Investment Q&A

Q: Have reviewed from report on BEP.UN.CA. Already have a large position in Fortis and AQN..T Reasonable to add BEP.UN,CA, or drop one of the others ? Await your comments ,

Q: Hello! If you had to pick one, which would you side with and why?

Q: These units are down > 60% today after an announcement that the company is doing a debt exchange and suspending cash distributions on preferred shares. I find this very surprising as the units have been steadily going up and were trading at above par prior to the announcement. Doesn't the market typically anticipate such things (i.e. if there was any reason to believe the distribution would be cut or suspended, the units would not be trading anywhere close to par). Any thoughts on this, especially given that Brookfield owns the common shares and the debt but not the preferred? Where does that leave preferred unit holders? Would it be prudent to simply take my loss and exit the position? Thanks.

Q: Good morning,
What is your opinion on WM , it continues to report excellent drilling results but the stock is at an yearly low and no interest at all by the investment community.
Thanks,
George

Q: In an account I look after, the goals are capital preservation and income generation. There is sufficient diversification from other holdings. Some changes are required and I am considering either one of or both of EIF and TCL.A. Their market cap is below $2B; do you see them as reasonably secure and stable. If you had to choose only one, what would you go for? Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Good day, want to have your opinion on earnings results and the one year outlook/target if oil price stay between 65 and 75$ thx

Q: Do you think there is a possibility Canadian Natural Resources and Tourmaline will increase their dividends sometime in the next 12 months given the amount of free cash flow each seems to be generating at current commodity prices? Or continue aggressively paying down debt? I am also particularly interested in your comments on Tourmaline's earnings release yesterday and what you see for CNQ earnings release.

Q: Could I please get your assessment of this company? It reported today and it's stock plunged almost 11% before recovering some. Clearly there were some issues with the report, though it beat expectations.

Q: With the growing interest in ESG companies do you think AQN is a potential acquisition target? Wondering if it small enough to get the takeover-kind of attention.

Q: Does TTE's current low valuation and reported moves into renewable energy suggest success for a 10 year-hold especially given its favourable dividend?

Q: Please give your opinion on this investment.

Q: Good morning,

Could you pleas help simplify the options available for IPL shareholders when considering the Brookfield offer , including the offer of class A or class B shares?
which is the best way to go?

thank you

Q: Why has BIPC dropped almost 10% since the announcement that Brookfield will probably win the Inter Pipeline sweapstakes? Is this a temporary drop or is it expected to last?

Q: Hi, I’m missing the dividend on this stock, I guess it will not return soon? Could you rate it on a scale of one(worst) to ten.
I’m also selling for a capital loss , and possibly buy back. Would you sell now or wait till Nov. Dec. tax loss season? Would you even buy back as it seems to be a laggard compared to TOU.
Thanks

Q: I assume Bipc is dropping to the $80 level because of the 0.25 of a share or $20 IPL offer. Does the price usually head back up to where it was pre-acquisition or nor? What sort of time frame?

Q: My Material's weighting is a little light and I am mulling over a purchase of LGO to balance out some gold stocks. I notice LGO's stock spiked in 2019 and then collapsed. Would you advise me that the spike, collapse and now climb-out is just a typical roller coaster Material company ride - ie the ride comes with the territory? In addition I am uncertain how much faith I should put into LGO's newish battery technology. "Green Technology" also seems to be another version of a roller coaster ride. Any thoughts you have would be appreciated.

Q: Can you comment on NEE's quarter just released? Thank You
Peter

Q: Now that the IPL,PPL combo is off the table which of the three has the best prospects going forward? Thanks Ron

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.
Peter
