Q: I saw this news release and would be grateful for an interpretation.
http://investors.algonquinpower.com/File/Index?KeyFile=400290864

If shares are only offered to the public, I suppose that includes institutional investors? Also, I'd be interested to know how the market works in this situation. ie, if supply of shares exceeds demand, will the price keep dropping until they're all sold? It is about 4.6% of their market cap.
I would like to purchase shares and would appreciate guidance on when you would suggest this could be done.
Many thanks.
ps. I very much appreciated your frank article 2 days ago on the financialpost.com

Q: I've been looking over FRU since I saw your most recent answer to a Q about it. Seems remarkable the it is now trading at a price last seen in 2000! It is trading below it's 2008 low. My question is: Considering that oil is a declining asset has this company managed to increase its land holdings in oil over the last 20 years or is it on a slow decline? Also, how did it perform in the 2008 Great Recession?

Q: Hi team
I am in a bit of a quandary, I bought ala a while ago, before they cut the dividend, my average cost is about $ 29, I know the old saying it doesn't matter what you paid for it, its the present that counts, I have it in a tax free account. I am thinking about selling some of it and buying vet, higher yield, but Lord knows that it could be cut at any time regardless of the management says they wont. I also feel that it has a better chance of capital gains in the future. How do you feel about this plan
Thanks

Q: It seems Peyto has continued to drop from the levels mentioned in a lot of previous questions on the company. I understand why investor sentiment is low on sector but it seems way overdone at this point for Peyto. Do you see any new obstacles management is ignoring? Also see that the consensus '20 earnings are forecast at $0.20 for the year but I just can't seem to figure out why they would be that low. Have a recent position and thinking of averaging down or adding to another portfolio.

Q: I hold Enterprise Product Partners in my RRSP account. I own this because the US seems less risky to pipelines in general. They announced further expansion with added capacity into 2021 and 2022. I know you don't cover US stocks but wonder if you could comment on debt levels, dividend coverage, etc.

Thanks for the fine service you provide

Q: Hello,
I'm looking for your thoughts on husky energy. What do you think about the 5 year scenario? Is it a candidate for a takeover and if so what would the target share price be? Secondly, if sold will it affect Tidewaters operation and share price?
Thank you,
Dave

Q: I have always considered invests in companies that have operations in Russia or are Russian domiciled as being too risky, but recently came across Gazprom. I would appreciate your opinion as to the risk of investing in Gazprom at this time. A perusal of a Reuters report on the company indicates that the company’s metrics look ok and it has a 25% payout ratio. If purchased it would be for income.
Thank you for considering my question
