Investment Q&A

Q: Can you give me your opinion on yesterdays announcement of Surge Energy's acquisition of Astra Oil Corp?

Thanks

Walt

Q: I heard an interview with Marin Katusa author of The Rise of America in which he stated companies such as Exxon, Shell, Ford etc. will be forced to buy carbon credits and this presents a huge investment opportunity. I would appreciate your analysis and if you agree how would you take advantage of this opportunity. Thank you for your help.

Q: Is there any reason why this stock is in free fall?

Q: The Dividend Updates section of your website indicates that Pembina Pipeline raised their dividend by 4.7% on June 1st. I cannot find any other reference to this dividend increase anywhere. Is your website correct? If it is, do you have the exact dollar amount of the new dividend? Thank you!

Q: Good morning,
I have been watching INE for quite a while. I am interested in buying it but am wondering if it is a good solid company with growth potential. I would be buying it for the long term. Also, it has recently run up. I am wondering whether I should wait for a pull back before buying.
Thanks for your input.

Q: what information can you provide about this recent IPO. it suggested that shares would be sold between 17.00 and 20.00 CAD. yet it started trading in the 13.00 range on opening day. thanks Richard

Q: Hi 5i, now that this company is alive, what are your thoughts on valuation and 3 to 5 year growth.

Thx

Q: I own both PPL and BIP.UN. It seems that IPL wants a deal with PPL having rejected BIP.UN's latest offer.
My question is the "potential deals" that PPL is chasing down. They are looking to partner with indigenous groups for TMX and of course the IPL deal.

Will their balance sheet be able to handle this if they are successful with both?
What are your thoughts on the management team's ability to combine these businesses into 1 large company?
Does that change your opinion about PPL as an "income" stock to an income stock with growth potential?

Thanks for your comments

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.
