Q: Greetings 5i team.

In looking at Q's archives, I do not see a question that required a review of current state of affairs.
May I please have your retroactive views on SCL's Aug/21 results and outlook? Please also include the earnings estimates coming up in Nov/21 and advise if you see value in the equity of SCL.

Many thanks for your assessment.

Q: Dear 5i team.

I am considering a switch from CPX to NPI and wanted to know your views on these two matched head to head. Is there a better alternative to switch to in the same space?


Many thanks.

Q: Hello 5i:
I am thinking of replacing AQN in my TFSA as I feel the company has become stagnate lately and I have a 50% profit from owning it since 2014. I have been thinking AQN and buying either PPL or TRP.
Can you rate which pipeline you like best and why? Or, would you stay with AQN?

Q: Thanks for the wonderful service. I owe Antero Midstream. It has recovered quite a bit I am still down about 6%. My other Oil stocks are even worst hit with Suncor down 27% and VET 42%. These are the only holding in Oil. Are we near the top of the hill on Oil prices. Should I cut the loss on AM or is there still room to run. If I cut the loss can you provide any suggestion to play the Oil or stay away for now. Holding period is not a constrain and everything is in registered account so no tax consequences

Q: Oil companies in Canada and globally over the last few years have suffered from low prices and now face the uncertainty of funding availability due to the climate change frenzy to choke off access to financial markets and to overall resistance to further expansion in production. In these circumstances it seems that many oil and gas companies will curtail further investment with the result that over time production will decline, perhaps at a faster rate than demand may decline. In effect they will become cash cows and pay out a greater part of cash flow to shareholders.
I was wondering whether you have done any research on this issue to get an idea of how this may play out and also the possibility that oil/gas prices may increase further and thereby increase fossil fuel company stock prices. Feel free to publish if you wish but not sure whether you might have addressed this issue already.

Q: Thank you for your sage advice over the last few years.

What would it take to move VET shares up a few more dollars? I realize the share has had a good run up over the last months, but at the same time, I believe they are still discounted. There seems to be real resistance at the $14 price level. Even with WTI crude at $83 today, the shares are in the red. Are there specific movers that I should be looking for, or, barring a miracle, is this the time to sell?

Q: Hello Folks:
Currently we hold energy sector stocks:
PXT, WCP, ARX, SES, CVX.
All these are having a good run except ARX.
Would you advise trading ARX for another energy stock such as TOU etc. Do you think I should hang on to ARX or make a trade for something else?
Thanks again for everything

Q: I was surprised by your response to Chris' question of Oct. 19. He asked you to rate 5 renewable energy stocks from least to highest risk and AQN was deemed most at risk.
(Your assessment from least to most at risk: NPI, BEPC, CPX, RNW, and AQN.) What is the source of the risk to AQN...and how likely do you believe this risk is likely to occur? Thank you.
