Q: Are you able to reasonably estimate when a company will produce positive (EPS) earnings per share (i.e 1-3 year out)? If so, when will GEI (Gibson's Energy) have positive earnings? Are there any services /sources out there that does this type of projection?
On a different matter, are my question credits carried over should I not use all my question credits by my renewal date?
Q: What was the fundamental reason(s) for Gibson Energy's slow decline to ~ 1/3 its value from sep 2014 to Jan 2016 and are those reasons still true today? It still pays a fairly hefty dividend of ~7% but is it safe and by that I mean is there a danger of the stock taking another relentless dive down?
Q: Good Morning. Would like your assessment of Gibson's recent earnings report along with your current opinion of this company and the "safety" of its dividend. Also, any comments you might have in regard to the oil space in general in light of recent reports about the drastically improving metrics for solar energy, and therefore long term pressure on fossil fuels as the primary energy source. Thank you.
Q: Thoughts on the following please.
1) GEI
2) Reits in general
3) We have KMP.UN,CRR.UN, DRG.UN, DIR.UN,SMU.UN & NWH.UN which represent 8-9% of our portfolio.Any to get rid or(riskier)? Which REITS would you prefer at present if any?
Thanks,
Ted
Q: Hi: I am sitting with 5.10% of my portfolio in VNR and 3.99% of my portfolio in GEI. Wondering if it is a good idea to sell some VNR thereby reducing the holdings to 3.19% and buy GEI raising my holdings in this stock to 5.80%. By making this move I can increase my income by $1.00 a day over the present. Thank You.
Q: I'm exploring the possibility of a half position in GEI. Where does Gibson go from here? Is the company in a position to pick up quality assets during this time of consolidation because of low oil prices? Is there any reason why the dividend will be reduced in the short term?
Q: I realize these are all in different sectors but,all have 8% plus dividends; for an RSP account. Diversification not an issue.Which in your view do you like the best and has the best up side as well as maintaining its dividend, mid to long term.
Q: Gibson seems to be a solid company. Looking at the chart right now it appears to be oversold. The general direction of the chart is not encouraging. Would you expect a reversal of this trend making it a good buy or would you stay away?
Q: I currently own Gibson Energy in a locked in RRSP at an average price of $25.00.
My time frame is 10+ years to hold before I convert to a Life Income Fund (similar to a RRIF).
Is it better to:
1 - do nothing and collect the current yield (5.28 %) and wait for recovery in share price.
2 - slowly buy new units at current prices and bring my average price down and increase yield.
3 - sell and reinvest in other companies in the energy infrastructure field (KEY, PPL, IPL, ALA)
Q: GBN, Gibson Energy Inc., is a transporter of oil & gas products which has dropped a lot in value.Your comments on its debt,worthiness as an investment & some companies you'd consider better choices if you don't like this one would be appreciated.Thanks, as always, since you've saved me from myself many times.
Q: Gibson announced today a 200 million equity deal, and 100 million convertible bond in your opinion which is better to participate on it. How is the balance sheet of the company?
Q: GEI recently increased their dividend and their latest results sound disappointing. Why would they have increased their dividend in the first place, it sounds like a mixed signal?Should one not be too concerned with one quarter. Your comments please.
Q: Good Morning: Would like your assessment of the q1 results. Clearly the street is not impressed, but do you think this materially changes either the long term viability of the company or their ability to pay their current dividend?
