Investment Q&A

Q: As per Martin Pelletier's article in the Financial section of this morning's National Post, I believe that oil (and/or oil & gas) will be a good hedge against general political and market turmoil this year. Would PDBC be a good alternative?

Q: Peter

You received a question about Tourmaline exporting gas to western Canada LNG facilities. They are a partner of Rockies LNG group which is trying to do just that: rockieslng.com

Q: Good morning. I've held NPI for a number of years and recent weakness has brought prices down to my cost base. A new analyst report from National Bank considers the stock to be undervalued and I'm considering increasing my holdings. I already own BEP.UN.? Your opinion on a price rebound for NPI.
Thanks.

Q: Hi 5i,
A question regarding TOU:
I've reviewed its website - very impressive and informative by the way! - and can't find any indication that TOU intends to send gas to the Canadian west coast for export as LNG. All gas it markets for LNG export seems to go through the US to the east coast or the Gulf.
I'm wondering if I understand this correctly and, if so, why wouldn't TOU take advantage of west coast LNG facilities in Canada and is it missing out by not doing so? (I know the TOU management is very smart so if they don't send gas to our west coast there's no doubt good reason - but I don't know what it might be ...).
Thanks for any insight you're able to provide.
Peter

Q: Can you explain the details of the TRP spinoff that is planned for the second half of 2024 please? I invested in TRP for the dividend income. What do you recommend I do after the spinoff is completed knowing dividend income is the highest priority when investing in this company?

Q: I am thinking about taking a full position in either Altagas or Keyera. Could you please provide your thoughts on both companies.

Thanks

David

Q: For a 3 to 5 year hold and safety of dividend, which is the safer stock CPX OR H.

Q: Stock seems particularly weak compared to other Cdn. midcap oils. Any comments. Thanks.

Q: I hold both Peyto and Arc Res. I feel it would be prudent to only hold one of these. Peyto yields 10.2% vs. Arc at 3.3%, Pey more oil, Arc primarily gas, PE ratios are nearly identical at 6.8. LTD levels are similar considering the size of the companies.
I also hold PXT which I could sell and invest the money in these 2 names. Any thoughts? Thanks

Q: In your opinion, is it worth holding on to AQN for the potential benefits of it's renewable business sale/split (and whatever other news follows), or sell now and invest in to companies with more proven management and stability e.g. I'd be putting the proceeds mainly in to BNS and TD.

Q: This stock has struggled compared to its large cap competitors such as CNQ and SU. I have a position which is underwater and in your opinion is it a buy, sell or hold. Thanks. Rick

Q: hi folks:

why do you suppose whitecap is around 2 year lows?

seems like most 'in the know' favour it as a well run, solid energy co

comments?

thanks

Q: It has been a long while since I have owned Birchcliff Energy (BIR) and I was shocked to see it trading for less tham $6. The dividend yield is nearly 14 per cent. I understand that at 2.50 natural gas pricing that BIR has to use leverage to maintain the 20 cent per quarter dividend. I remember about a year ago BIR was debt free so I don't image their debt is that high. I also remember Jeff Tonkin saying that the dividend was almost sacrosanct. So I few questions. Is Tonkin still the COE or has he retired or stepped up to be on the BOD? Is the debt level of BIR still low? At 2.50 gas (I know BIR never used to hedge so I assume they are gettting spot pricing) how much debt per quarter must BIR use in order to maintain the current dividend and spend enough to keep production flat? Do you think they will resize, that is, cut the dividend? And if they cut do you thin they would do an NCIB and start to buy back the shares from their depressed levels?

Q: Hello 5i Team

Could you please review the three listed US Oil & Gas midstream companies which are not MLPs?

Please rank in order which would be the best company(s) for allocation of capital.

Are there any other US C-Corporation midstream companies which I should be reviewing?

These would be held in a US dollar denominated RRSP account for long term growth and income.

Thank you
