'm considering cpx vs npi, but happy to hear if you think other names have more in the tank as these two seemed to have recovered in lock step.

Many thanks for your help.

Q: Me thinks that spaceship that fearless leader Blaarg is piloting is actually an elaborate can of worms. In 10 years time, according to some environmentalists, we earthlings may be drowning in our own carbon-laced pollution, unless a better solution to or energy needs can be met. As a pessimistic Albertan, I suspect most of us will still be driving evil combustion engines in 2034; however, I am hopeful that there are some game changers in the energy horizon - maybe not Canadian - that may save the planet. Do you have any suggestions we can put on our watchlist? I'm waiting for 5i to beam me up !

Q: Hey can get your take on these two companies for income and just general value? I know they are different sectors but both compelling yield. Which would you prefer overall. I don’t really care about small cap risk just which do you prefer? Should I just own both. What did you think of their recent quarterly results? Feel free to take 2 creds here thanks.

Q: Do you recommend holding Enerplus until the close of the deal ? Are there restrictions on ERF insiders and employees on selling their CHRD shares as soon as the deal closes ? If I do not stick with CHRD, I would like to keep these funds in O&G. What are your favorites in this sector. I own WCP, CPG, TOU and the pipelines. ERF is currently held in a TFSA. Thanks.
