Q: OVV (Encana): just looked at fundamentals supplied by CIBC Investors Edge - everything looks very good, if the data is correct? Please provide comments on this stock for me as a potential BUY or not? What are the true facts? Here is what CIBC had: ROE=15.47, TTM PE = 1.75x, B.V. = $28.00, D/E = 83% (high) & PR = 7.17%.

Q: Inter Pipeline has a current dividend of 8.9 %. According to TD Waterhouse today, the the 2020 estimated payout ratios are 81 % of AFFO and 197 % of EPS. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is 6.3 %. These numbers are high compared to other similar companies. Would it make sense to sell this stock and purchase ENB or PPL instead ? Thanks, Joe

Q: Hello. What are your thoughts on Ensign Energy Services (ESI.T)? They recently had a dividend reduction after engaging in the purchase of a competitor (Trinidad Drilling). The stock has collapsed and continues on a downward spiral. Is this a good long-term (5 yrs+) investment?
I am down considerably right now, should I take my losses or average down right now? Thank you.

Q: Today it has been reported that MEG has asked the Alberta Energy Regulator for a 3 year delay in the approval process for the May River Project that would add 164,000 barrels of bitumen per day. MEG is down 0.97% on this news so the market doesn't seem too concerned on this deferral request. Would you agree? What are the pros and cons to this delay and given MEG is considered to be a take over candidate would this be seen as favourable by a potential purchaser? Thanks Gordon

Q: Natural gas has declined over the past 5 years or so and I am considering taking a position. I believe that LNG has a longer term very bright future especially exports.
Can you comment on AR:US, DVN:US ( producers) and UNG:US (natural gas pricing etf) or any other natural gas security.
Thank you
