Q: I'm looking to add some shares of PEY for more exposure to natgas with a good yield. The price has done quite well lately and I'm hesitant to buy in. I'm wondering if I should pick something else that's been a bit more beat up like BIR, or PNE. I'm a younger (39) long term investor living off of yield.

Q: DEAR 5-I:
Thanks for the information on Parex, however, there was a second part to the question. If I dispose of Parex because it is doubtful if the political situation will improve in the near term- what could you suggest for a replacement, CNQ-? already own a full position in Suncor, ARC, Baytex, Tourmaline, and TVE. How about Peyto?

Thanks, Ben

Q: BIPC has had a good run lately, do you see much more near term upside with the dividend tax credit changes? I’m thinking to switch into PEY for the greater yield and more upside once we get a change in federal gov. Also I like the ability to write some covered calls.

What are your thoughts on this trade, and do you have any insights on timing?

Q: I have only ENB in energy stocks and am looking to add a basket of stocks with at least a 5% dividend, but also looking for capital appreciation. With the dividend, I don't mind waiting for the appreciation. Do you see any red flags with any of these, and how would you make up a 5% position? Would you sub any other energy stock with a 5%+ dividend?

Q: I'm looking at PEY and FRU for dividend income, and possibly a little appreciation. Their recent price doesn't seem to be too effected by gas/oil prices going down -or are they perhaps offset by interest rates going down at the same time? Could you compare these; do you have a preference? How high a risk are they? What is a good entry point for both? Thanks!

Q: I own all three of these companies and I am doing quite well with all three. I am up 20% on BIR, 10% on PEY and way up on TOU as I bought it in the $5.00 range back in the depths of the oil and gas collapse. TOU represents 6% of my portfolio while PEY and BIR are about 1% each. I LOVE my dividends…….do I continue to hold all three or consolidate into TOU? After TOU’s takeover of CR, is one or both of BIR and PEY next?

Q: Hi there, may I please have your thoughts on PEY results?

What companies are you finding interesting right now, after their 2Q results?

Any companies unjustifiably being punished, with their shares being sold off currently, that you believe is not justified and will have a good bounce within the next six months or so? ie; seems like WELL results are being misunderstood...hmm

Thanks!

Q: What are your top 5 Canadian natural gas stocks in order of how you would buy based on total return expected in 2024? Would you buy all five at this time? If not, which would you buy?

Q: On Jan. 22 you wrote, "The 12-month payout ratio is 28%, and PEY is in good financial shape." On Feb. 14 you wrote, "BUT...its nine-month 2023 payout ratio was 101%. Its balance sheet is OK."

I am confused by these seemingly contradictory statements. Can you please clarify regarding the payout ratio and the health of the balance sheet?

It seems as if I am a bit of a sucker for high yields and have been burned by Birchcliff in 2023 (though still a holder), and do not want to suffer the same fate with my recent purchase of Peyto.

Thank you as always for your expertise.

Q: I own these energy stocks and some are on the plus side and others are on the losing side. I've been waiting for quite some time for the Chinese economy to take off, but it seems to go nowhere ? I would like to trim some of my holdings. Please place them in order of what you would keep down to some you would let go. Maybe you could code them as 10 being the best and 1 as being the worst. Thanks.
