Investment Q&A

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

Q: So with the pipeline companies yielding between 8 and 20% and factoring in a 50% dividend cut, they would still have a nice yield. I suspect that some might increase, or at least slow price decline if cut.
Please list these companies in order of balance sheet strength and debt % and coverage, and order of preference. Thanks

Q: Good morning,

Looking to clean up my oil and gas names but don't mind keeping some or adding others to maintain some exposure.

How would you rank TOG/TOU/BTE/WCP in terms of bounce back potential/likelihood of survival/balance sheet strength? What is you top two?

Do you much prefer SU, PXT, FRU, BIR vs the above names? What are your favourite oil/gas names at this time?

Thanks

Q: Is there any way for a retail investor to trade WCS crude directly as a commodity? If this low price continues for the next few months, are there any companies that will go bankrupt?
Please deduct as many credits as needed. Thanks.

Q: Hi,

Is there an oil stock listed either in Canada or the US or both that does not have any debt on the books? If so, is it possible to name a few.

Thanks

Q: Hi Folks
can you comment on Enbridge and TransCanada ( TC Energy ) - are they still okay to hold at this time ? In particular are they okay to hold at the same time - I have both BUT not in the same portfolios. I have ENB in my RRSP (2.5% position), in my wife's TFSA (2.5% position) and in my non-registered account (2.5% position) . I have TRP just in my wife's RRSP (4.5% position ).
Appreciate you comments.
Thanks

Q: Hi- do you have a few names that are high risk oil companies. I look at someone like athabasca, and it needs 60 dollar oil, but has 275m in cash as of dec 2019. Any companies that are cash rich and can be sat on for a year or two while things play out. Athabasca specifcally has been here before... WCP also looks compelling with hedges and cash flow.

Q: Boy these companies' stock prices took a hit. I appreciate many mid-size PNG companies will likely go bankrupt with the drop in oil prices. But I always liked these companies as I understood they had lower costs of production than many of their competitors.
1. Is that assumption correct?
2. How would you assess the strength of their balance sheet?
3. Do you see these 2 companies as ones that are at high risk of going bankrupt in the near future?
