Q: Could you please comment on the Q4 results reported today. The stock is down 21% from its high on Jan. 5/20 versus a 3% loss for the TSX over the same period. I know it is problematic with todays volatility and uncertainty but could you venture an opinion as to how you think this stock will do over the next 6 to 12 months versus the market in general. Thank you, Ian

Q: OVV (Encana): just looked at fundamentals supplied by CIBC Investors Edge - everything looks very good, if the data is correct? Please provide comments on this stock for me as a potential BUY or not? What are the true facts? Here is what CIBC had: ROE=15.47, TTM PE = 1.75x, B.V. = $28.00, D/E = 83% (high) & PR = 7.17%.

Q: Been keeping an eye on the travel stocks as they get pummeled by coronavirus concerns. CCL yield becoming very attractive--do you think there is a risk of them cutting the dividend as they battle through the inevitable sales decline over the next 12-24 (?) months

Q: Inter Pipeline has a current dividend of 8.9 %. According to TD Waterhouse today, the the 2020 estimated payout ratios are 81 % of AFFO and 197 % of EPS. The net debt to EBITDA ratio is 6.3 %. These numbers are high compared to other similar companies. Would it make sense to sell this stock and purchase ENB or PPL instead ? Thanks, Joe

Q: Can you comment of Boardwalk’s most recent quarter? I own Boardwalk (10% gain) and Interrent (75% gain). After starting their intention to diversify away from Alberta and Saskatchewan over a year ago, little progress has been achieved by Boardwalk. I’m debating selling Boardwalk and putting the proceeds to work in Interrent on a pullback since I already own a position. Would you be ok with this move? I would maintain the same sector weighting (10%) but it would be all in one stock and some ETFs vs 2 stocks.

Thanks,
Jason

Q: Can you recommend 3 or 4 reasonably priced stocks that have a decent yield and might benefit from an almost zero interest rate environment. Long-term hold.

Q: Hello. What are your thoughts on Ensign Energy Services (ESI.T)? They recently had a dividend reduction after engaging in the purchase of a competitor (Trinidad Drilling). The stock has collapsed and continues on a downward spiral. Is this a good long-term (5 yrs+) investment?
I am down considerably right now, should I take my losses or average down right now? Thank you.

Q: My portfolio has held up reasonably well so far in the current downturn , so I am not sure whether replacing ccl.b with Costco is worth doing. I have been reading positive comments about Costco and could use more US exposure. Do I want more US exposure in this environment ?
The reason for selling CCLB is that I still have a healthy profit in it and am considering protecting it.
My intent is that this would be a longterm decision,
and done in my TFSA where I currently hold
ccl.

Thanks in advance

Q: Hello,
I was watching an interview on BNN with Mr. Wonderful where he disclosed this little company which is using psychedelics for treatment of depression, PTSD, ADHD in adults, drug addiction therapies and a host of other potential avenues. After doing some light digging it also turns out Linton is on the board of this company. They trade on the NEO exchange which I have never heard of, can you give me your opinion of this exchange and this very small company. I realize this is early days. This would be a flier long hold 5 years.
