Q: Not a surprise: I am seeing news media reporters with income portfolios cutting Algonquin after their recent drop and dividend cut. It is also noteworthy that it has rallied.
Realizing that it apparently made some leadership decisions that weren’t ideal, its cash flow due rate increases was flagged as a major reason for the dividend cut.
Do you see that this continues to justify this drop or should it hopefully rectify itself when rates stabilize or drop again?

Q: Hi 5i,
Do you still favour LIFE over DHT.un? And what about holding both in a TFSA?
And what is your opinion of PPL? It never goes up? I also have ENB but they have the underwater pipeline issue. What would be alternatives?
Many thanks for your patience and great suggestions.
Connie

Q: Good afternoon,

I currently hold XLE in my US Non Registered account and am considering taking profits now and adding an equivalent amount of XEG in my Cdn Non Registered account.

Notwithstanding the capital gin tax implications, do you think that the Canadian Energy sector offers better potential returns than the US Energy sector should Oil prices go to $90 and above and if so what would be your best idea in the Canadian Energy sector?

Thank you.

Q: Thinking about selling Crew as I think natural gas will continue to be weak for a few quarters if not years. I'm hesitating because I wonder about the value of their tax pools to other firms. Are there any Canadian oil and gas firms that will be taxable in the near future that might look to acquire companies with large tax pools?

Q: What is your take on the OPEC+ output cut over the weekend...will this immediate positive reaction in company stock prices be sustainable...or better to fade this rally? If the cut is a new path higher for oil stocks, which do you prefer (Cdn or US)

Q: Early in the winter I bought some Keyera, but only got about half of what I had bid for. The price started to climb, so I just let the remainder of the bid expire. The price is now back down near my initial purchase, and I am debating whether to purchase the other half (I hold a 1% position, this would make it 2%). Could you comment on:
1) current guidance from management
2) debt levels, and how this compares to others in the industry
3) dividend payout percentage
4) do you consider it a "buy", and if so, buy now or wait a bit

Thank-you, Grant

Q: hi, in regards AQN Kentucky power transaction- the end of March is the end of comment period, with presumably a decision on whether or not this transaction will go through shortly after? do you have any sense as to this purchase going ahead, or not going ahead ( and AQN paying a penalty ). further, what do you think the potential upside could be with an announcement of the merger NOT going forward; and conversely what do you think the downside in AQN price could be if the merger does go ahead? cheers, chris

Q: If a series of events were to occur that would cause the long end of the yield curve to spike to 10%, how does this affect highly indebted companies such as ENB, TRP and BEP.UN ? What measures can they take to avoid bankruptcy in that scenario, and what would be your level of confidence that they could ?

As a 2nd part to this question, what are your top 5 Canadian dividend-paying stocks that would have balance sheets that one would not necessarily need to be concerned about ? i.e. durability under the above situation.

Q: Good morning,

I currently hold FRU in my TFSA account and it is down approx 30%.

Q1. What is your outlook at this time of FRU and would this be a good entry point to purchase some additional shares?

I wish to purchase an energy stock for my TFSA and GXE is one under consideration given the relative safety of its high dividend and growth prospect should the price of oil go higher.

Q2. What are your thoughts and outlook of GXE at this time and do you have a better recommendation for a new position in my TFSA?

Thank you and I'll await your sage advice.

Q: So, in comes the new Liberal budget. Lots of spending and increased deficits. Also, a huge emphasis on renewables. Where does this leave the oil and gas industry in Canada? Is this budget going to damage the industry or does the money it brings in to the federal government make it an essential contributor to the funds needed to pay for all the new spending outlined by the government. What will happen to Canadian energy companies as a result of this budget?
