Investment Q&A

Q: Could you suggest some names to add to these categories? I already have Capital Power CPX (could add some), Innergex INE, Brookfield Renewable BEP.UN, Algonquin AQN, Emera EMA, Fortis FTS and Brookfield Infrastructure BIP.UN.

Q: i was listening to bloomberg this past week. And everyone has their picks. I trust this team much more than any one on there. They gave CNE an A and ESI a B+. What would be your thoughts on these 2 companies. THANKS again

Q: What are your thoughts on holding VLO?
It had what I thought was a good 1st quarter.

Thank you
Stephane

Q: I am seeing lots of insider buying in the junior oil and gas area. Is there a good etf that represents the sector or could you give me a couple oil and a couple gas stocks that could do well in a recovery. Thx

Q: On May 13 you responded to a question regarding the probability/possibility
of bankruptcy/restructuring of Crescent Point Energy as a 6 on scale of 0-10.
I found that quite concerning. Do you still stand on that given the improvements in oil pricing and can you elaborate further? I am a long term SH and have lost significant funds to the downturn of CPG.

Q: Over the years I have down very well with Crew and at one point sold it at its all time high of $20.
I started acquiring a new position last year and bought all the way down to below0.20.
I asked your opinion in height of the March fear and gutting of oil prices. You stated with its debt it may not survive and that you would not want to own it. This spooked me so I took your advice and sold at a significant loss. Since that time it is up over 70%! Did you get this wrong?? Has your view of Crew changed? What is your view of the upside for oil from here?

Q: I find it interesting that the SAudis would take a position in Suncor and CNQ as disclosed in the Globe on the weekend. I was thinking the Saudis would like these companies to disapear. Thoughts. Thx

Q: Would appreciate your views on how exposed ENB is to the issues apparently coming up in the US election debate, and what the best and worst case scenarios might be.
Many thanks for sharing your insights.

Q: Hi, on a risk reward basis , what are the 3 oil companies you would invest with the highest leverage to oil prices ?, this will be no more than 2% of my portfolio, so I can take the risk of losing it if they go bankrupt . My exposure to oil is rather small and limited to large companies like Enbridge and Suncor. My view is that oil will have a come back in a 3 to 5 years time.

Q: Hi group 2 questions
- I was stopped out of Byd in late March since then have been waiting for pullback to get back in, unfortunately the stock just keeps going up. I am of the opinion the market is way overbought in general and my time should come or should I nibble away ? or do you have another strategy that may work. I intend to buy 1,000 shares over the next year
2 nd question I am thinking of buying Meg + Tog due to extremely low stock price Eric at Sprott has recommended them both as top picks - I respect his opinion what do you think ?...thanks

Q: Hi! Is it a good time to add to Fortis to a full position. 10 year+ hold. Would you also add to Emera ? Thank you!

Q: Can you please compare/contrast AQN and BIP in terms of what they do, valuation, and growth. What do you prefer?

Q: Could you provide some info on the debt level, management and payout relative to their peers, and if you consider CU a buy today?
Thank-you

Q: Hi 5iTeam,
BField Renewable between late 2015 and early 2019 price wise didn't do much (the price actually dropped during this period of time). But starting in early 2019, its price started to climb and closed at record high in mid Feb 2020.
Would you please shed some lights on why BEP started to take off in early 2019 while having a negative return between 2015 and early 2019.
Cheers,

Q: Do you think that the Norway fund shunning these two companies will have a damaging, long lasting affect on their share price? Thank You.

Q: hi group if one wanted to buy an energy stock (due to extremely low valuations which company would you pick CVE looks very attractive

Q: From other answers to members' questions it seems you feel PPL is a strong Canadian company. Just want to make sure before I take an initial position, keeping the current situation regarding oil in the world in mind, that it's dividend looks safe and it's debt level is manageable. Also, do you think there is a reasonable chance for capital gains in the short and long term? Thanks again for your guidance.

Q: I own the following and thought: WCP ( good assets good balance sheet),
CJ ( slow decline rates), VET ( Brent prices) And they were all paying great dividends ! What could go wrong eh?
The model of great dividends in this sector is broken and not to return.
These stocks represent a small part of my portfolio.
Believing that the market will do its work eventually , I am looking at selling these and replacing with PXT which is one of your favourites in this sector. Would you expect it to bounce back to the same degree as the others or more / less?
Emotionally it is very difficult to sell your losers, always hoping they will come back, but have found once I sell them, they are not daily reminders of the money I have lost.
PXT has a strong balance sheet, good assets and management. Is their oil sold and refined within the region? Would you buy in RRSP,TFSA or CASH account.? Thanks. Derek

Q: Opinion

Q: I OWN BEP.UN AND IT IS NOW 14% OF MY POTFOILIO when it was 10% i was going to sell but let it run. I know its not like csu but it has had a good run if people had sold csu when it reached 10% of there portfolio they would not have had the gains they did. So the question is when to sell. so is it time to sell and rebalance portfolio or let it ride. If i sell then what to replace it with still pays a decent dividend. I am a dividend investor.
