Q: Hi, Could you please compare the two companies with respect to nature of their business, safety, income and growth prospects. I know, Enbridge also has a utility like natural gas delivery business to residential/businesses, not sure of TRP. Could you also comment on their historical stock performance, relative to each other. Do you think one is better than the other? We own ENB for many years and are considering to add TRP to our portfolio for income and growth, for 10-20 years. Thank You

Q: Hi, What's your opinion on TC Energy, for income and some growth, and with a bias to indirectly benefit from Oil and Natural Gas prices ? TRC recently acquired an interest in a Mexican pipeline and stock had an overhang due to a large equity issue, which seems to be slowly dissipating now. Stock has nice dividend yield of over 5.5% and analysts generally appear to be positive, on the stock, specially after the new acquisition. How is the current valuation and do you believe that debt is manageable? Is it a decent buy at current level - $65 - $65.50 ? Thanks

Q: Hello,
Would like your opinion on the proposed merger of TGL and VAALCO Energy. As a current holder of TGL, I'm wondering what I should do? I've done quite well with this company and it pays an attractive dividend. Would you sell at this point, or have your shares converted to VAALCO... if in fact the merger does take place.
Appreciate your input. Thank you,
Tom

Q: Hi 5i
I own both TVE and WCP and have done OK with each. However, except from what might be available from those two holdings I don't have any exposure to natural gas, a commodity that is getting lots of attention these days. To remedy that, I'm considering parting ways with TVE and hooking up with BIR.
In your opinion, is natural gas production worthy of pursuit at present and, if so:
(1) is BIR a good vehicle for that pursuit and
(2) on strictly a growth basis would you expect BIR to outperform TVE over the next year or so, and why or why not?
Thanks and I look forward to your response.

Q: Hi 5i

I have too many stocks and am starting to pare back. I have these five stocks in Energy. Which two would you sell? To which stock(s )would you add the cash from the sale.

Thanks for the excellent advice. It is so comforting to have 5i to ask questions of. It is hard to be objective sometimes when it is your own portfolio.

Q: Hello 5i, I read an article in the Edmonton Journal Aug 17/22 by Chris Varcoe titled Alberta Left out as Natural Gas Demand soars. In my opinion Canada has mainly one customer for its oil which is the US which since oil was discovered in Canada have been buying Canadian oil for half price of the world market price per barrel. Could you explain what is the discrepancy of what US companies get for there natural gas as well as world price and what Canadian natural Gas producers receive and why.

Q: Hi, we have energy sector exposure through, CNQ,SU,TOU and ENB. There are several reasons for owning the sector through CDN companies, primarily for Dividend Tax credit in the Non Regd accounts and also their relatively lower risk profile and size. We have not invested in US Oil, and Gas/Pipeline companies, except a small holding in XLE.

CNBC guests/traders, frequently recommend the US companies listed in the question and it appears that all these stocks are doing well. ( OXY - with 20% ownership with Warren Buffet }. My question is that, in Canada, do we have Energy companies with similar product/business profiles to these US names. And, if so, for a Balanced 5i Portfolio risk profile investor, is the sector well represented with these four CDN companies ? Current Portfolio Weight: CNQ/SU/TOU: 9% ENB:6% Total-15%.

Thank You
