Q: Hi Folks,
My understanding of Ai is that it requires or will require a lot of energy and storage. Am I correct in stating that? Can you provide me with a few names in each category that you feel would be a good buy today for a long term hold.
Thanks

Q: Hi,
NPI stock is down almost 10% today on the following news "NPI announced a CEO transition, with CEO Mike Crawley stepping down and chair of the board of directors John Brace moving into the role of interim CEO."

It seems that some investors are not happy with that move... Since it is supposed to be a "transition move" I do not understand the market reaction that seems exagerated...

First question: Am I missing something?


Second question: With what we know now at what price would you feel that NPI is a real bargain?


Thank you

Michel

Q: I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with PIF. As a utility, I understand that higher rates have likely hurt the stock to some extent, but it’s approaching COVID lows. My understanding is that its dividend is only 33% of 2023 cash flow, so no worries there. Yes, its biggest asset is in Nicaragua, but that has not changed (it’s actually less exposed to jurisdictional risk risk as it builds out projects in other jurisdictions). Is there something I am missing?

Q: Hi. I am trying to figure out how meaningful reported FFO numbers are for a company like Brookfield Renewable. When Brookfield invests in a solar panel project there is a large upfront cost that produces cash flow for a fixed period of time. If the solar panel project has a lifespan of 30 years, the FFO numbers would presumably be similar in year 1 versus year 29. However, the value of the asset would be much lower in year 29 than year 1. When looking at cash flow for a company like Brookfield how do you account for the finite lifespan of some of their investments?

Q: I read a piece In the G&M by Rosie on the weekend re: nuclear energy as a potential outperformer. It mentioned the above firms as potential investments. I did a little homework and of the Cdn firms, the only 1's I thought worth investing in were the ETF and ATRL. I was unfamiliar with the U.S. firms . Can you shed some light on them please? I do have positions in Hammond Power, SMCI & Vertiv, which I'm pleased with and am thinking of adding to. Thanks for any light you can shed on this for me to enhance an informed decision.

Q: At what price would Canadian Utilities be a good point to buy the stock for dividend income? If there are better companies in the utilities market, please comment on that. I am looking for a company with good dividend prospects for the next 5 years.

And is CU a good bet for capital growth in the next 5 years? If not, what are better options?

Thank you for your valuable input and have a great day!

Q: I have a ~1% position in ERF (Enerplus), in an RSP, which looks to be taken over by Chord (CHRD). Most of the ERF proceeds would be in CHRD shares (a company I don't know much about), with only a relatively small amount of cash received. Meantime, my portfolio is currently ~8.5% oil & gas (SU, CVE, TOU, IMO, CPG, etc.) but only ~3% "chips" exposed (CHPS.to, MSFT). From your perspective, what do you think of selling some (or all) ERF now, so as to buy something like ASML?

Q: HELLO PETER AND COLLEAGUES,

Five years ago I was willed a (small) number of shares in Suncor, which seems to have gone through some ups and downs the last few years (more downs than ups when it comes to CEO's replacements and other issues...) but seems to have stabilized somehow lately. Notwithstanding, do you consider CNQ a better run corp with a better chance of success, and should I, for the intermediate time when owning shares in an old fashion energy business still makes some sense, switch my SU position to an equivalent CNQ one? Thank you.
