Investment Q&A

Q: I received an email from Paul Colbourne with regards to surge having 6 of the top 10 producing medium heavy oil wells in Canada and 14 year plus inventory in the Sparky.Your thoughts on this please and Surge in general please? Lots of insider selling of late doesn't look great.

Q: I looked up prior inquiries on Kimbell Royalty Partners (KRP) and in your answeres you immediately pointed out that it is a limited partnerrship and therefore has onerous taxation for Canadian investors. I have done some reading on KRP and it appears that KRP has elected to pay corporate taxes and therefore it is NOT considered a MLP, but it is a LP. I know that you 5i guys are not tax experts but could you do a second search on your bloomberg terminal, or other resources that you have, to confirm how a Canadian investor would be taxed if they owned KRP. Other than the tax question what do you think of KRP? The dividend yield is close to 11 per cent, leverage is not that high, and with the increase in oil and gas prices the variable dividend could get a boost (at least while the commodity prices are elevated) and therefore it is of interest to me.

Q: The negatives I see for investing in MOS are:

Do you have any concern about balance sheet or free cash flow?

Q: Hello,

CAGE is a new ETF gaining quite a bit of popularity online.

For a long-term investor (20+ years until retirement, LIRA), would you recommend it over XEQT? I am thinking doing a 50/50 split between the two, but would like your advice. Details on it are pretty limited thus far.

Thanks.

Q: With energy stocks such as WCP and CNQ benefiting from high oil prices what is there best strategy for deploying free cashflow? M & A opportunities are expensive given increase in share prices; buybacks are also questionable as their share values have risen. Debt levels are relatively low.

Any thoughts/advice will be greatly appreciated.

Q: Still hung up on sell or hold GSY. At 35$ I am down 70%. I know 5I always seems to suggest that not to redeploy cash from taking a loss as a means to make up for the loss.I do not quite get that. Could you explain .Regardless if I choose to sell do you think at today's price of 4.75$ that ZDC would provide more hope for me to recover or a better alternative .Much appreciated .Larry

Q: Good morning. The TSX Venture Exchange has approved the ABI request to implement a normal course issuer bid program, through which Abcourt may purchase, for cancellation, up to 80,000,000 of its common shares.
Is this normal practice at this stage of the companies development and growth?
What does this tell us about the company and what can a shareholder expect from this development moving forward?
