Investment Q&A

Q: HWO's Q1 results were hardly encouraging, but in view of its dividend, its lack of debt and its long operating history (inc. near-death in 2009), is there a price at which it becomes interesting - or is it just as likely to keep eroding to tax-loss season?

Q: bot this dog...down 30%...sector is out of favor...no one investing in Canada energy in fact most getting out....is there a short play coming ? any reason to hold ?

Q: Comment from Tony Marino president and CEO at VET at RBC global energy conference this week:
Under the current pricing environment, the company believes its dividend and capital program to be over-funded.
Vermilion expects to cover its dividend plus sustaining capital spend at a US$40/bbl WTI price, with growth capital covered
at US$50/bbl.
The company observed its elevated dividend yield but affirmed commitment to its current levels.
Reassuring for those worried!

Q: How can Just Energy continue to pay their same divy even after a money losing quarter.?! Stock was up 5% today to $4.74!

Q: Hi, VET drops to $29. Now the dividend is close to 10%.
My questions are : (1) Will the dividend be substantable？(2) If the oil price continues to drop, do you think the company cut the dividend？Is the possibility high？Thanks

Q: After AQN's recent acquisition CIBC published a report predicting minimum growth from the current stock price; Canaccord's target price is actually lower than the current price. Now analysts are wrong more often than not. Your view of AQN's prospects? Thank you.

Q: can you comment on their first quarter earning? If owned what % would be the maximum you would hold?
Thanks

Q: I'm down on a full position in VET and thinking of swapping it for a reduced position in SU partially for the capital loss, partially to reduce my full energy holdings but also for more stability with SU. I think SU is vertically more diversified and bigger and therefore better for a conservative retired investor like me. Does this sound like a reasonable plan or should I just hold cash and rebuy VET in 30 days and go on enjoying the higher dividend it offers?

Another reason the Su interests me is that VET's high dividend is nice but worries me. Other times I've held on to a company with a high dividend I have ended up with a capital loss that far outweighs the accumulated dividends. I would like to know if you consider VET's or SU's dividends "safer"? What might cause either of them to cut their dividend.
Two questions I guess.

Q: Hi team,
