Investment Q&A

Q: Dear 5i,
Here are the stocks I have left to purchase from your Balanced portfolio, can you please place these in order or how attractive they are at this time for a long-term hold? Also, is QQQ a good starting point for US focus holding in a registered account? Thank you.

Q: Good Morning 5i,
I would appreciate knowing your outlook for Gibson Energy (GEI). In the past couple of months there was an article in the Globe & Mail that there could be more to come on the M&A front. It listed several companies that could be up for sale and GEI was one. The article said that GEI management was looking out to improve shareholder value and company sale (not just assets) wasn't out of the question. Since then GEI has become the first energy company in North America to link it's credit facility to meeting sustainability objectives. The stock has not performed as well as other energy stocks during this time and I have continued to hold it for the potential takeover aspect. Do you consider a take over is possible and if so, what companies do you consider would be potential candidates to takeover GEI? Thanks

Q: Hello, given the current US$ exchange rate and the loses still incurred on a handful of CDN stocks, I'd like to hear your thoughts on selling the decent dividend but significant double digit % loses to acquire more US$ and move it into GOOG & FB. Alternatively I have considered adding to VFV or starting a position in VGRO and leave it as CDN$. I am ~25% in USD of which I plan to use so I am not concerned with adding a few more points of USD. Thank you for your opinion.

Q: Please comment on Suncor's quarter and outlook.

Q: Hello,

A question about Suncor. Currently the BP position is just over 1%. What signals are you looking at to increase the position to a more meaningful level?

Q: Can you please comment on these 3 companies (balance sheet, outlook, risks etc) and would you be comfortable buying them today and in what order. Thanks

Q: I own Suncor ,and am under water about 20%. I’m thinking of swapping it out for CNQ ? Which company has more upside potential for a 2 to 4 year horizon?
Thanks,
Philip

Q: I have 5.5% of my net worth invested in FNV, CNQ, and SU. Is this good enough to participate in the coming "commodity super cycle" that may, or may not, happen? Also own lots of pipelines which probably would also benefit. Thanks Ron

Q: One has to wonder if the proposed sale of some stores by Couche-Tard isn't setting them up financially to purchase the convenience stores from Suncor. This has been noted here before.

I hold both so am watching closely.

Q: Is it still good time to buy energy stocks,if yes which is better choice?

Q: It appears oil prices are headed up this year but shares of companies like Exxon Mobil Corp. and Royal Dutch Shell and Suncor among others have lagged behind the oil market itself, and stock prices haven’t returned to pre-pandemic levels for a number of reasons that have nothing to do with the price of oil. Is there any other investment vehicle that would better reflect the rise in oil prices? How about OIL on the nyse?

Q: Assuming $80.00 +- oil which of the above might do best. please add any stock you think would fit the theme.
thanks
Yossi

Q: Hi 5i
Today on BNN it was suggested that SU has had a large investor selling in the past week and perhaps that has now finished and this is contributing to SU share price recovery today. Do you know who the seller might have been? Also, heard a rumour that CNQ and SU are looking to merge. Have you heard this and would you consider it to be good for both companies? Thanks

Q: I own these 2 majors and I'm up 15-20% on them so far. My question is that many people are now talking about value stocks and that energy and financials are good plays. It seems like a lot of people believe energy might be entering a multi year bull market (Eric Nutall!). I've traded these over the last few years since they always seem to pop and then go back down with political climate or economic sensitivity. How do you know if this time is different? I don't want to sell too early, but I don't think $100 oil is coming back.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Appears this sector is staging a comeback has it staying power ?
i like to buy one or two preferably with good divdend.
TOU is one name i know .any other names

Q: amusing oil and N/g priced stay in the current range ( +- 5%) Which of the above have most upside in share price (most first) could you comment on each briefly.
thanks

Q: Would it make sense for both Couche Tard and Suncor to strike a deal for the former to take over the latter's retail gas stations? Would such a deal unlock value for Suncor, and at the same time be a meaningful addition to Couche Tard?

Q: There is a lot of talk about a shift to value stocks. What is and how do I identify a value stock and can you give some examples of current opportunities in your portfolios and generally please?

Q: Can you give us your concensus on Suncor's quarter and outlook?
I have several hundred shares that average close to the present price.
Would you hold, sell a portion, or dump them all?
My feeling is with time they may climb back some, but it's risky with all the rush to green companies whether they've proven themselves or not.

thanks, Paul

Q: Hi 5i,

Please kindly comments the above stocks (FTS, SU, ENB, KEY) in oil related sector, I am thinking to invest for 1-2 years, kindly to rank the risk and potential in coming future. Should I keep all of them or may suggest to take off one? Perhaps I should consider FTS more on utility rather than oil related? Thanks for your advise.
