Q: Hi 5i,

In your answer to a question on December 1st, where it was about your interview with Kornel Szejber of Build Wealth Canada, you included in the list of stocks to buy and forget, Suncor stock. Was this a typo? Despite all its intrinsic qualities, SU is in such a cyclical and volatile sector, where companies have so little control over their destiny. If it wasn't a mistake, could you elaborate a bit on this choice?

And simply, does the recent decline of the stock make it a good entry point?


Thank you very much.

Q: Good Morning;

I own 500 shares of TOU. Because I bought them a couple years ago and trimmed as they rose, my dollar cost average on these shares is zero!! This position accounts for 24.5% of my portfolio, but is such a great holding that I am reluctant to sell any of it!!

I know it is a bad idea to become married to a holding, but with the dividend and special dividends this holding is providing, I am reaping approx 10% return this year!! How do I replace that kind of a return, and what would your advice be? Would you consider CWB as a good option for a new position (I own 225 shares of BNS as my only other bank holding.

Q: Hi, How significant is Tourmaline's 15 years long term Export Marketing contract with Cheniere Energy, announced last year, to supply 140,000 mmBtu of natural gas, per day through TC Energy pipeline, commencing January, 2023. It appears that TOU will benefit from international pricing for this business. Does the company also indirectly benefit from the tight and lucrative LNG market, where Cheniere, perhaps has a dominant position ? Thank You

Q: hi again
I see a typo in my recent (yesterday) question on RCI.A
"finer line bailout" should read, "fiber line buildout". the thesis is that T and BCE have already built out most of their fiber lines and are thus a step or 2 ahead of RCI.A financially...
could you comment on this specifically too. thanks and sorry for the "auto-typo" via apple OS!

Q: Hi Guys
Can you explain why LTM Free cash flow shows Cash from Operations @ 551 million less Capital Expenditures 335.2 million equaling free cash flow of positive 216 million.
Why wouldn't it be : Cash from Op 551 million Less Cash from Investing -296.9 million, less cash from financing - 270.8 million for a negative free cash flow of about -15.8 million ?
Thanks Gord

Q: Hi 5i,

What’s your perspective on the Energy sector going into 2023? I’ve had big wins on all 3x stocks, and am trying to decide whether to trim positions in the face of a potential global recession.

Thank you!

Q: hi,
I currently own all 3, all with reasonable gains. I read recently that T and BCE have done most of their finer line bailouts, Rogers not so much. this tilts the tables significantly I assume towards T and BCE. I plan to sell Rogers, and add the proceeds to T and BCE. does this sound OK? and do you feel it is ok to have a 5% position in each of T and BCE now? cheers

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I own AQN and TRP for the very long term. I started buying AQN at $5.60 way back and I have trimmed for asset allocation targets on the way up.

I have cash available to add to both of these positions. When I look at the technicals, it looks to my amateur eyes that $49 and $56 respectively look to be good re-entry positions. Would you agree that adding is appropriate and at what levels would you add? Thanks...Steve

Q: Good morning. I watched your interview with Kornel Szejber from Build Wealth Canada. On it you discussed immunization which was most helpful. You also mentioned that you thought of CNR and CP as set it and forget it stocks. With that train of thought in mind which other canadian dividend stocks would you put in this same category? If I was to purchase 10 dividend stocks to take advantage of the dividend tax credit in my non registered acct which would be my main source of income which stocks should I consider.
Thanks
Victoria

Q: Hi 5i, other than a widely telegraphed interest rate rises from the Fed, what else is driving this company to new lows? All the talking heads don't like it for reasons like; it's still expensive; it makes investments below cost of capital. Any insight to this downtrend would be greatly appreciated. Thx.
