Q: Tourmaline has been on a slide recently. I am looking for a bounce and will be selling my position and would have thought the excessive heat in the US and parts of Canada would have supported the price of Nat Gas and thus Tou. That hasn’t happened.
Could you provide your opinion on the short term, 3-6 months, price of Nat Gas and Tourmaline’s stock price?

Q: What is the path forward for CLS . Still a buy or wait for earnings to come out? Would like your opinion on the big drop in natural gas prices? Thank you.

Q: I am retired and in an income based RRSP your thoughts on switching ARC, SUNCOR and TOPAZ to the higher yielding EMAX and or ENCC

Q: I am underweight in resources, thinking TVE or WCP...your thoughts on which of these two and perhaps a couple of US midcaps recc...thank you for all that you do.

Q: I currently own SPB in a lost position and wondered if you would add to it or would prefer to sell SPB and buy CNQ? This is for a RRSP account.

Thanks

Q: Hi, I am down quite bit on this one. What is your favourite midcap at this time to replace it with. Thanks and Greetings, Peter.

Q: I have a research report for North American O&G producers, large or SMID. It includes the following ‘scatter plot’ graphs.

• EV/EBITDA vs 2025E Levered FCF Yield
• EV/EBITDA vs 2025E D/CF
• EV/EBITDA vs 2025E ROCE
• 2025 CFPS vs Strip & Consensus

How would you rank or use these graphs to evaluate a company ? Thanks.

Q: Arx. Has been weak since mid April..thoughts?

Q: What is the estimated cash flow for 2024, in CDN?
Is the recent departure of an executive all that significant?
This one has really been drifting lower.

Q: Electrification seems to be a big theme going forward. Can you suggest some companies, large and small cap, and any utilities that stand to benefit the most from this . I would assume Hammond would be a beneficiary.

Q: I have a variety of questions about WCP. First, of course one cannot complain about its very healthy dividend but the share price has languished for quite some time. Can you offer any insight as to why the share price is not pushed higher given the attractive yield?

Second, many commentators refer to O & G companies enjoying substantial cash flows, that many companies are paying down debt at a rapid rate, and that once paid down the companies will return surplus to shareholders in one form or another. What is the state of WCP’s balance sheet in this regard....do they have much debt? Is it being paid down at a rapid rate or does the dividend use up a lot of its cash flow? And if they are paying down debt, when will it be done and what do you think they might do with surplus cash, given its already healthy dividend?

Third, last week there was a headline about WCP doing a sale of part of an asset with Pembina, but it seems most of the sale proceeds were going to a Pembina subsidiary to further the operations of the asset. Is that correct, or can you discern exactly what is going on? And regardless, what does this transaction mean to WCP’s prospects going forward?

One company but lots of different issues. Many thanks for your excellent service.

Q: Does PKI have any corporate stake holders who might have an interest in increasing their stake or possibly of acquiring one of its assets? It appears to keep tripping over itself. Your tho'ts. on what has been bumpy ride for over four years, Thanks for your continuing help, Bill

Q: With LNG ports being built in British Columbia, could you suggest a few producing LNG companies and a few pipe line companies that will benifit from these ports? Also any timelines when these ports will be in service and what companies own and will benifit from these ports?

Thanks and love your service and help.
