Q: Hi Guys
Quite surprised Baytex has dropped $1 off share price in the last month off what seemed to be an already discounted share price.. Any insights into why it is off so much versus other Oil and Gas companies? Also Baytex always is in the top ten traded stocks on the TSX each day. Any idea what that is? does it attract more speculators?

Thanks

Stuart

Q: With the oil and gas stocks getting hit in recent days, I am considering taking a position in one dividend paying company once things appear to have settled a bit (as if I know). I have been looking at TPZ as a NG position or WCP for oil. Of these two, do you have a preference, based on company fundamentals combined with the commodity potential (ie NG or oil)?
Thank-you

Q: I was watching BNN today (sept 9th) and on market call the guest had this as one of their picks. The guest mentioned that ESI is paying off 600M in debt using free cashflow which they are apparently halfway through doing with a target date of to complete this end of next year. The guest was making the case that after this debt is paid that free cashflow the div could be increased and the company could do a 22% repurchase of the stock outstanding. What is the management of this firm like do they have a track record of success? What do you think of the thesis put forward by this guest. Is this company worth a flyer?

Thanks

Q: The Morningstar report on NXF is really a downer citing weakness in management for lack of experience and the process of leaning toward larger and undervalued companies as well as overweighting in yield paying companies and those paying dividends and buying back shares. Hey, isn't that a GOOD thing? If I wanted caution I would be buying bonds. As I read this report the question is should I heed this comment or stay with NXF as it is? From 2020 it ranged from $6.80 in 2022 to $5.80 nowt to me it seems appropriate in my well diversified portfolio.

Q: With lng Canada online soon, things are looking good in the years ahead for Nat gas Price in general but there is also a recession risk if we dont get a soft landing. My question is would you be confortable holding a full oil&gas positions atm or keep a decent cash position like mr. Buffet .
I'm not sure how big of an impact a recession might have on the Sector given whats ahead with current lng development and the Sector being already depressed as it is, how much further down could it go if we do get the recession

Q: Acknowledging that 5i may not agree with my opinion here, if one were to believe that Solar-Wind Battery Storage systems will eventually be cheaper than Gas / Coal / Nuclear, etc. power, would BEP.UN be the best investment choice?

With regards to the above, are there any other Canadian options - even an ETF - for holding within a non-registered account. I'd want to avoid that T1135 form !

Q: Good morning,
I read that Enbridge cut its pipeline tolls by more than 10% in late August due to competition from the TMX pipeline. Will a cut of this size have a significant impact on ENB earnings? Which do you consider a better investment at this time: ENB or TRP? Thanks as always for your advice.
