Investment Q&A

Q: Q: Hello Gentlemen,
I hold 5.8% of TRP and 4.2% of ENB in my portfolios. Long term TRP has underperformed both PPL and ENB. I consider selling half of TRP (in RIFF) and use the proceeds to take a position in PPL.
Your opinion please.
Thank you,
Werner

Q: Thoughts on VNOM?

Q: How would the Teck Frontier oilsands mile project affect Enbridge or Pembina (if at all) if it is approved or rejected? Thanks!

Q: Hello: Back in 2015, I purchased a number of shares in IPL for approximately $25.00. Now they seem to be sitting at about $22.00 and there has been no significant changes for some time. Although the dividend is ok, I realize it has to be based on my purchase price, so isn't really 7+ %. I had hoped the price would increase with the recent pipline news, but it didn't. Back in 2015, these shares were considered a strong buy. How would you rate them Now?

Q: This seems like a small ETF. The yield is good and they seem to hold the large players in the energy sector. Just wondering what you think of this one for a multi year hold.

Q: Hi, how do you compare these two companies? And is it better to choose one of them or have both?

Thanks!

Q: Is this company ever going to have any revenue? With all the news that the tar sands is so dirty I would think this company could prove that their technology could help clean up the tailings .

Thanks Greg

Q: I like to add an energy company that can give a combination of growth potential and decent yield (around 4%). Between SU and GEI which one will be your pick? I know SU at market cap of $62 billion is considerably larger than GEI's $4 billion. Thanks.

Q: Please comment on SU's results released on Feb 5.Thanks for u usual great services & views

Q: Hi,

I have enough cash to add one of these two. Would you suggest one over the other or is this 6 of one and half-dozen or the other choices?

Thank you.

Q: I currently have positions in these two companies. (thanks to your guidance) I'm thinking of adding to both positions. Are you aware of any reasons why I shouldn't proceed with the purchases at this time? If you had to pick one investment over the other, which would you choose. Finally, is there another company that pays attention to the environment could have more short term upside? Thanks so much for your respected opinions.

Q: In reviewing the 5i responses to questions on these 3 companies you seem to favour BEP. In examing the numbers for the last 5 years through Morningstar I noted the following:
2015 16 17 18 19
AQN .30 .33 .37 .38 .79 EPS
6.53 7.14 7.62 6.40 12.9 ROE%
4.60 4.55 5.10 4.18 6.44 ROIC%
BEP. .01 -.23 -.18 .13 .31 EPS
.05 -1.08 -.81 .53 1.34 ROE%
1.86 1.85 1.70 2.82 3.26 ROIC%
NPI -.07 .64 .85 1.46 1.67 EPS
-1.85 15.7 22.1 35.6 39.6 ROE%
1.7 4.7 5.7 6.3 6.6 ROIC%
Both AQN and NPI would seem to have significantly stronger results (ROE%, ROIC%). What key data points do you look for in this investment sector? Your thoughts on your selection criteria would be appreciated.

Q: your comments on jse

Q: Good morning team i wanted to hear your opinion on the recent downgrade Thanks

Q: Do you think that Vermillion's dividend is safe if oil and gas prices hold steady, or fall by a small amount? Approximately how much do you think that oil or gas would need to fall in price for VET to need to need to cut its dividend?

Thanks,

Q: Which of these two stocks do you think has a better prospect for recovery within a 1-3 year time frame? Even with TOU's superb management and execution, it seems to be on a similar trajectory as GUD: a great stock for your grandchildren.

Thanks.

Q: At 1.00$ and a 10 % yield it seems incredibly cheap but SGY was a top pick on BNN.Could you comment seems inherent with risk

Q: Hi,

My average cost of AltaGas is $28/share. Would you continue to be patient or would you sell and move the cash to a different option?

Thanks,
