Investment Q&A

Q: I currently owner PONY and I'm down almost 50% on what I own, it only represented 3% of my portfolio when purchased, I'm thinking of averaging down on it, is that a good idea or not.
I've been looking at Neo Lithium for a few weeks now and was thinking of purchasing some and wanted to know what you think of it if you follow it at all?

Q: Hi,

MCR had a nice shift up, likely due to the MOU with Kinder Morgan. I've hung on this long and feel like I should hang in there some more. Your thoughts?

Thanks

Q: Why do you think ENB has lagged relative to TRP? ENB looks like great value here - yes?
Thanks

Q: stock has been acting poorly, even making new low today when other,similar cos are well off lows in the same industry. Debt/cf well under 2. Please comment. Thanks

Q: Hi;

CQE continues to lanquish. It has an FFO of $0.03 per share and production is up 8%. My understanding is that it is performing well and has a high level of inside ownership. Who are the "insiders" on this and what is your opinion of them? I am down almost 70% and I am looking to either triple down with another $4,000 investment or take my loss. What is your opinion?

Q: We know that CVE has a ton of debt and that there may not be much life until oil prices firm up.
That being said, they did beat the street's most recent earnings predictions, it's selling well under book, it's been basing for the past few months and the dividend is just shy of 2%

What do you think of CVE as a potential 12 month investment?

Q: Your thoughts on the prospects and risks with this company. Keith

Q: On RMP specifically, do you have an opinion regarding their announced asset sale?
Of greater interest, what are the mechanics involved when trading resumes after a Halt Trade order? While halted the bid and ask were matched at .445. Shortly after the halt was lifted the bid and asked appeared to be matched at .485 but no trades appeared. A few minutes later, same scenario at .52.

I viewed this on Direct Investing and it appeared that the first trade - after the halt - occurred around 2:10 (and according to RBC site the halt was lifted about an hour prior)

Q: Can you comment on recent earnings. Is it okay to continue holding this one.

Q: What are your thoughts on this LNG transporter, tia, I have a small position.

Q: Can you explain why the price of gas at the pump is going up because of the hurricane Harvey; while the price of the oil barrel is going down for the past few days. (Eg. $46.29/barrel NY Aug. 29/2017).Thanks

Q: I have had a substantial amount invested in CPG and SGY for quite a while and I'm down 50% on CPG ($18k loss) and 52% on SGY ($15k loss). I'm now wondering if there is such a shift occurring in energy policies that oil stocks may never recover, and that perhaps I should take the loss on these two and invest what's left into something more conservative, like POW or PWF. I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thank you.

Q: Oil operations in the American southwest have been hampered by Hurricane Harvey, yet the price of oil has gone down today - is this because (hard to believe!) the disaster is not as bad as the market feared? Alternatively, if we should expect a disaster-induced price increase in the near-future, does this recommend any particular domestic oil producers?

Q: Debt: What is a reasonable and safe amount of debt for a company to have? Does it depend on the type of company? I'm looking for a guideline. I realize telecoms carry higher debt. Also, I noted that you pointed out with Encana (ECA) "debt is still more than 4X cash flow".

Q: I bought both of these stocks in equal amounts at the start of the year and RDS is down 2% while VET is down 30%. Both have around the same yield. I am thinking about selling RDS and using proceeds to buy VET with the assumption that I will have a better return in long run when oil prices recover. What do you think of my plan or would you just keep both stocks.

Q: Dear 5i
I look at the chart of the TSX and see that its been trending downward over the last 6 months or so while the S&P and DOW have been trending upwards over the same time period . My thought is that it might be a good time to invest in the TSX now as that downward trend is most likely to start to reverse upward and not invest in the DOW or S&P as that trend is likely to reverse downward . On the other hand 5i generally advocates investing into strength meaning investing the opposite to what i`m suggesting . The other thought of course is to invest equally amongst them all so diversified across the board . I know predicting the market is impossible but i still like to invest to some degree on probabilities .
Appreciate your thoughts .
Thanks
Bill C.
