Investment Q&A

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

Q: Hello 5i,

I only have enough cash for one position. Which of SU or GIL would you pick up first?

Or would you wait for the dust to settle. I will be purchasing both eventually once I dispose of other holdings.

In order of preference please.

Thanks,

KC

Q: I have not ventured back in to the gas/oil sector yet but thinking of doing so. Do you prefer services or producers at this point? For producers, do you prefer gas or oil or a mix? Could you give me a couple of your favourite names that you suggest I consider for getting back into the sector? I have a long time frame, medium tolerance for risk and like growth. Thank you for all your help.

Q: 7:42 AM 3/25/2019
I am looking to invest in 10 or 12 of these companies for a very long time: RY, CM, BNS, CNR, SU, CNQ, NTR, ET, NWC, FTS, EMA, NPI, AQN, BIP.UN, BEP.U, ENB, TRP, PPL.

I am concerned to select companies with the highest probability of surviving a severe recession intact while continuing to sustain or increase dividends over the next 10+ years.

I fear some may have too much debt or other "hidden" problems to survive a major downturn so could you please comment on debt levels and vulnerability.

Could you please arrange them in order of "security of income", safest first, and maybe single out any weak ones. I am not overly concerned about future price fluctuations as long as dividends can be sustained.

I quite realize these are not the same as government bonds and do not have the same levels of safety. I intend to hold them purely for rising income with no intention of selling.
Thank you............. Paul K

Q: What would be your top 5 stocks to purchase today in the Energy sector? CDN or US. (You guys are the best)

Q: Own VET, down 35% a pure gas/oil producer.
Own SU you describe as a TOTAL Energy investment.
Should I sell my VET at 35% loss and buy SU or add new money to VET and earn 8.15% on it, Raymond James forecast VET 12 month target at 41.00 ???
Your educated guess?

Q: Do you have an opinion about buying either of these at this time? Based on the company numbers you post here, the div yield is about the same but P/E is a bit lower on CNQ. Does the fact that SU is more vertically integrated help or hinder with future corp/stock growth? Do you see either co having a stronger financial position?
I wouldn't mind some capital appreciation but the yields are attractive and I'm thinking that the div is safe with both cos. To me, neither co likely has big upside but they both seem to trade in a somewhat narrow range and given current yields and where the prices are, is either a better buy now or would you hold off for lower prices yet?
Thanks

Q: I own all of the above in roughly equal weights in my TFSA. I am attempting to replicate your Balanced Equity Portfolio. I am also trying to get more defensive. I think I am overweight in the Info Tech sector. I am looking at a 5 year hold. I have cash to buy another position. What would your advice be - hold the cash or make a purchase. If purchase what would be your recommendation for defensive position?

Thanks for your help.

Q: I see you sold WCP in favour of SU. I am down substantially on both VET & WCP. If I am moving the remnants of WCP to SU should I do the same with VET?
