Investment Q&A

Q: Hi,
I saw a Morningstar article in January about BEP, mentioning this:

Big picture: Management announced plans to address the widening relative premium of BEPC to BEP shares. The firm launched an at-the-market equity program for BEPC shares, which it plans to use to repurchase shares of BEP, given the outsize relative premium.

YTD both BEP.UN and BIP.UN ouperformed their counterparts, BEPC and BIPC. Would it be the reason?

Do you have any knowledge of this Brookfield’ plan. Thanks.

Q: Would you buy any of these oil stocks at present?
If so, is there one that you would prefer?
Might it be safer to invest in an ETF?
Thanks for your advice.

Q: Could you please provide your insights and opinion on this company especially after the recent release of its financial results?
Thanks,

Q: Which of these - if any - would you be interested in at these levels?

Q: I am trying to understand oil and gas pricing and how the war in Iran affects them. I get that oil prices will rise during these times. What I don't understand is (a) why local gas pump prices rose so soon (the gas in the ground at my local gas station was bought several weeks ago!); and (b) why does oil from the tar sands, for example, increase immediately in price when Suncor's customers, I believe, are largely in North America and therefore don't compete against Iranian oil? From a valuation point of view, is the price for oil and gas companies simply reflecting the windfall profits being made on both the sudden increase in prices and the subsequent profits that will be reaped, since prices never go down as fast as they go up? If the hostilities ended tomorrow, would you expect the share prices to drop by 30% or so, given how much they have increased since December?

Appreciate your insight (particularly on this complicated topic).

Q: I am wondering about your newfound enthusiasm for HME, and why this microcap is lately being recommended alongside stocks such as TOU, SU, CNQ and IMO. As recently as Jan. 29 in a reply to Thomas, your opinion was decidedly less positive about the stock and its prospects.
What has changed, that we should be taking a closer look at HME?

Q: With all the trouble around oil supply (again, sigh) would it be smart to put more reliance on renewables? Do you think now would be a good time to invest in renewable energy? What would be a couple of the best ways to do this?

Q: Peyto vs tourmaline how come peyto has done so much better than tourmaline pey up 71% in the last year compared to tou up 1.61%. every body recommends tou but peyto has done so much better.

Q: You increased the weight in the Income portfolio yet Ryan called it a hold on 05 March BNN? Just seeking clarity. Thanks

Q: Would you be comfortable adding today despite the current noise related to the energy sector? Would you have a recommendation on price for entry? Noticed weighting on this in your GRO portfolio is at 6.17%.
Thanks,
Dave

Q: Hi Guys,
you answered a question of mine the other day asking for suggestions for smaller cap O&G companies that might have greater upside potential than the larger mid and large cap producers.
you came back as follows:
HME, SGY, KEL, BTE, ATH in that order. Would that be your order of preference?
If not, could you rank.
Merci,
Ralph

Q: Good morning and thank you for your amazing insights these days .

Question regarding CNQ and BN. Two completely different sectors, but given the appreciation in CNQ in recent weeks, and the corresponding pressure in BN, I have been slowly taking some CNQ off and moving more into BN. Both are core holdings for me, but your conviction with BN is impressive and I just think it is foolish to not take small gains off the table and move more to BN on the view that this too shall pass - for both companies.

Crazy or a fair approach so long as measured?

Q: Good day,

Given FRU's most recent results, what are your thoughts, and is it a Buy, Sell, or Hold ?

Thanks,
Michael A.

Q: Is there a way to access AECO natural gas prices? I heard the only way was with a paid Bloomberg terminal. Thanks

Q: Is this a good time for Brookfield to takeover TA?

Q: Could you please list your top 5 Cdn oil stocks in order of preference. Thnks

Q: Hello Wonder Team at 5i. Could I ask your thoughts on Tenaz Energy, they seem to have gone straight up into earnings coinciding w Iran conflict. How did the earnings report look, would you be comfortable owning it here (around $55). What would be a reasonable price? Am I correct in assuming price is correlated to European Natural Gas Benchmark TTF prices? And a final "long shot" question - if the Ras Laffan Nat Gas facility in Qatar continues to suspend operations, will this bode well for the share price of Tenaz? Thank you for your thoughts and impressions on where the share price might be going next. Much appreciated. Gord

Q: Would 5I be comfortable buying oil stock at the present time.
Thanks in advance
Rick

Q: Hello 5i,
In light of current status with oil and gas markets and what now most likely will be prolonged high prices, could you suggest two or three junior or mid cap O&G producers that might currently have greater upside opportunity than the larger producers.
Thank you so much for so many years of very sage advise.
Ralph

Q: Hi,

Can you clear up a little confusion regarding the latest earnings report from Cardinal Energy? I scanned the 4th quarter earnings report and it indicates, at least to me that it indicates a diluted share loss of 18c. Yet on my TD investor site it shows a profit of 13c per share.

Am i seeing this right, and would you also be able to give your analysis of their earnings report?

Thanks so much.
