Investment Q&A

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

Q: A comment and a question if I may. There's so much talk about markets being at 'all time record highs' as if this is a reason in itself to sell or short. But if markets have consistently gone up over many decades, you could argue that in a historical sense the market is almost always at an all time high.

On to my question: I need to add an oil/energy stock for diversification and I'm on the growthier side of risk tolerance. Do you have a preference between RRX and ENB at this time?

Thanks 5i!

Q: Hi 5i team,

As infrastructure in various countries are now in an expansion/renewal phase, infrastructure stocks may be the new 'utility' stocks of the future. I currently already owned BIP.un. Given the current market conditions, please recommend some Canadian or US listed infrastructure stocks or ETFs that are worth investing in now. Thanks

Q: Peter and Co., may I please have your response to the following quote from HWO's website? The drop in the stock appears to imply that there are significant problems. Only a few days notice was given before the departure.
"High Arctic also announces that Darren Greer is resigning from the position of President, International Operations in order to pursue another senior executive opportunity in an Australian exploration and production company effective August 19, 2016."

Q: Hello Peter:

Ithaca released their 2Q results on Monday and it appears that the FPF1 is on station and is in the process of getting its 14 anchors hooked up. What is your viewpoint of the results? Do you think that this stock is nearing the derisking point? I know that there is still a risk with dynamic commissioning of any platform but once oil starts to be produced in Nov the daily production should double to 20-25k a day. With the production starts where do you think this stock could rise to in a $50/bbl environment with an operating cost of $20/bbl?

Thanks,

Brendan

Q: Hello,
Do you still have a positive outlook for these 3 companies (2 year outlook). I currently own these 3 stocks and I am tempted to take some profit but do not need the money at the moment. Sector allocation is still fine.

Also, with oil now at $42, can you please share your short term outlook. Should we expect some increased volatilty over the next few months ? Thank you.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
BXE just reported horrible numbers. Since I am not an accountant... I am wondering about all these financial transactions. Do they really reduce there debt and put them on a more sustainable footing going forward. Do they really buy them time and the ability to survive this down cycle? I realize an increase in oil price would be great news for all energy companies!
Thanks for your time and insightful thoughts... and yes you are always great on BNN! Ha!Ha!
