Q: Looking to add some large cap oil exposure, I’m having trouble deciding between the 3 large caps or just buying the XEG etf. Any insights on where you see value/potential at this point in time? Thanks!

Q: Hello 5i,
I recently asked a question regarding icln , which as you mention, is an etf in clean energy area. I asked whether it might respond similarly to AQN and other stocks mentionned in the article you recently wrote on possibility for a rebound with changing rates.

I am interested in this etf, but the stronger possibility of Trump entering the Whitehouse, this time legitimately, worries me. If I can trust what I read, he has made deals with Big Oil and sees climate change as Woke propaganda. This makes me hesitant. How would you see a Trump presidency affecting this sector? although, if it affected the US sector, I imagine it would also affect the Canadian stocks, as well.
thanks for your great service

Q: So it looks like we are heading into a real electric energy shortage in the US. What utility companies are going to prosper into the next 5 years. Sad to think that coal is not showing any signs of a slow down.
Thanks Again

Q: Good morning 5i,
I just read your excellent report on Canadian companies which could rebound with a changing economic environment, especially concerning rate cuts. You mentionned AQN and a Brookfield clean energy company.

I imagine the same dynamics would hold for US stocks. I was wondering specifically, whether ICLN might be an American company similar to the Canadian ones you mention?
thanks for the great service

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i!

With all the political complications in France right now, do you foresee any problems with TTE? It is a France based oiled gas company. I feel that the stocks in France may get a bit of a drubbing depending on the election results. I have a nice profit right now. Your thoughts??Hold?? Sell??

Cheers,
Tamara

Q: Between these 2 stocks, both with good growth and dividends, would you prefer for a long term hold. Are their dividend taxed differently in Canada?

Is there another CDN or US stock you prefer to these two?

Q: Interesting article today in Wall street journal on Canadian oil sand producers.
i like this point: More recently, some companies have started replacing human-operated trucks with autonomous ones. Suncor Energy sees room for even more efficiency: On a call with analysts last month, the company said the WTI crude-oil price at which it can reach corporate break-even could come down by $10 a barrel, or about 19%, by year-end 2026.

Perhaps Buffet will buy in again (not sure if he sold his whole position).

Q: hi all:

looking at the total nuclear complex from producers to manufacturing to servicing to repairing.............the whole industry now and into the future

besides the producers (i own cco and nxe) who do you see as potential investable companies over the next 5+ years

(in services, i own bwxt)

more specifically, i'm hearing more that small modular reactors will show good potential for our energy grid, who do you foresee as playing a role in building and servicing?

......and anything else you care to add on this theme!

thank you

Q: Hello 5i, Could you comment as to why the operators of the Trans Mountain Pipeline would supply tanker loads of Canadian Oil to the US west coast refiners to replace Iraq oil. This oil is heavily discounted. I thought the purpose of the new pipeline was to obtain world price for Canadian oil and reduce the supply of discounted Canadian oil to the US. This new event is quite concerning for Canadian oil producers to achieve world price for there oil.
