Investment Q&A

Q: I am considering purchasing BEP-UN. I already own AQN and BIP-UN. I have noticed that most of these renewable stocks have pulled back somewhat and I’m wondering if this would be a good time to pick up a renewable stock such as BEP-UN. what are your thoughts? Do you think that there might be one or two other better choices for renewables? Also this is for a TFSA so should I consider BEP instead?
Thank you for your always appreciated wisdom.

Q: If Line 3 was court-ordered to be shut down, what would the likelihood be that ENB would cut some of the dividend?
Thanks!

Q: I have held Enbridge for 10 plus years and done quite well with it
Given all the headwinds they are facing I'd be interested in your thoughts on continuing to hold
it.

Q: I currently own Eric's Mutual Fund (NPP314) and am considering switching to his ETF (NNRG). Just to understand the tracking differences, I monitored the daily movements on 3 days...May 26-28-31 (small sample, I know).
May 26 => NNRG = 0.91% vs NPP314 = 1.68%
May 28 => 1.70% vs 1.90%
May 31 => 4.93% vs 3.71%
Total all 3 days => 7.54% vs 7.29%

Can you please provide your understanding of the daily differences?
Also, is the May 31 difference, due to month-end adjustments?
The totals seems to make sense, due to the different MERs...agree?

Do you still agree it makes sense to move to NNRG (I can't find much information on the ETF in their website (or through RBC), except it is in their drop down box for options to buy, on the Ninepoint website. To me this implies that the holdings are identical)? There is only $1.1 Million in NNRG...is this an issue to be concerned about?

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: What would be the worst case scenario for Enbridge in line 3 had to be shut down, such as by the courts or even the President?

Thanks a lot for your views which are much appreciated.

Q: PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR OPINION ON THIS COMPANY

Q: Which would you rank higher for valuation and growth? Is there a large difference between valuation between these companies? Which is the better buy? Thanks

Q: Hello 5i Team
Using Nine Point Energy Fund as an example, when the company has three versions of a mutual fund (Series A, Series F and an ETF) how are the portfolios structured? Are the funds structured as three separate accounts (i.e. the portfolio manager purchases the same security in three separate accounts) or are the funds held in one common account (i.e. the portfolio manager purchases the a security in one account) and the returns/expenses calculated as proportional amounts?
Does either method have an impact on fees or the liquidity (using the example where the EFT version is smaller in value than the Series A or Series F) of the funds?
Thank you

Q: Hi,
Is it a good entry point with 5 year hold?

Thank you

Q: An analysts recently warned off on PPL. He cautioned that PPL using a reduction in dividends, might develop a planned but delayed refinery. Something along the lines of what IPL is doing with Heartland.
Would you trade all, some or any, of a long term and large percentage holding in PPL for TRP ?

Q: I am underweight the energy sector. I was planning to but TOU or CNQ for 5 year hold. Which would you recommend? Do you think investing in energy sector at this time is a good idea especially if one is underweight that sector?

Q: Now that energy stocks are recovering, what's your feelings on PSXP at this time?

Q: Is there a reason for the significant drop in price today? Is this a buying opportunity?

Q: What is the reason for the sudden drop in price of the stock? The financials seem good and everyone likes it, so why the drop?
Thank you.

Q: David Berman published an interesting article on the need for a massive new infrastructure to supply electricity for the green revolution that is forthcoming. A great way to play this is with utility stocks. Do you believe in his theory?....it seems to make sense. Could you comment? And what are a few good stocks that would benefit if this theory plays out as he sees it? Thanks Ron

Q: I hold Eric's Energy Fund (NPP314) in my TFSA and have averaged down multiple times in the past. I understood I was probably catching a falling knife, but I believed in his expertise and was also building a position. Now I am up roughly 20% and believe there is more room for his Fund to run. NPP314 represents about 40% of my energy exposure. Most of the balance is held within my ETF exposures (CDZ, ZWC, etc.).

With the recent creation of Eric's ETF (NNRG), what do you recommend? Should I wait until the ETF has been around for a while (like you recommend for other new ETFs) or should I just switch now? What are the Pros vs Cons (aside from the 2.5% vs 1.5% fee that I see in the May 18/21 question)? Will the holdings be identical? Could you please add NNRG to your data base...thanks.

Thanks for your help...Steve

Q: Parex news reports. in addition to mentioning the impressive buyback program, have been referring to Columbian riots that have been impacting its ability to distribute its product. I don't anticipate any big insights on Columbian politics but has Parex released any news that might indicate whether the recent declines are more opportunity than "imminent collapse"?

Q: I own this stock because they are the lowest cost gas producer in Canada and I always thought LNG was a no brainer and would get built in B.C. Today only one facility looks like it will be completed and gas seems a lot less attractive without the possibility of LNG. Is it time to move on although gas stocks still seem cheap? This is my only energy stock. THANKYOU

Q: Would consider this company as a bond replacement in a sleepy business with dividend growth potential?? Buy ????
