Q: Given the absolute collapse of the oil I expected that the companies at least directly related to this would be hammered today. But that is not the case. What am I missing? Thank you

Q: About investing in oil directly, here is some information members should know. Please correct me if I am wrong: Although Horizon ETF "HUC.TO" is less liquid than "USO", it has a an advantage over it in this environment: It holds the December contract, not the next 2 months contracts. In other words, USO bets on oil in the short term, and HUC.TO bets on oil in 7 months.

From Horizon: "HUC’s unique methodology is designed to provide the best possible exposure to the commodity. This is done by gaining exposure to the winter months (December) contract of each year, which is often the most liquid, to eliminate the monthly futures contract roll which often creates negative roll yield. Because the oil market is most typically in a state of contango (upward sloping curve), the process of providing investors exposure to the near- month contract 12 times per year creates a constantly changing underlying investment which can prevent the ETF from accurately tracking the commodity. HUC invests only in the December contract and executes its underlying exposure roll once per year, each June."

Q: Would that be an impact on non-energy stock price as the oil price went negative ? What are the possible scenarios ? Would that drive down other stock price as well ?
Thanks for your expert opinion.

Q: Greetings 5i,

USO. Are there any hidden costs in carrying this over several months to a year? Decay?

Cheers!

Q: Hi team,
What is your current view on this company? It has had excellent drilling success, pays a 5% annual dividend, has it's debt level under control.I am thinking long term, that is three years. Do you think that their shares are undervalued and would it be appropriate to add for a long term, three year time horizon?
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: Price of Oil
What happens on the futures market if one want to buy/sell an option when the price is negative?

Q: They recently announced that there will be shifting 20% of their investments to future contracts that expire 2 months out, how do you see this effecting how the etf reacts to oil prices. I have invested in this fund recently to play the oil recovery over the next year or so, should i shift my approach to this investment?

Q: Oil price dropped to record low, would SU stock price dropped to March price low? Many thanks

Q: I owned PPL for a few years, and with the sell down of late, I'm interested in adding to my position.

However I'd like your view on: 1. does PPL have sufficient cash flow to maintain the current dividend payout? 2. what about the counter party risk that drove down the share price, how real/or likely is it, or is it just the usual market panic?

Thank you for your insight.

Q: A highly rated analyst has rated CNR a "sell" according to TD. I've held it a long time - should I sell it? If so, what would you suggest to replace it? Thanks.

Q: The Prime Minister just announced a $750M fund to reduce emissions in the energy sector. This seems to be the sort of thing Questor Technologies does. Do you think this will give a boost to QST stock? Are there any other companies that are in this space and could benefit?

Q: Hello 5i Team. Is this a good time to buy Gibson Energy for a 3-5 year hold?
Thank-you.

Q: My simple reading of the financials, looks like the total number of shares outstanding, X the existing price, is less than the net assets. The expressed book value is also much higher. Does this Company scrap, for more than it trades for ?

Q: 1st question on ENB , I see lots of recommendations on ENB. I understand that this co. has mostly take or pay contracts (I am also aware of their investments in renewables etc.) however, it looks like there is a possibility of oil storage filling to capacity, if this does happen many pipelines will have basically slow to a trickle or even stop for a while, if this were to happen would this not give energy cos. stuck with take or pay an out as their contracts wouldn't be honored, it seems like a very risky situation to me for all the pipelines, what is your take on this?
2nd question would you endorse buying ZQQ for a 1 stop tech exposure ( I like the idea of being hedged) or would you prefer something else. I was also looking at the ARK etf's F W K ( tesla seems heavy in some of these) which of these would you prefer in combo with a ZQQ or instead of? dock as many as needed as I don't use many, lol. Thanks for your perspectives and all the work you do.
Tom

Q: I own ENB and PPL. PPL was purchased for stability and safety of the dividend. The position is now way down. Would you recommend selling PPL and replacing it with TRP? Or is PPL seriously mispriced at this point and better to sit tight and wait for recovery?

Q: Could you please give your take on the survive-ability of this company?

Thanks, Alan
