Investment Q&A

Q: Is this a good entry point for TRP as a long-term hold? It seems out of favour and I wonder if this is more a reflection of the industry than the stock itself.
Many thanks for your expertise.

Q: Both these giants have publicly commented on hoping to turn their respective battleships in the renewable direction. Both currently pay healthy dividends (5.5% and 8.2%), and have taken a whalloping in the market. Wondering if you feel these companies have the cash and asset reserves to protect these dividends (small cuts would still be acceptable at the current rate), and hold steady on valuation, or dare I say it, grow in the long run? Looking to add to a corporate account I try to fill with sustainable/steady players paying 3.5-6.0%. Have a 20+ year time frame.

Thanks,
Mackenzie

Q: Hi team:

about 2 years ago, when CVE was around $ 15, it was a top pick by a BNN
market call speaker who I think is a conservative investor in general; he thinks that it has good value and pays a dividend to wait

the company HSE that was bought by CVE now was trading around $ 25 plus over ten years ago too and paid a dividend for the investors

The less than ideal outcome of the CVE stock ( has suspended dividend if I am correct) does reflect the general outlook for the Canadian energy stocks;

but after the last Fed election, one of the natural gas company just moved the head
office to the USA, the dividend paid out from what I understand no longer qualified for the dividend tax advantage

I wonder if CVE might be the next Canadian energy company to re-locate South of the border ? I also share the deep pain of the workers for the CVE who got laid off after the merger that no longer have a job

I wonder if it is a Value trap stock ?
thanks
Michael

Q: With respect to Howard’s question re: IOL, to my knowledge their real estate dealings are managed through Devon Estates Limited, which I have seen described both as a “non-distributing corporation” and as a subsidiary of Imperial Oil. This may account for why real estate (versus “land”) does not show up in the filings of IOL proper.

Q: Hello,
What do you think of WCP ?
Thanks!

Q: I have 700 shares of Huskey ,down 63% held in a Rif .What's your view on to how to maximize any additional value. Sell now and move on, or wait for the deal to close and then see where Cenovus is headed in the next quarter rafter the completed merger?

Q: What are your thoughts on PXT? It has dropped over 10% the last several days.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I realize oil and gas are high risk for numerous reasons. However I am wondering if this trust company may be suitable as a contrarian play. Are they stable in the long run. There dividend is almost 30%...which seems impossible? Even if they cut it in half it would be great. Would it be at least a hold for current owners of the stock? Your assessment and comments would be appreciated. Thank you!

Q: Do you have any insight on the topic of the real estate holdings of this company? I know they sold an impressive tract of oceanfront property in Greater Vancouver in recent years, and a gas station site next to a Skytrain hub is being converted to a high density apartment project.
I'm unsure if accounting rules still show that real estate is to be carried on the books of a company at the original cost. I'm also wondering what percentage of gas station sites and other land holdings are company-owned or leased by Imperial Oil. Thank you for anything you can offer toward gaining an understanding of these real estate values.

Q: With regard to this HSE deal been bought out by CVE all shareholder deal, Do you think is better to buy HSE, or CVE

Q: Following the presidential debate it sounds like Biden has a fairly aggressive stance towards a switch to clean energy. Also, he seems intent on renewing spending on infrastructure. I already hold Algonquin and ICLN in the so called clean energy sector. Any others i should look at there? And what might profit from infrastructure spending, should Biden win.
Thanks
