Investment Q&A

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

Q: Have owned these in the past and have made a profit. With all the hype in LNG and a possible rebound in commodities do you see any upside investment in these stocks. Benji Gallagher sees a big jump for BDI but HNL at least pays you to wait. Would like an analysis of both and which one would you prefer for an investment today.
Thanks Gary

Q: Good morning 5i team
The 2018 audited statements say VET recorded a $128 million "Gain on business combinations", which were 1/3 of the co's. net earning for the year. $68 m gain came from assets acquired in Wyoming, and $59 m from acquiring Shell E&P Ireland Ltd. Notes to the statements say the gains came from ... changes in values from when the purchase agreements were entered into, compared with when the transactions closed, in the following two areas:
- recognition of additional reserve value (in Wyoming), and
- increases in the fair value of capital assets (in Ireland)
These gains do not impact 2018 operating cash flow numbers, but to someone without industry experience, they raise questions. That said, please advise,
- How unusual in 5i's experience are these types of gains in energy company acquisition transactions?
- Does this raise any red flags in considering an investment in VET?
Thank you.
Edward

. do you agree, should i keep holding or take my money and run. dave

Q: With the election result in Alberta do you see this as reason to buy into energy stocks now? Not that we can predict this falls federal election but it does seem like voters may be seriously looking at the harm done by both Notley and Trudeau liberals to the energy sector. Any thoughts related to this given the Cdn energy sector has been a terrible play for quite some time. Would appreciate your thoughts on this situation.
