Investment Q&A

Q: Hi, how safe is the dividend on a scale of 1-10 whereby 10 is very safe. Do they carry debt that could some day impact the dividend as rates rise? Has the dividend ever been cut? Any reason why the dividend has not been raised for a few years? Lastly, do you see Keyera as a takeover target in the future. Many thanks as always for the great service that you provide.

Q: Retired, dividend-income investor. I own a full position in NNRG in my TFSA account.

I am looking to add an energy income ETF in my wife's Cash account. Because I am a huge Eric fan, I had naturally gravitated to NRGI, not even thinking there might be other alternatives to his income ETF. The question earlier today related to ENCC woke me up.

Could you please list some Energy Income ETFs that you think I should consider. I will then do some of my own research on each of your candidates. Is there one that stands out as head-and-shoulders above the rest?

NRGI is roughly 85% USA stocks. whereas ENCC appears to be very heavy (90%) to Canadian. Does this factor into the equation, related to income taxes and which type of account it should be placed in?

When overlaying ENCC and NRGI on your 6 month charts, they look virtually identical. ENCC has a 10% yield vs NRGI at 7%, although I suspect there will be special dividends in addition.

Your thoughts...thanks...Steve

Q: Hi
I have held SPB for a long time and my cost is $5.98 Over the years the stock has been more than paid for itself by the dividends.
It has been as high as $16.00 in the past year or so but now it is back below $10.00 again. It now yields over 7%. Is that out of line or even sustainable?
What could be the fundamental reason for this latest set-back? Winter is on it's way and global warming notwithstanding it will likely get colder.
They have continually been buying more assets and should that not make the shares more valuable?
Could I have your analyses please. H.

Q: What is your opinion of ENCC? Apart from the dividend is it a worthwhile investment at today’s price?

Q: What is your opinion about TRP? Why? How do you rate the three big pipeline companies in Canada? Thanks very much

Q: Hi 5i team,

Can you please comments on it's current valuation and which one has the most upside potential (Dividend+Cap appreciation)

thank you,

Q: Saw this company from the questions page. Took a quick look at their fundamentals. Wouldn't it have better served the company and investors to do a 10% share buyback then to announce a dividend. That would have retired 25 million shares.

Q: Falling knife? I'm guessing sometime in the next quarter, oil prices will rebound.
Is it worthwhile to begin accumulating at these levels and lower ? Thanks!

Q: goodmorning.what do you think about the sustainability of the div. thanks brian

Q: Is Cheniere unique enough to pay up here (with converting to the the so-high U$) or are there TSX alternatives you would recommend? Thanks!

Q: Hi,

There are not many Q&As on Paramount Resources.

I was speaking with a friend who works there and he said it's a good investment.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Robert

Q: Hi Peter,

Could you please rank your favourite few Cdn listed oil equities as of today?

If you were to hold two names, would you go with the top two or would you do something else (eg one blue chip and one smaller growth player)?

Charge questions as required. Many thanks!

Q: Could you please provide any comments on this very new ETF.
Does it have any characteristics of a good investment?
Thanks, Brian

Q: Gear Energy continues to fall and the yield is now a little over 10% (having introduced a dividend in May of this year). It strikes me as a good buy. What are your thoughts?

Q: Hi, Any comments, why NPI price dropped 2.65% Today, while most utilities were positive. Does it have something to do with price caps on power, announced in Europe ? Thanks

Q: Innergex seemed to be rolling along nicely until this week, then it suddenly dropped 5% on a day and is now down 10% on the week. Is there some news I haven't read or seen? I generally don't expect utilities to be this volatile. What do you think of INE?

Q: Are the risk profiles similar with CPX and BEPC? Which do you prefer to own or would you buy both for a combination of income and growth?

Thanks for your service?

Q: Is there a significant shareholder and what % of shares does he/she own? Your outlook on this company for the future

Q: I own Eric's NNRG etf...full position, as my proxy for the energy sector, all of it in my TFSA. There are also energy contributions held within CDZ, ZWC, RBF646 plus AQN, FTS, TRP.

I am considering adding a smaller position in NRGI (Eric's income etf) for my wife. She insists on having dividends as a make-up of any equity position. I see NRGI pays a roughly 7% dividend (paid monthly), it also utilizes a covered call strategy, and the outlook for oil looks very good (in my opinion) for the next several years. I am not sure if you have had a chance to watch Eric's latest Ninepoint presentation on Sept 21/22.

Q#1 = what are your initial thoughts on this newer ETF by Eric?

Q#2 = could you rank in which account would be best to purchase NRGI => RRSP vs TFSA vs Cash and why?

Q#3 = it is roughly 85% USA. Does that influence the account choice, due to the 15% dividend withholding tax?

Q#4 = could you consider adding NRGI to your data base, as well as NNRG...thanks.


Thanks for your help.... Steve

Q: I intend to add to above positions for the purpose of increasing my dividend income. Please give me your opinion on each of them. Do you have a favorite
