Investment Q&A

Q: I am interested in this small drilling firm as they seem to have the advantage of a far more efficient operating day rate than the larger drilling firms while maintaining an excellent operational reliability standard (due to reliance on older, less technological drilling rigs?). What can you tell me about them. Thanks

Q: I have done very well over the years with csu ( thanks to you) and still have about 8% in portfolio. thinking about selling half and buying csco
My thinking is csco is ready to move. good idea?

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
I note you have listed CVE as a good O&G option lately, first times I recall you doing so. There have been many saying they overpaid for their big purchase and that their debt is too high which if true is usually meaning a non endorsement by 5i. What is the case for this stock now in your opinion and is it not more properly lumped with the big boys like SU or CNQ? Do you prefer it over those two as well?
Thanks for all you do
Dennis

Q: What has caused RCH to drop? Is this a good time to buy?

Q: SPE is being purchased by VET. Many takeovers involve deferring tax (profits) similar to VSN and PPL deal. However if I have a loss in SPE is it better to sell and buy VET as I still like the acquisition also any thoughts on this VET given the purchase. Thanks

Q: Hello team,

I understand that all technology stocks are down but SHOP continues to lose more than everybody else. Can sentiment change so much? or is there something fundamentally wrong?

The stock has gone down from $202 to $144 in less than a month, would you sell, buy, or hold?

Thanks for sharing your insights and have a wonderful week!

Can you please recommend some good dividend paying Canadian stocks that behave well during recessions. Can you also generalize and comment on the type of stocks that behave well and poorly during recessions.

Q: What would be your thoughts on the Park Lawn acquisitions and corresponding Bought Deal. The offering closed down pretty fast at TD. I have subscribed for the maximum of 2000 shares allowed (not sure how much will be allocated).

Thank You.

Q: I will be selling Suncor and also own RRX and thinking of buying more RRX to average down or would it be better to buy WCP? I currently do not own WCP.

Q: Thanks for answering my question regarding the lawsuit filed by BXE. Just to clarify, I am an owner of TWM and have no interest in BXE. I was simply pointing out that BXE (like pretty much every other energy stock) had risen nicely over the past few weeks while TWM had not so I wondered if this lawsuit was the reason.

Q: Hi Team
one of the market call speakers
suggest to own Key instead of Ala

I have abit of both and Altagas is under water
so is Key
would it be wise to sell Ala for a capital loss and switch to Key
for a long term hold for mainly income and abit of capital gains ?
thanks
Michael

Q: I was wondering why the SP of TWM had been weak lately while the rest of the energy sector has been rebounding. This morning I stumbled into this while doing research. And BXE is a good example of a stock that has had a nice climb over the past 10 days. As always, I would appreciate your views.
