Investment Q&A

Q: On March 4 Algonquin released fairly good results. Today (March 5) the stock is getting hammered. Is the company still intact or has something changed drastically with the fundamentals?

Thanks

Q: What are you top picks (US or Canada) related to renewable or green energy? Is it too late to get in to some names?

Q: Hi, could you please explain the degree of the sell off in the renewable space. Any long term fundamental change in the industry? based on recent results any you would avoid.? Thanks

Q: I'm thinking of swapping RDS.B for FRU. Do you think this is a good move? Do you think Shell's stock price and dividend will recover a fair bit with the current oil and gas prices? I've been hearing favorable news with FRU on both fronts, and am curious to know your opinion on this swap. Thanks.

Q: I am a senior and this may be a senior moment. Is the adverse weather patterns that are increasing around the world putting strain on the wind, solar renewable power being viable ie the Texas storm. The above stocks seem to be retreating somewhat. . Your thoughts. One add on do i hold lspd at the 85.00 level? Thanks

Q: It appears oil prices are headed up this year but shares of companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell and Suncor among others have lagged behind the oil market itself, and stock prices haven’t returned to pre-pandemic levels for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with the price of oil. Is there any other investment vehicle that would better reflect the rise in oil prices? How about OIL on the nyse?

Q: Northland Power has been mostly holding its own but Innergex has fallen a fair bit in a couple of months. Is there a reason for the difference? Would you prefer to hold one over the other or suggest both?

Thanks.

Q: I would appreciate your analysis of Parex Resources results. As a debt free company, is it still a good hold going forward in the energy sector.
Thanks for all your help.
Dave.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

The last question about this stock was on June 21, 2018. What is your opinion now? According to their investor presentation, they derive 55% of their revenue from the oil and gas industries. Given the recent uptick in performance of that sector, might VTX be worthy of consideration? I see that the latest average score from Thomson Reuters gives VTX a rating of 6, whereas they give 2 as an average score for XBC. Where XBC falls short, according to TR is in earnings (1), valuation (1), and risk (2), Your insight would be greatly appreciated.

Q: what is your evaluation of this stock?

thank you

Q: If one looks at TRP as of today (March 1st), it is actually trading at the same level as it was when COVID took hold (March of 2020), when it declined from ~ $75 to the low $50s. While I understand that the Keystone rejection was a blow to TRP, and has sunk the share price, and that the current investing environment basically shuns anything fossil fuel related, I seem to think that this is just a waiting game. If I remember correctly, TRP just increased their dividend by about 7%, and historically the dividend has grown by about 7.5% annually over the last 5 years. So I guess what I'm saying is while I understand the current market infatuation with all things green, it seems to me that TRP is undervalued, given that North America is still going to be drinking from the hydrocarbon spigot for some time. My question to you is whether or not I am missing something obvious, or if you agree with this thesis.

Q: Your thoughts on Pembina Pipeline Corporation please. Both in terms of latest financial results and long term prospects for income and growth.

Thanks very much.

Q: Having had some success in 2020 with PHX, the current run up by RES has me intrigued. Does it have real « 3-bagger » potential and/or superior competitors in their space?

Q: What are your thoughts our TCW's year end numbers? Management looks to increase contract prices in the second half of 2021,therefore returning more to their bottom line and they have no bank debt.Is now a good time to add this name with a time horizon of 24 months?
Many thanks,
Jean

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Here is a link to an article from a US based RV newsletter, which points to a severe shortage of propane:

https://www.rvtravel.com/rvers-propane-shortage-affect-you/

My question is this: Does the propane shortage provide a buying opportunity for stocks like SPB? We owned it in the past, but sold it (at a profit) when it started languishing. Are the any other propane stocks (I guess in the US) that could benefit from this thesis?

Thanks as always for your insight.

Q: Why does FTS always out-perform CU? Bought CU because of the higher dividend years ago and have a good capital gain. Now have some new money and want ( but not need) income so would you add more to CU or start a new position in FTS? As always, thanks for the pragmatic advice. Ron

Q: I know the first three in RRSP's and down on them, was considering sellimg them and getting Enbridge in place for it's dividend mostly, is it likey to not be affected negatively in the new furure, good time to step in, what are your thoughts.
Regards

Q: What are your thoughts on ammonia as an energy source? What companies might benefit from this and under what time frame?
Thanks

Q: The drop in price in the last couple weeks for these two stocs has been considerable. Is there something more than the Texas problem involved here? Is its present price attractive for the next few years? I sorryfully missed your praise for Magna a couple months ago by bidding somwhat lower when it was $68.

Q: Based on Keystone XL decision, more crude will most likely be shipped by rail. US refineries need Canadian crude oil caused by shortfall from South America. Gibson plans to build facility to maximize crude content of rail shipments.
With footprint of tracks being different, who stands to benefit the most and why?
