Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: On today (Friday) .... and on the Half Time Report, Rob Sechan expressed the opinion that, for investors looking for long term reliable dividends, HIGH QUALITY MLP’s could play an important role. I believe you have had justifiable reservations in the past ( just don’t remember the details). I would appreciate your thoughts on this as part of a dividend/ income focused portfolio.
Can you recommend a few high quality MLP’s that might be part of his thought process .... and I do understand your more limited focus on US markets.

I do not believe there are any MLP’s in Canada. Or am I wrong? Thanks once again.

Q: In this market turmoil, with a bear market and very low yields, I would expect the safest stocks both for yield and low price volatility would be REITS and utilities. Both will benefit from low interest rates. I figure utilities will likely benefit from low natural gas and oil prices too. Neither is likely to see profits and revenue impacted due to either the virus or the oil war. Still, both are falling heavily today, anywhere from 5%-9%. I'm assuming these falls are mostly index related, and that over the coming days as the panic selling fades they will start to head up again as people seek safe, reliable yield. Please critique my thinking. Are there REITS and utilities which are Alberta focused you think would diverge from the rest?

Q: Hi team,

My first time real bloodbath experience. Just wanted to ask if you change your comment about not taking an aggressive stance on VET after this past weekend. Can the company survive with say $30 oil prices for the next 6 months, given the fact their debt to cash flow situation is going to get much worse. Would you buy today or would you expect the price to go even lower?

Thanks for being with us during such exciting times! :)

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Please deduct as many questions as you see fit. I have a basket of oil stocks which of course I have wished I did not own for quite a while. Monday will be brutal. My question is surrounding the fact that some of our companies have significant hedges in place at higher $ per barrel while others will not have any or many. In the event that the market torches them all on Monday equally would you please research and provide details on hedging % , period and $ for a large list below
ARX,CPG,ERF,GTE,KEL,PXT,SGY,TOG,VET,WCP,YGR

Secondly could you advise of the debt to cash flow of the worst 4 of the above and the best 4 of the above.

Please provide detailed response with as many questions deducted as you see fit.

Thanks for all you do

Dennis

Q: Hello, is there a stock symbol I can use to follow the price of Crude Oil WTI? I have just looked on Marketwatch.com and it was 41.57$. The symbol they use is CL.1, but if I use that exact same symbol elsewhere I get no results. There does not seem to be a standardized symbol for crude oil WTI. Thanks, Gervais

Q: I never thought I'd see VET at $10.00 Is this a great buy or just a disaster - moreso than it is already waiting to happen?
Is this company sustainable at this number? With anyone but Trudeau at the helm I'd think theres a chance...but with him I fear its all downhill.
Your opinion....does this company survive??
