Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: Can you please explain what all this means, thanks.
The TSX will implement an "if, as and when issued" trading market commencing Sept. 25, 2024 and ending at the close of business on Oct. 1, 2024 for TC Energy Common Shares and common shares of South Bow (South Bow Common Shares).
The TC Energy Common Shares will resume "regular way" trading on the TSX and the NYSE on Oct. 2, 2024.
The spinoff is on Sep. 25th and the ex-dividend date for TRP is the 27th.

Q: Can you identify of the 10 top oil companies in Canada which ones receive WTI vs WCS oil pricing? How would you rank these companies for both risk and total return?

Q: TC Energy has set the date for the South Bow spin off (I believe Oct/24 - not sure if it was the beginning or end of month) I read that the spin off will not be subject to capital gains until it's sold, that much seems straight forward.

Can you please help me understand how the Average Cost Base will be established, will it be the price of the South Bow Shares at the outset of trading on day one?? I'm assuming the Cost Base for the remaining TC Energy shares stays the same, even tho the share price will be reduced to reflect the pricing of South Bow.

Thanks

Q: Good morning,
I read that Enbridge cut its pipeline tolls by more than 10% in late August due to competition from the TMX pipeline. Will a cut of this size have a significant impact on ENB earnings? Which do you consider a better investment at this time: ENB or TRP? Thanks as always for your advice.

Q: a while back you preferred PPL over TRP that worked out nicely; thank you.
now TRP stock has recovered and pays higher dividend (so does ENB)
would you still keep PPL or now ENB/TRP has more upside (growth + div)
PPL + ENB is only 4% of my portfolio; I read ENB is benefiting from all the electricity demand so perhaps there is growth there?

Q: My wife and I hold a blend of mainly dividend paying blue chip Canadian stocks (examples shown) in a diversified equity/fixed income portfolio. PE ratios on some of our dividend payers seem enticing to add to. As retirees with a reasonably conservative approach, what sectors does 5i feel have the best opportunity for P/E margin expansion over the next several years, assuming no 'abnormal' (whatever that is) market volatility and some moderation of interest rates? Consistent with the margin expansion theme, would 5i suggest we add to our existing dividend payers, or to more growth-oriented names like BN group?

Q: Current overall portfolio weightings in energy and utilities sectors are as follows: ENB 2.5%, ALA 1.5%, TRP 1.5%, SU 1.5%, BIP.UN 1.5%, PD .75%, TOU .75%, CNQ .5%. Please comment on any possible additions, deletions, switches, increased/decreased weightings, considering a long-term (10 year) time horizon and the impending South Bow spinoff involving TRP

Q: Today shareholders approved the TRP spin off of South Bow. Will this ultimately unlock additional value for TRP shareholders and if not, would it be better to sell before the spin off? If its a sell, would CNQ be a good replacement in the same space? Can you suggest any other companies in the same space with a stable and growing dividend? (I already own ENB and Pembina).
Read Answer Asked by Joseph on June 07, 2024
Q: Now that the spin off has been approved, which of the two entities do you prefer for an investment? Or do each have their strengths and you like both but for different objectives (if yes, what type of portfolio does each belong in?).
Is one likely to carry the debt burden more than the other?
Thank you as always!
