Investment Q&A

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

Q: AQN was cut today from RBC top energy picks. Part of the reason is they feel the dividend will be cut because the payout ratio will exceed 100% in 2022 and 2023. In an earlier post you mentioned they have more than enough cash flow to cover their dividend (From that I concluded their payout ratio was well below 100%). Some financial writers have used earning when calculating the ratio, which is inaccurate, Is RBC doing the same? Find it hard to believe they would make that mistake. In your opinion is the ratio (at least for now) below 100%?

Q: Hi 5i,

In your answer to a question on December 1st, where it was about your interview with Kornel Szejber of Build Wealth Canada, you included in the list of stocks to buy and forget, Suncor stock. Was this a typo? Despite all its intrinsic qualities, SU is in such a cyclical and volatile sector, where companies have so little control over their destiny. If it wasn't a mistake, could you elaborate a bit on this choice?

And simply, does the recent decline of the stock make it a good entry point?


Thank you very much.

Q: Good Morning;

I own 500 shares of TOU. Because I bought them a couple years ago and trimmed as they rose, my dollar cost average on these shares is zero!! This position accounts for 24.5% of my portfolio, but is such a great holding that I am reluctant to sell any of it!!

I know it is a bad idea to become married to a holding, but with the dividend and special dividends this holding is providing, I am reaping approx 10% return this year!! How do I replace that kind of a return, and what would your advice be? Would you consider CWB as a good option for a new position (I own 225 shares of BNS as my only other bank holding.

Q: Hi, How significant is Tourmaline's 15 years long term Export Marketing contract with Cheniere Energy, announced last year, to supply 140,000 mmBtu of natural gas, per day through TC Energy pipeline, commencing January, 2023. It appears that TOU will benefit from international pricing for this business. Does the company also indirectly benefit from the tight and lucrative LNG market, where Cheniere, perhaps has a dominant position ? Thank You

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I own AQN and TRP for the very long term. I started buying AQN at $5.60 way back and I have trimmed for asset allocation targets on the way up.

I have cash available to add to both of these positions. When I look at the technicals, it looks to my amateur eyes that $49 and $56 respectively look to be good re-entry positions. Would you agree that adding is appropriate and at what levels would you add? Thanks...Steve

Q: I'm wondering about all sanctioned projects TRP has on the books ($30 billion worth I think).

Given the second round of cost overruns on the construction of the Coastal Link Pipeline, I expect actual costs to exceed the estimates used to FID these projects, probably also by significant amounts. Do you have any info on if each project will be re-assessed with a higher cost estimates to determine if they still meet their return on investment hurdle?
