Investment Q&A

Q: Aqn had a significant bounce last week on what seems like a preview to their official earnings release in early June. Can you expand?

Q: How are things at PXT these days ? Production set for a rebound ? Political situation any better ?
Any other thoughts ? Thanks. Derek

Q: I want to increase my energy holdings in the current market. Currently ENCC’s yield is around 14% due to selling covered calls. How do you anticipate that it will fare in the next few years?
Thank you for your excellent service.

Q: Do you have any information as to why, as indicated on my trading account with TDW, trading on NNRG has been halted?

Q: Your thoughts please on the quarter?

Thx

Q: what do you think of recent results, are they good buys at these levels thanks

Q: Hi Peter, I have introduced some exposure in my portfolio to Maxim. I like the small cap exposure to power and electricity. The balance sheet looks pristine. Can you give me your thoughts on the latest quarter.
Thank you

Q: Hi, are BEP.UN and BEP are same stock? Do you have a preference? Is it best to purchase in a non reg or reg account? Thank you.

Q: What do you think of their report?

Anything to explain such a drop?

Q: 2nd largest holding in my portfolio. What did you think of their earnings?

Q: Back in September 2024, I had asked whether it might be a good idea to rotate from ENB to a producer like CNQ/CVE. 5i's response as the time was that it was not a fan of "fixing' things that are not broken".

This has so far been good call because ENB has faired well while the producers are hitting new lows.

My question is: at what point does the risk/reward become such that rotating into the producers make sense?

Q: Thoughts on Tourmaline 1st quarter earnings?

Q: I currently own ENB (full position), SU and WMB in my RRIF. I am thinking I would like to increase my dividend income to help meet my annual withdrawal. I am trying to decide whether to sell WMB and buy more SU (more dividend income); sell WMB and replace it with CNQ (dividend bump and retain diversification) or stay the course and sell some shares if needed. I would appreciate your opinion which could include an option I have not considered.

On a different note, we had the misfortune of having our home broken into in Toronto. During the course of the investigation the officer suggested we download the images captured by our door alarm using their Axon app. I took the opportunity to ask the officer about Axon which I own (get a little intel to turn my lemon experience into lemonade maybe!). He said the officers love the software and they were looking forward to getting the upgraded Taser within the next few months. So it was nice to get that positive news.

Appreciate your insight.

Q: your answORC.B is quite small, and is the 'stub piece' of a company that was sold (Pan Ocean, by the same management) many years ago. So, the team has built and sold companies before. ORC is very small at $55M. Earnings have been up and down, and it currently has $60M net cash. Insiders own 18%. The company has been in a long running dispute with Tanzania, but this was settled this week with more money coming into ORC for natural gas sold in prior years. This is positive but highlights some of the political risk here. Two analysts cover the company. Shares have really underperformed, down 33% in ten years. Despite the pedigree of management, we would have little interest here, though certainly the company could get more active with its cash and this could spice things up if it were to do so. er was

I am wondering why dont we take the company private for no cost and stick 5 million in our pockets. Do you want to go 1/2 and 1/2?

Q: Hello 5i
I noticed one of your answers about Trump tariffs in which you cite Aritzia as an example of how difficult it is to predict which consequences certain actions will have on stocks. Fortunately, I did not sell that company. But, I did sell icln a few months ago, fearful of Trump’s disdain for renewable energy. But, icln has not moved much lower in those several months. In fact, it has risen a little. I wonder if you have any speculations on why that is? I am thinking about getting back in. How would you see that possibility?
Thanks

Q: what do you think of the deal on the table. Are shareholders getting fair value?

Q: Hi,
Sunoco has offered to buy Parkland @ $44 per share or for a mix of cash/shares. PKI closed at $38.25. Is this a good opportunity or is there a lot of deal risk? Little confused by the lack of stock movement. Holding a small position.
Thanks!

Q: As a holder of FRU, I notice that there has been a marked decline beginning in early April. Does there exist any evidence of major sales by large holders, such as institutions, ETFs or, say, CNR?
Thanks for all you do, Bill

Q: Peter; SES missed - again- but stock is up slightly. I’ve been trying to convince myself to hold - could I have your thoughts please. Thanks.

Q: I remember hearing that CNQ breaks even at $50 dollar oil. Question is, is this true, and does that include dividends. Also, I would like to know about CVE, Whitecap. I am wondering about US oil companies in the basins of Texas area and Montana area. What oil price do they need to keep operating (cost of operations).
Thank You again for your excellent services.
