Investment Q&A

Q: If you were to make an investment in the natural gas production sector,which 4 companies would you consider?

Q: What should I do?....For some years, I have held TOU and SGY as energy sector positions in a well diversified balance portfolio. Both down 49% and 57%. Now wondering, is it time for me to take action to reduce or just sell all, given recent price movement up but not likely crude price going considerable higher than now, aka 70$. What say you?........Tom

Q: If LNG Canada project goes through which natural gas company will prosper.

Q: I just read your answer about PEY - "The stock performance of course has been brutal. We no longer see it as a need to own name."

I also own TOU and SGY, with stock performance being brutal, too! Do you see continuing to owning these 2 names?.......Tom

Q: 2 part question. 1. Listening to Nutell and Schacter on BNN and they are continually talking about the next cycle in energy and how a lot of the Cdn. Energy stocks have been beaten up and now is the time to buy these things and hold them for 3 or 4 years for significant gains. Acknowledge these guys are talking up their own books but do you agree with the thesis and if so, do you view more upside in natural gas or oil? 2. If you agree with the thesis, what do you think of the suggested companies? Also thinking on investing in a basket of 5 rather than an individual stock to lessen the risk. Do u agree? Thx

Q: Your top recommendation for an oil and gas producer in Canada from Tou,VII,Arx,Vet.
Looking for best growth recovery.

Q: I just noticed TOU is now paying a dividend. Could you give me your thoughts on this.

Q: Hello Team -
My understanding is that in a rising inflation environment, commodities tend to also generally rise. If we see a gradual increase inflation over the next 12-24 months would you expect to see the NTR and TOU stock prices also rise as a result?

Thanks.
Jim

Q: Comments on earnings please.

Q: I would like to replace TOU with another energy stock.
We already own Wcp and Pki. Could you help with suggestions in Can and/or US

Thank you

Q: Hi 5i team
Over the past few years I have been slowly rebalancing my portfolio to be more diversified. There are a few positions that the market has helped me rebalance. Tourmaline is the most prominent name. I am down 50% in this stock. The reasons I have held on to it are good management, good balance sheet, good assets, (a colder winter). The problems with the stock price is not in their execution but rather the business they are in. How does a stock owner decide if they want to keep a position, add to a position, or sell in an industry that my take some time to recover. I originally thought a cold winter would have been enough to bring it back but so far I am wrong. If it paid a dividend (and there was mention that they might start one) it would be less of a concern for me. So should I move my money?
Thank you
J

Q: Could you please explain the significance of the difference in Price/Cash flow and Price /Free Cash flow in general and then apply this spacifically to each of these three stocks
As well, where is the best place to get ifo on price /free cash flow on these and other stocks in Canada

Thankyou

Q: I was doing some research on Tourmaline and noticed that the CEO has on the plus side of 10 million shares, is there any way of finding out his cost per share?

Thanks

Q: Good Morning;

What do you feel is the best company for natural gas? Specifically, I am looking for a company with low debt, a dividend and a strong track history (good management).

I currently own a very small natural gas play (CQE) that is down 66%. I am seeking to move my remaining money into a company that will pay me to wait and provide an opportunity down the road to recoup my loss.

Q: Hi 5i,

From what I have read, one of the big advantages of TOU over other Canadian Nat. Gas companies is that it receives the NYMEX prices for a large percentage of its gas.

Can you tell me the % of NYMEX pricing to the AECO pricing?

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i:

Recently, Eric Nuttall suggested on BNN that TOU should be sold as its share price was going nowhere for a couple of years, due to excess supply and the lack of pipelines. Would you agree?

Q: WITH OIL SEEMING TO RECOVER SOME, MY CPG WILL LIKELY BE CALLED AWAY AT $ 12.00.
COULD YOU PROVIDE A FEW LAGERS IN THE OIL SPACE THAT MIGHT BE REPLACEMENTS AND ARE REASONABLE TO OWN. (have 1/2 positions in WCP & SGY )
THANKS

Q: Like most people, I'm down in the energy sector and not seeing much hope on the horizon. I hold VET, TOU and RRX. With VET I at least have a good dividend while I wait for a recovery but with TOU and RRX there is no dividend. Perhaps you think the other 2 will "bounce back" faster when there is a recovery and are worth holding anyway?

I'm inclined to keep 5% of my portfolio in energy but sell TOU and RRX and put the funds into VET or another dividend producing stock while I wait for the energy sector to recover. Does this seem like a good plan? Would having my energy funds in US companies be better?

If I do this change, do you have suggestions for Canadian or US dividend producing energy stocks? Thanks.

Q: Is there a company you can recomend for a natural gas producer that does not use fracking and Is a LNG producer better?

Q: Can you recommend a natural gas producer. Prefer in Canada and does not utilize fracking to extract the gas due to the negative views and risk of laws coming in to prevent it. As well a company that refines the natural gas and another that transports it. The best in each sector unless one does all three.
