Q: Hi Peter and Team,
With the recent market turmoil and economic conditions expected for the next little while can you name 3-5 companies that you think would be absolute BUYs? Whether they are solid companies that have been brought down with the general market, or ones that can actually benefit from the current conditions.
Thanks,
Jordan

Q: Do you think that this becomes a better investment the lower the dollar goes? Or will the deterioration of purchasing power make even staycations out of reach for too many households?
Q: Hi Pete and Ryan,
Two questions on two different companies:
1. VSN - How are these guys funding their projects if all their cash flow is going to pay the dividend? It seems to me that a dividend cut is in order as they can't keep going like this forever. What do you think?
2. Capital Power - In light of Alberta's climate change policy, do you think Capital Power will be able to grow their power generation asset base such that the shutdown of their coal assets (in 2030) will be mitigated, if not immaterial altogether? Capital Power seems to have decent cash flow and upcoming projects underway, but I wonder how much this will impact them in 15 years time.
Thanks again,
Aaron

Q: BDI reduced their dividend from 8 cents to 5 cents a few months ago. Do you believe the 5 cents dividend is safe. I don't mind holding the stock for the long term if its dividend is safe.
Q: We depend on dividends for 50% of our income and now have full positions in BCE and T in our joint account. I would like your opinion on adding either SJR.B, which I prefer for the higher interest and monthly dividend, or RCI.B. I have several reits and AX, along with others, has dropped like a brick recently. Time to sell? - Ted

Q: your analysis of the results today please. Looks like the turnaround is going well, big increases in EBITDA and debt down significantly. Div increase also a good sign. what is the valuation like, sector compare? Takeover candidate?
Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan and 5i Team - I'm looking to add to my current position in Alta Gas (ALA). Can you provide your opinion on ALA with the objective of safe dividend and some slow steady growth as the sector recovers? In your previous response on Dec 24 you thought it was trading a bit high based on P/E but it has come down since then. Thanks again - John
Q: Good morning,
I am looking to find the relative exposure of the big 5 banks to the oil and gas sector. I understand that thus far that the effects of the downturn in the oil patch have been somewhat benign, but it would be helpful to know the potential relative effects of a protracted low oil price on the respective banks (ex National and Cdn Western) based on their exposure to the sector. As well, could you please pass along the bank that you feel is most insulated.
Thank you for your response,
Brad

Q: I hold Chartwell REIT and Chemtrade Logistics, 3% and 2.7% respectively. Am looking to add to either (or both?) in this market downturn, for income. What is a good weighting for these companies, and which is the most likely to withstand another barrage of sell-offs? (That is, which sector, which company, is likelier to do well in such an environment.) Thanks!

- should i sell rsi or still a long term hold for yield (i am down 15%). Reason : only to raise some cash.
- should i sell vln in this environement while i am even (3.5% allocation). Can you comment on valuation and outlook. I am ok to hold for 5 year if good company long term but thinking about raising some cash. Thank you
