Investment Q&A

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

Q: I noticed when comparing both stocks (TDwaterhouse data base),
TOU : EPS =1.65, div/year = 0.48, P/E=7.6, P/CF =2.6
WCP : EPS =0.13, div/year= 0.34, P/E=32 , P/CF =3.2
If both have lots of cash flow, why WCP has much higher P/E than TOU ?, What is WCP doing with its cash ?, Is capex, paying debt, shares buy backs any of the reasons to explain their main difference in earnings? Can I assume that TOU has a better balance sheet and therefore is safer ? Thanks

Q: If you had a vote on the PGF deal what would it be....in support of the deal or against and main reason why please.

My general impression is:
1. The shareholders get hung out to dry
2. The debt holders get made whole and dont take any type of haircut

Bankruptcy was looming but if anything that should have given them leverage with the debt holders. If nobody is buying assets the receiver wouldn't have any buyers either. Even if I wasn't holding a few thousand shares I would find this deal to be questionable.

Q: I have been wondering about this for a while but haven't known were to find the answer, so I thought I would try you guys. If Quebec is the block to Energy East, why not build the pipeline to Lake Ontario and move the oil to east coast refineries via tanker on the St Lawrence Seaway?

Q: Hello Peter and Ryan,

Saw three big volume trades crossed right at the opening bell,in which Scotia Capital crossed 3.75 million shares at $9.81, while RBC Capital Markets did two crosses at the same price, one for 2.5 million shares and the other for 1.25 million. Just wondering the implication of doing this since the buyer and seller are the same broker? Thanks!

Q: Hello!

TransGlobe Energy for me is down 40% for me since buying it earlier this year. While I do have a time frame of at least several years, I am wondering about the opportunity cost in the shorter term, especially given the sector and specifically TGL's operations being primarily in Egypt. It is in a TFSA, so tax loss isn't part of the conversation. It is not a big position, and is less than 2% of portfolio.

I'd appreciate hearing your thoughts on its short- to medium-term prospects.

Marc.

Q: In a recent answer to a question on an oil company, you mentioned that it is hard to be optimistic on a company if you don't like the management team. So my question is, which of the management teams in the oil sector would you want to align yourself with, and why? Alternatively, which of the management teams would you not align yourself with? Please deduct as many credits as necessary to fully answer my question. Thank You.
