Investment Q&A

Q: Would now be a good time to invest in Natural Gas stocks? My thinking is that the commodity price is low, but demand should increase with increasing energy demands and the price in Canada should increase with the LNG terminal completing in 2025? Could you please support or crush my simple ideas. Thank you. Also, could you please offer some related stock or ETF ideas - either Canadian or American. Many thanks.

Q: Good day, what are your thoughts on the prospects for natural gas and what are your favourite US and CDN ways to play it?

Q: do you have an Ex divedend date for Devon Energy?

Q: Now that energy stocks are going out of favour, it's time to start looking at the what might be attractive from a valuation point. I'm looking for a US energy company (not XOM or CVX): what are your thoughts on DVN and PXD? Is one preferable or do you have another suggestion? Thanks.

Q: I am thinking of starting a position in an energy company. names that have my attention are Devon with its high dividend. Exxon I mentioned on CNBC a lot. An ETF ? Can you make some suggestions. I am Canadian and realize US dividends are taxed at 15 %.

Q: I have been able to top up my TFSA accounts and now find I am sitting on about 40K in USD. I am looking for growth, preferably with a dividend, in a well managed and reliable company, or companies. I'm overweight in Tech & Utilities, OK in Finance, low in Energy, underweight in Industrial. A quick look at the US sectors has given me the feeling that now isn't the time to start with Staples, Health Care or Utilities and that there seems to be caution with respect to Energy. Materials and possibly Industrials, which has puzzled me, as I would think China reopening and the US's infrastructure spending would have helped the last three sectors mentioned. I welcome your thoughts, and any suggestions, as they are usually very insightful!

Q: Hello 5i,
Could you do a brief comparison of the these companies pros and cons and which you would chose?
Thank you
Dave

Q: Looking for what top 3 oil & gas recommendations you would have. Growth and appreciation over the next 2-3 years.

Q: Hi, I am in the camp that fossil fuel industry will be a place to be in 2023. With that said do you feel it is better to be in a fund such as NNRG or XLE or to be in individual companies either CDN or US? If so, can you give a few with some good dividends that you would recommend to look at. Thanks

Q: What is going on with AAV and DVN recently. Both are dropping at a greater rate than other gas & oil stocks. Would you hold or sell? Would there be 2 or 3 others that might be more solid alternates?

Q: How does Devon Energy compare with CNQ?

Q: Hi,
I'd be very interested in your take on the earnings for DVN. The 13% drop seems excessive to me, however I expect there was something in the earnings that I missed, but rang alarm bells for others?
Thanks for your insightful work!
