Investment Q&A

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

Q: Ouch !! Energy stocks down 6% in just Today's session. Looks like, many support levels are breaking down. What's your take ? Get out, Buy More or, Do Nothing. Are there any catalysts on the horizon, to provide support ? Shaky grounds for investors in the sector !! There was a comment on CNBC, that, if the sector does not bounce back in this quarter, there could be a repositioning and selling by Institutions and Portfolio Managers/ Hedge Funds, in January, 2024, accelerating the downslide. Thank You

Q: Regarding Brian’s question:
I can’t find a press release, but I think this issue was in fact scheduled to reset on Dec 1 , 2023
Pembina website shows a dividend rate of 6.525%, presumably based on par at $25. This would run until Dec 1, 2028.
Adds up to about $1.63 per annum or $.4078 quarterly.
Stock closed at $20 so if bought at that price would effectively yield about 8.16%.
I apologize if my math or info is incorrect, but this is worth rechecking I think.

Q: I have not been in oil for years but am reviewing the matter for diversification. But here we are with 2 wars going on , OPEC+ cutting prices , Russia selling oil at discount , the world awash with oil and excess production, governments pushing green. Economists ( gotta love those guys ) were talking peak oil and $200.00 pbl. not that many years ago. So why should I want to buy a commodity with such lousy metrics ?

If I do take the plunge I’m looking at these 3 large caps. IMO has long been a well run company and I like to align myself with the American masters who keep on doing buybacks. CNQ is also shareholder friendly and well run. SU has a 100 years of reserves, an attractive retail operation but continual operational issues.

What is your view on oil long term and your favourite of these three ? Thanks. Derek

Q: What is your opinion on the prospects of Cenovus(CVE) and Ovintiv(OVV) over the next 5 and 10 years ? What are your thoughts on selling them (old stocks that could be sold for a tax loss) and replacing them, as a long-term hold, with some Brookfield stock (BN, BEP and/or BIP)? If you favor that, which Brookfield company would you recommend be given the greatest weight ? Or is it better to hold onto those oil and gas stocks for a while?

What is driving Aecon stock? It is ticking upwards slowly. I am thinking of keeping it for dividend and some upside.. Any thoughts please? Also, Ivanhoe Electric..

Sometimes it does not trade much on tsx and other times the values are different eventhough i take into account exchange rates. Thanks very much
