Investment Q&A

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.

Q: Hi
Please note PPL is not available in the short search. It was required to add :ca to bring it up.

Would you please expand on your comment earlier about Brookfield wining the bid for IPL? Was this just because the bid is out there or do you have an opinion.


In my position Brookfield deal is a big loss due to taxation(25% capital gains hit) as well as the benefit of holding PPL shares ( dividend, growth, Heartland participation, PPL Reputation) The share price of IPL is now tracking PPL (0.5 x $41.40 = $20.70) and is way above the Brookfield offer($19.50 Maybe? or some kind of shares?).

Brookfield offer is no longer financially better than PPL offer.

Is there something else in this?

Q: what is your outlook for AQN as a result of their proposal? It seems the investors do not like it at all. Is it time to move on to something less convoluted or am I overly concerned.

Q: Hello
Could I have your thoughts on PIF earnings, growth forward and any comments on the sale of carbon credits which I find interesting (money for nothing).
Appreciate it thanks

Q: What's up with Suncor today? A good buying opportunity for the long run?

Thanks

Q: Do you recommend starting a large position if you are risk adverse regarding the political climate in Colombia.

Q: Hello 5i: I have a 5% position in IPL and my cost avg is $ 25.95. If we assume that Pembina offer is accepted @ 0.5 shares current offer .. is it best to take a capital loss and sell now, or stay with Pembina as it seems to be a better managed company and possibly gain in both share price and dividend distribution.
Thanks

Q: These 2 companies paid a dividend prior to the Covid Collapse. In the case of American Hotel there is some indication of a possible return to dividend payments by Dec 2021 but it's not clear if Surge Energy will return to paying a dividend. Do you think these companies will return to paying dividends again, and if so, what should I be watching for to give me an idea of how long it will take to return to paying dividends.

Looking forward to your need website.

Q: Hi, Can you please explain this Secondary offering in simple English. Thanks

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. ("AQN" or the "Company") (TSX: AQN) (NYSE: AQN) today announced that it plans to conduct an underwritten marketed public offering of equity units (the "Equity Units") in an expected aggregate stated amount of $900 million (the "Offering"), subject to market conditions and other factors.

Each Equity Unit will be issued in a stated amount of $50 and will initially consist of a contract to purchase common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") and a 1/20, or 5%, undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of the Company's remarketable senior notes expected to be due June 15, 2026. Pursuant to the purchase contracts, holders will be required to purchase Common Shares on June 15, 2024. The Company intends to list the Equity Units (that are in the form of "corporate units") on the New York Stock Exchange and expects trading to commence within 30 days of the date of initial issuance (subject to listing approval).

Q: I own a large amount of shares in IPL and also own shares in BIP
I ‘m debating if I should sell at the current market price that is higher of either bid or wait it out to see if BIP makes a higher offer. If I wait it out and Pembina offer is accepted I would loose a nice amount of cash.
I gather this will play out soon maybe as early as next week.
What do you recommend.
Thanks

Q: With orders coming in for EV's as well as regular buses and a new plant coming on stream is this co. an interesting buy for future appreciation? H.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
We all lost our shirt on PennWest...However OBE has done well lately. Please give your opinion on this company. Would you rate it a hold because it has a runway or better to just take your money and run? Thanks as usual...

Q: Good afternoon,
Given recent corporate developments at PPL - would you view it as having much more room for price appreciation or view primarily as a hold for income?

Thank you

Q: can i please your opinion on this one? who or what do they do?
