Investment Q&A

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

Q: I was thinking of selling both QSR and TOU and buying SU and/or adding to EIF, X, or H. What do you think of this move? Would you have any better suggestions for stocks that pay a dividend but also offer some growth? I also have FIE in the financials space so no more financials and I own CNR already. Thank you.

Q: I have these oil and gas companies, a number of them since covid so have enjoyed good dividends and lots of upside. I have recently read about being in or going into a commodity super cycle, as well as the idea of the "Halo" trade which you have written about. So the question for me is about selling - something I am not good at! When looking at the charts of many of these stocks they have long cycles of going up and then down quite severely over a six to nine year cycle. What do we look for as far as it being time to sell? Are we getting to that peak now or do you think we have a long runway still to come? Thanks so much?

Q: Greetings,


1. Am I correct in noticing that TOU has been range bound between $56 - $69 for about 4 years?

2. Based on cash payout ratio - Are dividend payments sustainable?

3. Regardless of my concerns, Michael Rose (CEO) has been a solid insider buyer over the last two months.


4. Is TOU more of an income stock or is something very positive about to happen to the growth aspect?

5. What price would be a fair entry price?

6. What price would be a fair exit price?


Cheers!
A

Q: Could you please share your recommendations regarding my energy sector investments? I feel like I have too many and some may be overlapping. Additionally, could you suggest a few investments inside this sector that are currently not being covered?

I aim for a balanced approach with a mix of growth and income, intending to hold these investments for more than two years.

Thank you,

Q: Would it be prudent to reduce energy exposure at this time? My wives RRIF account holds ARX, TOU, & FRU they represent 21.8% of the portfolio. My RRIF account holds ARX, TOU, HWX, PPL, OBE, & PD they represent 33.3 % of the portfolio, PPL alone is 15% of the total portfolio. I know I should reduce this exposure what would you suggest?

Q: I recently put together a spreadsheet that pulls together all of the Canadian equity holdings that my wife and I have in our registered and non-registered accounts.

This is what we have in the Oil & Gas Sector:

• the three majors SU, CVE and CNQ
• the three pipes TRP, PPL and ENB
• and an assortment of other companies TOU, WCP, ARX, ALA, TPZ, MDI, MER

I’d like to trim this back to 6-8 holdings and, as well, have more of a balanced profile. What would you recommend? And if there are different O&G stocks you’d sub in, please recommend as well.

Thanks.

Q: I own the BMO Equal Weight Canadian Oil and Gas Index ETF (ZEO) as well as some Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), Tourmaline Oil (TOU), and Enbridge (ENB). All have done well. But oil prices are expected to fall in 2026 due to excess supply. Plus, with the US takeover of Venezuela, my understanding is that demand for Canadian oil could drop. Could you please rate each as a sell or hold? I hold ZEO in my TFSA if that make a difference. Would you swap any for a US oil company and/or a US Oil and Gas ETF? Thank you.

Q: Hello
I have ARX and ALA and some Tou (3 storks)
as natural gas has done well, my holdings do not seem to be able to match Peyto energy
wonder if you can add another name besides the 3 that I have to take advantage of the natural gas prices
thanks

My question is could you recommend another 8-10 Cdn dividend stocks($ 100K of room) I would add to this account coming from another TFSA,these could possibly have 4-6 % capitol growth and 4-6% dividend yield and in 3 years I would go from a DRIP to monthly or quarterly cash payments,I am medium risk and the sectors would not matter ….Thanks Greg
