Investment Q&A

Q: Hello Team,
Which of these do see providing the greater total return over the next two to three years and why?
Thank You,
Barry

Q: ARX is approaching all time highs and yet TOU seems to have no upward momentum at all. I have been hearing for the last few years that TOU is a premium gas stock and the new LNG plant would offer a big boost to the company. With the LNG plant nearing completion I was expecting TOU to start a move upwards. What is happening? Which of ARX & TOU will benefit the most from LNG Canada?

Q: Hi, comments on the acquisition by Tourmaline last night?

Are they getting one piece or two?

Q: Hello,

From all the companies in any of the 5i portfolios, would you be able to list which have been buying back shares or have had high insider buying within the last 6 months?

Thank you.

Q: Hello Team,
Do you have a preference between these for overall performance over the next couple of years, ie capital gain plus dividends and why. With LNG becoming a thing, I wonder if that swings it to TOU. Your comments would be appreciated. Also, what would you expect the total percent dividend going forward for TOU, including quarterly and special.
Thanks,
Barry

Q: Thoughts on Tourmaline 1st quarter earnings?

Q: With the price of oil going down, do you think that it’s better to hold natural gas stocks and sell companies that produce mostly crude?

Q: hi 5i. sorry for the number of equities in this. you seem to like all (most?) of these companies. I have none of these in my portfolio, but have been trying to get in at lower prices. can you please rank as buy, sell, or hold. can you flag any that you have more concern with re the uncertain investing markets right now ie any to totally avoid? could you give a price point at which you would be buyers of the equities.
cheers and thanks, Chris

Q: Hello Team,
With LNG export a much more acceptable business in the US, would you recommend EXE. US ahead of TOU or ARX in Canada.
Thank You,
Barry

Q: These seem to be your favourites in the O&G sector. Which would you buy at this point?

If they not your top two, please add your recommended company or ETF.

Thanks!

Q: Gas stocks eg. ARX and TOU are down about 10% today-is this drop justified?- Are they a buying opportunity?

Q: Why the big drop today? A buy at these levels?

Q: Hi Chris, With today's blood bath, please advise if you think of screaming buy high conviction stocks for growth and dividend. If possible price range too. Thanks

Q: Hello 5I Team,

I need to trim down these positions in order to generate some cash in the next couple of weeks. Could you please suggest a possible order that you might trim from this list of eight companies, given the current economic climate? Thanks. Brad

Q: I own CNQ (largest position), OXY, and CHORD in my trading accounts. I am down quite a bit in CHORD since the Enerplus merger.

I don't really have that much exposure to natural gas stocks at the moment. Would it make sense to sell CHORD, claim a capital loss, and buy something like PEY, TOU, or BIR?

Q: Hi Peter and co,
Although Mark Carney has eliminated the *consumer* carbon tax (which leaves industry still paying it I suspect, and the costs will still get passed through to consumers), given his track record and recent comments about commitment to net-zero and "heavy emitters will have to pay", it sounds to me like there will be significant headwinds for Canadian Energy companies if the Liberals are elected. I am considering lightening up on my Canadian energy holdings, given the probability of 4 years of energy-hostile policies. What are your thoughts on this move, for or against?

Q: Hello 5i,

I'm thinking of selling my BCE shares in my non-registered account for tax loss purposes since I'm also expecting a dividend cut shortly. I'm looking to replace the dividend income as much as possible and I'm thinking of putting the proceeds in Telus (which I already own) or FRU.UN (not owned but I already own TOU). I'm debating whether a possible capital appreciation with BCE following a dividend cut makes it worth rebuying after 30 days instead of continuing to hold T or FRU.UN for the long term? Overall, my goal is to maintain my dividend income with this particular trade.

I'm also thinking about replacing FSV with HPS.A (I had HPS.A FOMO a few months ago but I'm not sure it's going back to its previous days?) in my TFSA for overall returns and I'm wondering if you have a preference between the two?

Thank you,
Lisa

1. wait for your monthly advice before acting
