Q: Hi Peter and Team,

Can you please provide thoughts on investing in CES Energy Solutions CEU as a long term play on growth in volume in the energy sector rather than counting on just the commodity price like producers do?

They appear to be doing well, getting added to Dividend Aristocrat index in February but I see a bit of mixed signals in the comparison of cashflow and net income this year vs. last even though revenues are growing.

Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i Team,

Could I please get your current thoughts on the Canadian oil sector? If one doesn't currently have a position in the sector how would you view starting one today?

I'm thinking of starting a position in Oily for an income focused, non-registered account. Besides ENCC are there any alternatives you could point out to me that could be a good fit?

Thanks for the Great Service

Q: A response to Savalai's question on an ETF for US natural gas producers.

Eric Nuttal's (or Ninepoint Energy's) own ETF seems to fit the bill.

The ticker is NNRG.NE.

Q: Hello team,

Given the looming tensions in the Middle East, which Canadian or US oil company listed above will have the highest price potential if the United States attack Iran?

I would also like to hear your perspective on the probability of this event in the near future, the price of oil as a result, and any oil company which you would consider buying in advance.

Thank you as always!

Q: Do all Canadian oil producers receive the same WCS price - eg: Suncor (oil sands), Whitecap (non-oilsands)?

Q: Dear Peter et al:
Eric Nuttall on BNN Bloomberg today Wednesday Jan 21st chose US Natural Gas producers...all the three of his top picks!
With this mind I looked for an ETF that focuses on US Nat.Gas producers. LNGX came up. No questions on this ETF and the symbol isn't in your database. Too small and too new perhaps?

What's your take on this idea of US Nat.Gas being better than Canadian gas companies. Also your opinion on LNGX. Do you have any other suggestion for this play?
If I were to buy about 5 companies in Nat.Gas domain in the US, will I be able to match the returns of this ETF?

Many thanks.

Q: I notice for so many stocks that there is a huge increase in trading volume in the last 5 days or so of every third month. South Bow is a nice example. It trades about a million shares or less daily for most of the time then trades 3 to 5 million shares daily for the last 5 to 7 trading days in the months of March, June, September, December.. The pattern repeats every quarter.
Could you please explain this pattern for me.
Thank you Paul K.

Q: I have never received a vote on this offer. I trade out of TD Waterhouse. The Nuvista shares I own are in my Margin Account.
What are your comments about this takeover as it seems to me that the Nuvista shares are undervalued at $18.00 as shown by the increase in Ovintiv shares. Regards Gord

Q: I have held South Bow since its' early days, so have collected the nice dividend for almost 1.5 years, and also have some modest capital gains. It is basically a one-trick pony and seems bit weak lately and may be facing some perceived problems in the US. I am considering selling it and replacing it with Enbridge. Some questions:
1) do you see any problems with SOBO in general, and in particular with respect to Venezuela/US administration?
2) what is the payout percentage for both SOBO and ENB
3) what is the status of Enbridge line 5, what is the percentage of their product and revenue relating to line 5, and what will they do if Gov. Whitmer eventually wins to close it?
4) if it was you - continue to hold SOBO or make the switch?

Note this is held in an RSP, so there are no tax implications from a sale.

Thank-you

Q: I recently sold my Hydro holdings and replaced it with BEP.UN partly to help increase my dividend/income, this was done in a RRSP. Thoughts and a comparison of the two. Also can you comment on the recent announcement of issuing shares of BEPC to buy shares of BEP.UN it looks like BN are not happy with the current price spread of the two.

Q: Hello, I have these 3 pipeline cos plus BIPC and I would like to reduce these to 2 stocks (should be sufficient to cover the sector) among ENB, PPL and KEY. I want to keep BIPC. Which ones should I keep and why? I have held these 3 stocks for over 20 years and plan to hold 2 of these for at least another 5 years, possibly 10. Thanks
