Investment Q&A

Q: Do theses companies like ARX and Sgy have hedges in place ?

Q: Now that Vermillion has cut it's dividend does it fit that other high dividend energy stocks like ARX and Sgy may follow suit or are they sustainable.?

Q: What do you think of the long term prospects of ARX and is now a good entry point?

Q: Why PPL has dropped much less compared to Enbridge

Q: Thoughts on adding to ENB at this time?

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: Follow up...
ENB or PPL for purchase today?
Tks.

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: Does price of oil directly affect the business of ENB? Or is downdraft just sympathetic to oil price.

How do you feel about a purchase of ENB in this current bedlam?

Tks,

G

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: What are your thoughts about this Company and how it may perform over the next 3-5 years as I see that RBC has it as a income pick. Do you think the monthly dividend stable.

Thanks for your great advice!

Q: Thoughts on these 3 oil and gas producers? Is it time to pick away at them?

Q: With the current oil prices. What do you think about the company? Do you think it has good potential for growth and is the dividend safe.

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: Is CNQ a buy at this time or wait.
Thank you

Q: Freehold is down considerably and now paying an ten percent plus dividend. Even with a slow oil recovery, is this dividend safe and would you buy it now?
Thanks.

Q: Instead of buying energy companies, which have bankrupcy risk, for those of us with little to no weighting on the sector, what do you think of buying oil directly with Horizon's ETF?

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??

Q: Can we get your thoughts on Vet results and dividend reduction? Thanks John

Q: OVV (Encana): just looked at fundamentals supplied by CIBC Investors Edge - everything looks very good, if the data is correct?
