Q: The recent NPI quarter looks pretty weak, decreased revenues from last year. I’m thinking to take a loss and possibly add to other positions, or would you recommend to repurchase after the 30 days? I read the March report, but I see better opportunities in other names. The growth story for 2025 is only the Oneida Energy Storage Project completion? How much will this add to revenues? I’m also concerned the allure around renewables and the climate change narrative is crumbling, especially after the Europe outages. Any thoughts on this?

My add to names I’m considering are PPL, CPX, PEY, WCP. How would you rank those for growth, stability, current and future yield?

Q: Hello Team,
Do you have a preference between these for overall performance over the next couple of years, ie capital gain plus dividends and why. With LNG becoming a thing, I wonder if that swings it to TOU. Your comments would be appreciated. Also, what would you expect the total percent dividend going forward for TOU, including quarterly and special.
Thanks,
Barry

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: 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?
