Investment Q&A

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

Q: Good morning,

I currently hold FRU in my TFSA account and it is down approx 30%.

Q1. What is your outlook at this time of FRU and would this be a good entry point to purchase some additional shares?

I wish to purchase an energy stock for my TFSA and GXE is one under consideration given the relative safety of its high dividend and growth prospect should the price of oil go higher.

Q2. What are your thoughts and outlook of GXE at this time and do you have a better recommendation for a new position in my TFSA?

Thank you and I'll await your sage advice.

Q: So, in comes the new Liberal budget. Lots of spending and increased deficits. Also, a huge emphasis on renewables. Where does this leave the oil and gas industry in Canada? Is this budget going to damage the industry or does the money it brings in to the federal government make it an essential contributor to the funds needed to pay for all the new spending outlined by the government. What will happen to Canadian energy companies as a result of this budget?

Q: I have reviewed the Income statement and Balance and FFO. This company, from what I can see, is poised for some serious cash flow and profit moving forward. What is your take on it keeping in mind that there seems to be a push in exploration given the Electrification of Industry? Currently drills are in short supply and it appears that this trend will continue giving rise to higher margins etc. Would you buy in at this time?

Q: Hi Team,

Evidently the Q4 wasn't spectacular...I do have a few questions in particular:

1. The 2023 guidance for EBITDA and EPS has quite a range, to me this almost looks like saying 'we have no idea' what do you make of this?

2. Just below the guidance in the press release there is talk of 'Actual Profits' vs the prior 'Assumed Profits', what is this and is this a good/bad/no effect change?

3. Your overall thought on the results and if you see this decline as an opportunity?

Thanks

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In our combined accounts, Portfolio Analytics indicates that the Technology sector is overweight by 4.53%.

To reduce the overweight position to 2.76%, ENGH could be sold at a reasonable profit, given the length of time it’s been held.

Our other holdings in this sector are CSU, KXS, TOI, and LMN. (If we also sold LMN, our new overweight position would drop to 2.62%) Would you endorse selling only ENGH or both ENGH and LMN to free up some $ for under-represented sectors?

Thanks as always for your thoughts.

Q: Hi 5i, my question is on all financials impacted new taxes.

"Dividend tax change: Ottawa is planning to raise billions of dollars from banks and insurers through a change in tax rules on dividends that financial institutions receive from Canadian companies."

Can you put a guess on how this will impact investors?

Thx

Q: Both of these issues have share prices which have taken severe hits recently and at least superficially appear to reflect the worst outcome from known difficulties. The question I would like you to address is; in your opinion and in the absence of new circumstances does the current valuation of each equity fully account for/ discount all the known issues each company faces? i.e. Do the present prices represent a reasonably reliable floor.
