Investment Q&A

Q: With Biden to sign XL ppl stoppage, which companies should I stay away from or does someone like ENB benefit?What do you see as the fallout from this?

Q: With Biden apparently going to cancel the XL pipeline, what do you think will be the impact on the company and is has most of this already impacted the share price?

Q: Given their recent runs, do you have a preference between BLX and NPI?

Q: Can you tell me which stock is currently cheaper to buy and the price metric you rely on: Birchcliff or Keyera? I would like to get exposure to natural gas sector and based on Q&A these two companies seem to be your current favourites. Are there other significant differences between the two to factor in? thanks again - John C

Q: EMA and FTS are both trading below their 200 dma and at their support prices.
Is there anything fundamentally wrong with either company to account for the drop? Or is money just rotating out of utilities?
I have 1/2 position in each and am thinking to add to them on this dip.
Would you suggest to add now at these prices? Or wait for them to turn up and over the 200 dma as they may just drop further?

Q: Hi,

I own Parex and I saw that earlier this week they announced share repurchases of another 10% of their float in addition to the 10% purchased last year.

What do you think of share repurchases instead of instituting a dividend? Which do you prefer? Are share repurchases a good use of capital?

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Using only the metric of growth,which do you think has the best growth profile for the next year and why? Thank you.

Q: please explain the cve.wts

Q: How would you recommend investing in the oil industry which may have a bounce back in the next year? Are there other ETFs you would recommend? Thanks for your great service, Bryan

Q: My holdings in these two companies have grown substantially even though I recently sold a bit of NPI. Given that I think the sector has a very strong future, I am loathe to sell too much even though you'd say I am still overweight the sector (13%, not including other utilities like FTS).

Does it make sense to move some of my holdings into AQN, or would you really prefer to advise me not to let the holdings in this sector get too big?

Thanks for all your help.

Q: Given your answer today about BEPC having too much of a premium, do you advice selling it and buying BEP.UN instead?

Q: Hi Guys Happy new year
between these 2 companies which one would you think will have better growth in the next couple of years.

Q: I am looking to increase my oil/gas exposure. of the 3 companies on the 5i porfolios, which would you recommend in terms of valuation and potential for growth? If you have any other suggestions please send them.
thanks for your help

Q: Hi Team,
A belated Happy New Year.
Would you please suggest some US$ based as well C$ based ETFs with a focus in AI and renewable energies.
Cheers,

Q: I own ENB, FTS, and TRP but think I should position more into green/clean /renewable type energy companies. I do own AQN which I believe fits into the clean/renewable category. So I am thinking to sell one of ENB, FTS or TRP and replace it with a greener alternative. So which one would you sell and what would you buy to replace it with(can you provide more than one option)?
I would like to just take a moment to thank you all at 5i who have such a huge positive impact on my investing. Over the last few years, since signing up, you have given me so much more confidence in my ability to manage my own affairs. You are the perfect resource. There to lean on, answer my questions and point me in new directions and to new opportunities.

Q: The above holdings now represent 10% of my equity portfolio. Should I bring this back to 6-7% or should I let these run? If so,
to what extent? Thanks, Martin

Q: Hi 5i:

Great advice in2020! Wonderful service. I currently hold KL and ABX at @ 2.5% of portfolio. Looking to add a junior producer to increase my weighting. Which would you prefer from EQX, WDO and BTO and what advantage would it have over the other choices? In addition, having done well with TOU (2%), I would like to add to my gas position. My choice is ARX. Advice or other suggestions please. Existing positions and new purchases would be in TFSA. Please deduct form question credits as appropriate.

To staff and families at 5i - be safe and stay well and thank you.

Tom

Q: Would you recommend ATCO for a 3 to 5 year hold or would Fortis or Emera be a better choice? Also, why has ATCO gone down so much in the past 6 months.

Thank-you.
