Investment Q&A

Q: Hi 5i
I hold these names in my RIF, and they have all done well, both of late and over time. ENB now constitutes 21.5% of my RIF investments, SU 15% and KEY 12%, meaning the three of them now sit at 48.5% of my RIF investments. My yield on cost for each is ENB - 6.8%, SU - 4.9% and KEY - 7.3% and I appreciate the income from each.
The balance of my invested RIF holds 32% in CDN banks, 10% in tech ETF's with good yields (HTA and TXF.B) and 10% in a few miscellaneous names.
Understanding that you do not offer advice about specific portfolios, would you consider it wise to offload 1/2 of my ENB, SU and KEY (or some combination thereof) to realize my gains and mitigate the risk of falling energy prices once Hormuz opens.
If so what 3-5 names would you recommend investing in with the proceeds, for diversification, safety, yield and long-term capital appreciation at this time?
Thank you,
Peter

Q: I'd like to increase my oil exposure and currently have positions in SU, ENB and TVE. Which companies do you think offer the best current opportunities for dividends and growth, at this time? Thanks

Q: My broker lists 14 analysts following SOBO. Why is it that all five analysts who recommend SELLING this stock are based in USA. None of the Canadian analysts recommend selling this stock.
I will also appreciate your insight for SOBO. Sell,hold or buy. I am a conservative dividend investor.
Thank you

Q: Hello Peter,

Even if you have consistently maintained not to buy a stock in the hope of a takeover; I am tempted to dabble in the Canadian energy sector. The three mentioned here were your suggestions as a response to a query yesterday. I am considering all of them
My question-- would you not invest in anyone of the lot with the assumption that they are not takeover target?
Regards.

Q: Peter; Would CVE be a possible takeover by US majors? Is the share structure amenable to a budd? Thanks.

Q: I bought Suncor for $25 per share during COVID and have been well rewarded. I believe that oil prices in 6-12 months will be considerably lower, but I am aware that there are no guarantees.

Oil sits at $105USD according to my broker's home screen. If we rotate to $80USD oil over 6-12 months I would expect share price attrition for Suncor. I want to capitalize on the current desirability of all oil & gas stocks. Would you advocate for slow selling into current strength? How long might the current extreme revenues buoy the share price?

Any thoughts appreciated!

Q: Hi Team,
What's your take on WCP earnings? Revenue, production looked record to me. However, it looks like net income was hit due to a non-cash charge related to the acquisition. Were analysts not expecting this charge? Also, as a general question if analysts did not expect this...why not? I know I have seen this many times and it always makes me scratch my head why accounting like this would not be communicated to analysts prior to earnings releases.

Q: Hello 5i team:

What was your viewpoint of the earnings last night? Stated earnings were on $0.02 per share. Was below estimates but was it lower due to paying down debt? Is it still a HOLD?

Thanks
Brendan

Q: NG International (GASX). Can you give me an in depth update and outlook for this company? Thank you.

Q: Kel is up 20% in the past few trading sessions and HME is up 16%. I like them both but feel they have really had hyperbolic moves lately.

If you were going to open positions in these 2 energy plays would you wait or buy at current market.

If wait, at what price?

Q: Now that Shell have snapped up ARX what are all the remaining Canadian companies with big gas and liquids reserves in the Montnery Formation? I am looking for large reserves, strong and growing dividends and a track record of good management. Which would you invest in?
Thanks...... Paul K

Q: I am holding ARX in an unregulated account. Should I take my profit now or wait for the details of the transaction to come out so that I can see if there is any tax benefit for the transaction?

Q: Comments on cpx latest quarter. thanks

Q: While I am sure Mr. Nuttall will have some interesting insight into today’s news that the UAE is withdrawing from OPEC, I would appreciate your thoughts. First, is this something short term, and the UAE rejoins after the Iran crisis, or can we now expect an upheaval in OPEC and its membership? Articles suggest this will result in a lowering of oil prices in the medium term if the UAE remains out….your thoughts?

Thanks as always,

Dave

Q: with the takeover of Arc by shell, I am wondering if other Montney operations become targets. How would you rate these three or are there others you could mention?

Q: How transformative is Akita's integration of Paramount Ressources and the end of the dual share classes? Would you be a buyer here? I hold near 4% in my portfolio, should I trim or hold?

Q: Your thoughts please on the Enbridge news with the new pipeline?

Thx

Q: Hello Peter
one of the speakers on BNN made Key his past pick and has done well
he seems to prefer Key.ca over some of the Cdn pipelines like ENB TRP and PPL
Keyera has out performed the above pipelines in the last year or so
should I start a partial position in Keyera or add to my pipelines with any pullback, thank you

Q: Hello 5iTeam,
I sold the only energy stock (ARX) that I had in my
portfolio after it was announced that it has been acquired by Shell. Would you please recommend a Cdn stock (or stocks) to replace ARX.
Cheers,
H

Q: Sorry for the " subquestions" but all are related to the same stock + the same % of energy investments..What is the best option in my RRSP ? 1) sell now 2) wait for the Shell acquisition and then : a) keep the cash + Shell stocks or b) Sell Shell stocks in order to buy an equivalent US large oil Cie for nontaxable dividends ( XOM ? etc..).
