Investment Q&A

Q: Using only the metric of growth,which do you think has the best growth profile for the next year and why? Thank you.

Q: It appears that natural gas is the coming into favor over oil in Western canada. ie power plants in Alta and the lng pipeline to Kitimat. Your thoughts on the stocks that will have upside in this sector. Arx, bir, aav, key, tou, aav, come to mind. Your thoughts

Q: On the supply side, dry gas prices are low and drilling activity has been scaled way back (storage is full to the brim).

On the demand side, the potential for a cold winter on the coasts, increased adoption of EV, conversion of coal to gas, vaccine driven Covid economic recovery, etc.

It looks like there's potential for a pinch in the market on the price of gas. If that was the case (I'd like to hear your thoughts on that), what companies would see the most positive response in share price?

Q: Hello,

I am still sitting on cash... I wish I had more aggressively deployed prior to the election.
q1) I am wondering what would be your favourite names to add new money to or would you recommend waiting for a pull back from the recent highs?

q2) My thoughts was to pick up best in breed nat gas exposure in tourmaline or topaz. Which would you prefer for growth and why? Or is there another name your prefer?

Q: I have losses on ERF and ARX, thinking of switching them to one or combination of CNE, SU and TOU or any suggestion you may have for less risk and better recovery. Your opinion please. Thanks

Q: I am looking for the 10 year share price history of this stock. could not find it anywhere. my ACB shows $ 70 plus, was it that high ?

Q: Would you comment on the merits of holding TPZ vs TOU (or both)? Or do you have a preferred alternative?

Q: I have no oil/gas stocks and would like to add one. Which of these (or other) would you recommend and please indicate why. For a 67 year old with an otherwise balanced portfolio. Thanks again for your experience and sound advise.

Q: Good morning and thank you again and again and again for your precious enlighted comments. In the context of the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm currently underweight in Basic materials (own 3 gold miners) Energy (own key and tou) Helathcare (own veev and gud) Real estate (own dir) Where would you add first and would you please add suggestions as to how to complete my weithings.

Thanks as always.

Q: Hi Guys,

I'm starting to get interested in the energy sector for more of a long term hold. The sector has been crushed but I don't believe the world is going to abandon oil and gas any time soon. Looking for a producer that pays a dividend, so I can get a return while I wait. What companies would you guys suggest?

Q: Can you comment on Tourmalines acquisitions and is it a buy right now?

Q: I have both in my RRIF. BIR has moved very well last 2 weeks and I am making small amount of money. Still down with TOU . Should I keep both for time being, have held them for quite a while. I could put the money in another stock, or top up TOU for dividend.With topaz starting maybe TOU would increase DIV sometime in future. Tks for helping in past

Q: Looking for growth in eventual energy recovery. Would you pick one over the other or both?
Is there similar but better, that I may have missed?

Q: Down 70% with PSI in a LIRA. Thinking of selling PSI and using the proceeds to buy TOU. Is TOU a good choice? Thank you.

Q: Please give your best guesstimate for oil and gas companies that can continue their current dividend at $30 or more a Barrel and current natural gas prices
thank you

Q: Please take as many question credits
you need to fully answer this. I would like growth and reasonably safe stocks. I have losses in all of these; should I sell and take the loss? Hold as they are likely to recover in next 6--12 months? Thanks. Helen

Q: Please rate the above for survival and continued Div. payout in the next 5 years, based on cash- flow that well covers the dividend . I am a senior and need income. I have a position in all the above and would like a rating best first. Please insert your suggestions for the above criteria.
thanks
Yossi

Q: What area your thoughts on the upcoming IPO that Tourmaline is doing on Topaz energy. Topaz estimates that upwards of 90% of cash flow will be distributed as dividends. Would this be a good dividend play or is this very speculative ?
Don

Q: Tou & Topaz deal announced. Would it be beneficial to own both stocks or will TOU still derive income from topaz.

Q: 1. what is your 1-2yr prospect for natural gas price?
2. what are your top 5 suggestions for Canadian publicly listed companies that are pure conventional natural gas plays?

my reasoning for conventional natural gas is we can't rely on unreliable and difficult to store 'green energy' to supply all our needs and there is much less by-product natural gas from fracking for oil. As well, liquid natural gas imports into Canada/US from other countries results in a loss during compression/decompression stage along with difficult transport in specialized tankers - it makes more sense to produce in North America for local consumption doesn't it?

A related queston is what do you speculate the price of natural gas will be for the next 1-5 years?
