Q: G'morning 5i,

I'm sitting on a fairly substantial loss on GXE in my TFSA. In trying to decide what to do, I first waited for the strategic review to complete, hoping that something positive would come of that. When it didn't, I next decided to wait for its latest earnings report, hoping for something positive there but, from my review of the numbers and despite management's rosy outlook, I don't see anything re-assuring there. either.
My inclination is to sell, take the loss and do something useful with the now severely diminished funds.
Occasionally in the past when I've made that decision with a losing investment, hindsight has caused me to regret it, and I think perhaps I should have been alert to signs that a turnaround was in the offing.
From your objective perch do you see any reason to hold GXE given the milquetoast strategic review and what I interpret to be the less than satisfactory recent earnings report?
I look forward to your thoughts. Thank you.
Peter

Q: I will be making a case to our investment club to replace CU with ENB..The portfolio mandate is conservative growth with above average dividends. How would you compare these two companies, what metrics would you use, how would you frame the presentation ?
Thanks. Derek.

Q: What do you think of senior loan funds in general, and this one in particular. Seems like a safe and diversified way to earn steady income. Any other information sources on this asset class? What would be your best pick?

Q: Hello 5i, Could you comment on TVE as to I think I caught the last part on the news as to the Indigenous groups have a majority stake in Tamarack Valley and if so what are the details?

Q: Hi 5i
With reference to brians question, is it Whitecaps intention to continue to pay down debt? At the current rate when would they expect to be debt free ? What happens then with share price ect assuming oil continues on the current path.
thx

Q: Thoughts on the quarterly report please. Do you feel they are making the correct adjustments to improve their outlook? Do you continue to see them as a cautious hold? Thanks.

Q: Which one is a better buy today ? Thanks a lot.

Q: Recently retired and looking for growth and income and looking for suggestions with FTS. Have owned for 5 years and currently up 10.48 % over that time. One of my weakest performers in my rrsp. What would you do with this? Sell outright and replace with? I’m considering H as I own both and H has outperformed with 69.86% over the same time period. Which would you prefer for the next 5 years? H? FTS? ( is there hope for FTS) or something else and which would be buyable today?
Thanks for all your guidance

Q: BNE has been one of my worst performing oil and gas stocks over the past year. Your last answer on BNE mentioned that it is cheap on all metrics and my spreadsheet shows it screening well against other oil and gas companies. What do you think is the problem?

Q: With the explosive growth of energy-hungry AI, it seems there will be a major increase in demand for energy generation and transmission. Do you consider that a valid premise and if so, how does one invest? I have buckets of BEPC and BIP but their share values don't seem to be saying much positive, at least for the past year. I get the interest rate influence on utilities but will there be a burst in power demand triggered by AI? thanks al

Q: Thoughts on whitecap's quarter and year end? please note this is not a private question

Q: In one of your answers yesterday, you intimated that the sale of Enerplus might not be a done deal. "Devon is a much larger company than CHRD and if it wants ERF it likely could top this bid. .... This one may not be over." The press release announced that both boards unanimously approved the deal. Are you aware of the size of the breakup fee ? Do you know who the largest shareholders of ERF are ? As an ERF shareholder, I agree with your assessment that this is not a great deal.

Q: comment please on PIF recent earnings release
thank you

Q: Hi 5i
WRT howards question on takeover targets, what percentage would you expect to effect a successful acquisition of either of these two....how would determine this, back of envelope calculation?

What was the chord offer for ERF

Thx

Q: 23% of my portfolio is invested in utilities (carefully selected stocks+ETFs + covered call ETfs (and some leveraged ETFs) for the following reasons: 1) dividends as revenue + various tax advantages 2) its seems to me that utilities are quite "essentials" in a society during crisis, even if interests are high 3) covered calls for revenue + to compensate for the actual high volatility + some protection for potentially down markets. Your opinion on this approach ,as any suggestion , shall be greatly appreciated ! regards Jean-Yves
