Q: I realize this is quite Apple and oranges. In a taxable account I have held J&J for a long time so have a nice gain. Not much growth happening right now. Your thoughts on a change to CNQ for a better dividend and more growth potential? Thank you

Q: I am a retired senior in his mid 70s and looking for monthly dividend income. I am looking for your opinion on this particular ETF to see if it would fit the bill. The etf I am looking for would have to be low to med risk and carry a descent monthly dividend, and have low fees. One of my concerns with this etf is diversification as it appears to only hold 20 stocks. Your opinion on this etf or any other one that would fit the bill would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hi Peter,
I want to invest in a large cap energy stock that is well run, with solid balance sheet and generate increasing free cash flow. Valuation is lower than peers with lots of upside for capital gain. I’m debating between SU, CNQ and CVX. Which one of these would you pick and why? Or if there is another better candidate? Thanks.

Q: Hello,

I understand Warren Buffett recently purchased OXY and I was wondering if you might share a rationale that would favor this stock versus CNQ, TOU,IMO or other CAD producers trading at approx. equally low 52 week levels, with higher mkt cap, dividends and dividend growth.

Thank you and all the best to you and your families in 2025.

Q: Both TOU and ARX have access to LNG producers through contracts already in place. Do you see these contracts as any kind of hedge or insurance against possible US tariffs on natural gas?

I'm a big believer in the future of natural gas, and therefore hold these companies as my second and fourth largest holdings. Do you like any other Canadian gas producers better than these two?

Q: We are at equal weight, full positions [2 O&G stocks, 2 midstream]. Our goals are dividend growth, some capital appreciation. My question is whether we should overweight midstream over O&G stocks given 1. macro/ political [Trump tariff threat and preference for lower O&G prices], and 2. data centre demand.
