Q: Just Energy has announced $1.40 earnings per share for the last quarter. This compares with $1.13 earnings per share for the previous quarter. No doubt it is carrying a heavy debt.
But with a 0.50 cent dividend, the yield is well over 10%
May I have your opinion please if JE might be a Buy here. Thanks

Q: Hi 5i Research,
I am in the process of copying your Balanced Equity Model Portfolio.
So far I have purchased 9 items, but before I go to far, I wonder if perhaps you have some suggestions for me how to go about it the best way ? Any tips and suggestion are appreciated. Thanks for your service and keep it up, I like it.

Q: General question on Patriot One Technologies. It seems to offer a better solution than more guns and strikes me as a company that could grow a lot on its own or be taken out for its technology. My online broker indicates that it is due to break out based on a continuation wedge pattern but I like the fundamental story too. Would you suggest this as a speculative buy/high risk buy or is it still way too early?

Q: You recently (April 20) described VET as good for growth and income. VET does have a steady dividend of ~6% so I would agree with the income thesis but where is the growth? In the past five years, VET has not improved its stock price and its small dividend increases only covered the cost of living. In addition, in the past two years, its value has not responded to the increase in oil prices. Just how far back does one have to go to justify the 'growth' viewpoint?

Q: 11:11 AM 5/17/2018

Current yield on ENF at today's price [$29.41] is 7.6%. Enbridge yields 6.3% at the current price [$42.41].

I am trying to find an acceptable alternative company to ENF to invest in that would have a comparable yield and have the same level of business quality, Market Cap, and reliability of dividend.

IPL, ALA, GEI, RNW, CHW, TF, SRV.UN, KPT, JE, KWH.UN, CHE.UN all have similar dividends but are hardly equivalent in quality. Would you pick any of these?

I cannot find any acceptable substitute of the same quality so I would appreciate your suggestions in ANY sector that you would choose.

Maybe just taking ENB shares is the best choice?

Thank you............ Paul K

Q: I hold 1000 ENF shares and if the deal goes through they will convert to a 0.7029 share of ENB. I would then own a total of total 703 ENB shares. The price of ENB today is $42.28 which means I would hold a value of $29,723 in ENB if the deal goes through. If the price of ENB goes up lets say to $45.00, do I still receive 0.7029 shares of ENB for each ENF share I hold and would then have an ENB value of $31,633 and therefore making a profit of $1,910 from today if I sold it, in this scenario?

Q: PHO announced that they are looking to get approval to list on the TSX "very soon". Once listed on the TSX will the share rise because all of the ETF will have to buy into the stock or will that be accounted for in the listing and will not impact the share price? Also with $3M buyback this should indicate that management thinks the share is currently undervalued.

thanks
Sal
