Q: Hi guys,

Your thoughts on "Fusion energy" stocks? Are we still in the first couple of innings and need to wait some more or is it time to start chipping away at a position? Should you think it's time, who would you recommend?
Thanks

Q: For a conservative investor making an initial investment in o&g industry ( other than owning ENB ), which would you suggest ?

I like the integrated biz and very long reserves of SU and the proven management and size of CNQ.

Which company can handle lower oil prices best ? Which is more dividend growth friendly ?

I’m thinking either one is fine and it’s a coin toss, but any further considerations you can provide would be appreciated.

Thanks, Derek.

Q: I'm trying to understand HPYT and what factors will influence the market price . In Dec. 23 market price was $12.83 and yield was 14% . Today it is $8.91 and yield is 20% . Am I correct in assuming as the price drops the yield will rise ? I did notice that since inception HPYT has paid .15 cents a month . Up until the recent June payment which was .13 cents. Why the decrease ?

What factors influence the market price ? Interest rates I assume . What effect will rising interest rates have on the price ? And what effect will dropping interest rates have ?

What effect will a Taco tariff policy have on the price ?

Will the " Great Big Beautiful Bill " have an effect on the price ? Going to be a substantial increase in U.S. debt .....

Will the price be influenced by Trump's rhetoric of replacing Powell ? And what effect will that be ? .....I can't imagine Mr Market will react positively to a politically motivated Fed Chair .....

Can I slot this into the fixed income portion of my portfolio or is it too volatile ?
Basically I would like to know the various factors 5i feels will influence the price/yield of this security .....

Thanks for your terrific service .....

Q: Has Hydro One always paid a dividend since it went public? Has it ever decreased the dividend payment ( in dollars)? I am thinking of buying Hydro One as a 5+ year hold.

I am looking for a solid utility with good chance for growth in share price over the long-term, but already own Fortis, so am looking for an alternative to that stock.

What would be a good entry price to buy Hydro One? Thank you.

Q: Good morning,

This question relates to the upcoming sale of PKI to Sunoco.

If a person held 1000 shares of PKI and elected to take the cash offer of $44 and was not granted the full cash allotment, and instead received $19.8 per share held and .295 shares of the new Company he would have $19.8k plus 295 shares of the new entity.

Or at least some configuration of shares depending on the choices of other shareholders.

That being said, if one wanted to dispose of these newly issued shares, how does one go about it, and are there any tax ramifications to be aware of when selling American shares?

My cost of PKI shares is approx $38 Can. There may be a small cap gain depending on the value of the SUN shares.

Or should one just bail out before the new shares are issued?

Finally, what is your best guess at the share price of PKI, just prior to the official delisting and the creation of SUN?

Q: Hi All At 5i!!
What are your thoughts on Quanta Services?? Despite its high valuation, would you still initiate a small position?? Despite high valuations, some stocks still track upward. Would you consider this stock to be one of those? If not, at what price would you consider it a buy?

Cheers,
Tamara
