Q: I'm looking for some ways to invest in hydrogen as an alternative fuel source. I would like to invest in some companies that one could consider to be the "best of the best" in the business. In other words, they produce "green hydrogen' but also are solid financially. I'm hoping they would also be reasonable buys at their current prices. I would appreciate both Canadian and global companies if possible. One last thing, if it's too early to be investing in this new fuel, I'm prepared to wait for the appropriate time.
Thanks as always for your valuable opinion.

Q: Hi 5i
Years ago I made a pant load on Stelco warrants. The CVE warrants expire end of 2025 and allow you to buy CVE share for 6.54. I expect some time in the next 4 years oil will run up so would these warrants be a good way to profit from it?
Are there any other warrants you suggest?

Q: Re: IPl takeover. I already have a full position in Pembina ,and am ,at this point quite reluctant to trigger any capital gain. In looking at both offers, it seems that the Brookfield offer could be the best for me. Is there anything that I might be missing ? Thank you for your help.

Q: In my self directed margin account I have two calls:
1)50 calls of CPG C 21 JAN22, $3.00 that I paid .61c.
2)75 calls of CPG C 21 JAN 22, $4.00 that I paid .81c.
These calls don't expire till January and I have lots of room in my account to either cover them with margin, or sell another stock to cover, or sell the Calls outright. Of the choices listed, or something I am missing, is there any strategy to maximize my capital gains and/or minimize my taxes owing?
Thank you, Gord

Q: I have heard that one of the things that is a strong indicator a stock will outperform the market is the initiation of a dividend for the 1st time. I believe it may have been Peter who mentioned this on MarketCall. Parex announced Wednesday evening that they are initiating a dividend for the 1st time. I'm wondering what degree of outperformance you typically see from a company that begins paying a dividend, and how long does that outperformance typically last.

Q: I keep an occasional eye on Twin Butte (TBE), now delisted, bankrupt, and a bad memory. There continues to be occasional OTC trades in this company.

The last time I asked about it you thought that they could be the closing of short positions, or speculators hoping to derive some value.

On July 8 100,000 shares were traded at $0.003. $300 may not be much in stock trade terms, but it would buy a lot of beer and pizza.

Who would pay $300 for shares in this company? Is there some residual value that may be languishing?

Maybe I should trade my last shares for a couple of slices.

Q: I have heard we can expect to pay more to fill up at the pumps. Are you more bullish on oil or gasoline? If you are more bullish on gas oriented companies, what companies would you recommend?

Q: Good Morning.
I have some shares in these US pipelines, as well as ENB.
With WMB being a limited partnership - what will the tax consequences be with CRA in relation to their dividend payments?
Thank you.

Thank you as always for the excellent service!
