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: 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: 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)?

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.

Q: What are your thoughts on oil supply and demand? I know you favour Parex and Suncor. Do you have a price deck you are working off, or oil and gas forecasts? With Brent and WTI at or above USD50, I would think there are some companies with a ton of operating leverage.

What companies have the most torque if oil goes to $60 this year?

Q: I continue to hold CPG long hoping for further recovery. Given the oil price seems to be holding a bit higher I am anticipating a continued ramping up of free cash flow and rising SP. Overall this has been a dog in my portfolio. Based on valuation metrics and the +$45 price of oil is a $10 target (mine) reasonable in the next year or two? Or would there have to be a significantly higher oil price to get that SP level? If the question is too specific general commentary is fine. Thank-you for your service. 2020 was my best year for investing, ever.
