Investment Q&A

Q: Now that energy stocks are going out of favour, it's time to start looking at the what might be attractive from a valuation point. I'm looking for a US energy company (not XOM or CVX): what are your thoughts on DVN and PXD? Is one preferable or do you have another suggestion? Thanks.

Q: I am thinking of starting a position in an energy company. names that have my attention are Devon with its high dividend. Exxon I mentioned on CNBC a lot. An ETF ? Can you make some suggestions. I am Canadian and realize US dividends are taxed at 15 %.

Q: I have been able to top up my TFSA accounts and now find I am sitting on about 40K in USD. I am looking for growth, preferably with a dividend, in a well managed and reliable company, or companies. I'm overweight in Tech & Utilities, OK in Finance, low in Energy, underweight in Industrial. A quick look at the US sectors has given me the feeling that now isn't the time to start with Staples, Health Care or Utilities and that there seems to be caution with respect to Energy. Materials and possibly Industrials, which has puzzled me, as I would think China reopening and the US's infrastructure spending would have helped the last three sectors mentioned. I welcome your thoughts, and any suggestions, as they are usually very insightful!

Thank you

Q: Looking for what top 3 oil & gas recommendations you would have. Growth and appreciation over the next 2-3 years.

Q: Hi, I am in the camp that fossil fuel industry will be a place to be in 2023. With that said do you feel it is better to be in a fund such as NNRG or XLE or to be in individual companies either CDN or US? If so, can you give a few with some good dividends that you would recommend to look at. Thanks

Q: What is going on with AAV and DVN recently. Both are dropping at a greater rate than other gas & oil stocks. Would you hold or sell? Would there be 2 or 3 others that might be more solid alternates?

Q: How does Devon Energy compare with CNQ?

Q: Hi,
I'd be very interested in your take on the earnings for DVN. The 13% drop seems excessive to me, however I expect there was something in the earnings that I missed, but rang alarm bells for others?
Thanks for your insightful work!

Q: How would you rate these companies for a buy now and growth in the future?

Thanks again

Q: Hi, we have energy sector exposure through, CNQ,SU,TOU and ENB. There are several reasons for owning the sector through CDN companies, primarily for Dividend Tax credit in the Non Regd accounts and also their relatively lower risk profile and size. We have not invested in US Oil, and Gas/Pipeline companies, except a small holding in XLE.

CNBC guests/traders, frequently recommend the US companies listed in the question and it appears that all these stocks are doing well. ( OXY - with 20% ownership with Warren Buffet }. My question is that, in Canada, do we have Energy companies with similar product/business profiles to these US names. And, if so, for a Balanced 5i Portfolio risk profile investor, is the sector well represented with these four CDN companies ? Current Portfolio Weight: CNQ/SU/TOU: 9% ENB:6% Total-15%.

Thank You

Q: I have several cdn mid/small cap stocks but am looking for some less volitile names with dividends. Your thoughts on PXD and DVN? Would you prefer one over the other or both or neither?

Thanks

Dave

Q: Your thoughts on Devon Energy please.

Q: I have the the above exposures to the oil industry and I would like to reduce them. Can you please rank them in terms of recovery/return potential in the next year or two?

Q: I am thinking about buying this stock in a hope for recovery. What are the chances of bankruptcy? Is the dividend safe?

Q: Just your thoughts on DVN (US)
