Q: Hi, Please comment on TOU earnings. Also, is the stock a good buy at current levels, as a best positioned company for Nat Gas exposure and a no brainer with $$$ return to shareholders via quarterly special dividends of $1.50 - $2 for rest of 2022 and 2023, in addition to tight Nat Gas market with Russia situation ? Thanks

Thanks

Q: What are your updated thoughts on OBE? I have a partial position and planned to increase to a full position until their news release today. In such a strong oil and gas environment, why does a company need to commit to an 11.95% interest rate on 5 year notes. Am I missing something, OBE scores well on a number of metrics that I monitor so I thought they would be able to negotiate a better interest rate.

Q: Thanks to your wonderful Portfolio Tracking and Analysis, I know that Energy makes up 11.07 % of my portfolio. Your statistical recommendation is that energy should be 5 % of my personalized portfolio. In order of rate of return, I have Tourmaline Oil, Enbridge, Whitecap, Suncor, Athabasca and Tamarack Valley. I am more heavily weighted in Tourmaline and Enbridge but my question is twofold. Am I really overweight in energy at this time and if so other than trimming from my two big winners, which two or three companies would you eliminate to pare back closer to 5%? The proceeds would go to buying ATD.b and Loblaws. Thanks for this wonderful service.

Q: Eric Nutoil (pun intended) has a firm belief that oil companies will be buying back shares and or increasing dividends for shareholders for the foreseeable future. Apparently even at 70 dollar oil, they’re making money. Why is it then that at the slightest hiccup when oil goes down in value, the share prices plummet? Is it short sightedness for investors or what am I missing?? Thnks Dennis

Q: Hello,
In reading submitted questions and your answers about SU, TOU and even CNQ over the past little while, and seeing recent activities, I was wondering if you can provide the reasoning for having SU in the balanced portfolio as opposed to the other two. TOU in particular seems to be one of your favourite energy companies, albeit with a lower dividend. Thank you!

Q: i am negative on above 5 companies. Do you recommend I keep all 5 or should I sell all or some, resp. sell and replace with other companies in the sector, such as Whitecap, Parex, SU and others?

I am primarily looking for growth.

Alternatively to energy companies what are the best Canadian growth companies you recommend. Thanks. Klaus
