Investment Q&A

Q: Hi group what do you think about loading up on Natural gas producers (assuming the changes in being able to export LNG to Europe will drive much higher top line growth? I like and own... ARX + TOU what do you think? please list in order of preference ... 6 stocks that will or should benefit from the changes in LNG/ when would you expect the change to occur is it late this year or? Thanks

Q: Considering taking a position (up to 2%) in a dividend paying oil/gas company, and looking at FRU or WCP. Could I get your comments on the royalty structure vs a producer, as well as a comparison of the metrics such as payout percentage, debt, guidance, etc. Do you have a preference, and would you even consider adding an oil producer at this time. I have some ETFs with small positions in some oil companies, but no direct holdings of my own.
Thank-you

Q: Hi. I have an RESP for three grandkids, ages 5, 7 and 9. Current holdings that I'm underwater on are: AEM, BCE, BN, NTR and TVE along with these: ARX, BAM, CSU, ENB, RY, TD and TOU. I'd appreciate your overall comments on account re sector allocation and any obvious sells. As well, I'd like suggestions on how to deploy $7000 cash. Thx.

Q: Hi guys at 5 i's

I know that nat gas prices are in the doldrums and if this mild winter continues nat gas is not going to get much of a bid. But Tourmaline TOU is getting down into the mid $50 again and the last year or more whenever it gets back down there it usually doesn't take long to go back to the mid $60's. I own a core position in TOU because of the dividends and the chance that if nat gas goes up for some reason (problems in exporting LNG from Qatar/freaky cold weather, etc.) that TOU will rock upwards. Still I am tempted to trade some additional shares of TOU. I was doing that with ARX but sold out of ARX in the $21.50 range not long ago and I am waiting for a under $20 share price on ARX to get back in. Where do you think TOU might bottom out if nat gas stays low all year because I can't see it going much below the mid $45 range.

Q: In regards to the comment of the energy sector being very very cheap.
If you had zero exposure to the energy sector, and only cared about total return and growth.
What would be your 4 top picks to research?

Q: I have these companies in my tfsa and and I have $7000 to add. How would you rate them right now.

Q: I own these energy stocks and some are on the plus side and others are on the losing side. I've been waiting for quite some time for the Chinese economy to take off, but it seems to go nowhere ? I would like to trim some of my holdings. Please place them in order of what you would keep down to some you would let go. Maybe you could code them as 10 being the best and 1 as being the worst. Thanks.

Q: I gambled on these 4 energy stocks last year and other than Pine Cliff Energy I'm down around about 1/3. I'm thinking of averaging down. What would you do if you owned these 4?

Q: Hi group in light of the new export rules for LNG exports in the US would you sell ARC (750 shares) and replace it with TOU?(in theory TOU should have much better upside. Your thoughts please

Also should I trim LMN + TOI they are both sitting around 10 % of my portfolio...I recently trimmed BYD with the hope that on a pullback i can buy back all 3...What would be good levels to buy back in ...Thanks for your help

Looking for entry to Industrials, Materials, Health, Financials Consumer staples, Tech, Communications what's your top 2 picks in each sector. Could you please provide short explanation on why you are picking them

Deduct credits as necessary...thanks

Q: thinking of bottom fishing energy with bias to natgas , which producers
would you consider most undervalued.
thanks

Q: Hi 5i,
I have about 15K that I want to put into my RSP before the February deadline and then immediately invest for a minimum 5 year hold to accumulate capital gain and dividend income. Currently I'm considering TOU or DIR.UN for this, and would appreciate your thoughts about the relative merits of each for this use of the funds, and which one you think will outperform the other on a total gain basis in that time period - based on just the standard ups, downs and risks that are out there and not taking into account any potential calamitous economic events.
Thanks!
Peter

Q: Are there any particularly compelling resource stocks that are worth buying currently. I have zero exposure to commodities and I am fine with that, but I am open to your recommendations, either CAD or US. I am a moderate-to-agressive investor.

Thank you.

Q: Can you provide me with your analysis of Journey Energy please? Price has gone down more than other O&G plays. WIll continue to hold this if the fundamentals are good. Can they do well with WTI at this price?
Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter
I have a partial position
for exposure to oil and gas sector; some dividend and hopefully cap gains, 3 years hold
for the recent pull back of TOU
as some of your answers re: question to the above, the sector has pulled back

what is a good entry price?
I am patient

thanks
Michael

Q: Hi 5i team. What do you make of Tourmaline's January 14 news regarding their EP activity update and dividend news? The stock has been taking quite a kicking today. Can you shed any light on why the market is down on this name? Thanks.

Q: What is keeping TOU at these prices? I would like to buy some shares but can't see its value at present gas prices. Is it that we are presently experiencing winter in North America. Should one chase the price or wait for a pull back? At what price would 5i feel is a good entry?

Thank you

Q: Hi,

I am wanting to start a position int TOU but need to raise the cash. Below is where I am thinking of raising the cash.

I have positions in the following:

ENB 6.35 % ( I do not want to sell)
SU 1.33% ( Sell Full position)
TRP 1.13 % (Sell Full Position)

That leaves me with KEY at 4.22% and PPL at 2.78% To get my 5% weighting in TOU I can decide on whether to sell PPL or KEY.

Your thoughts? Does it make sense?

Jimmy

Q: Would you be able to provide information on which companies are expected to benefit the most from exporting their natural gas through the west coast LNG? What is the expected timing for this benefit to show up in their financial results?
Thank you

Q: Peter

You received a question about Tourmaline exporting gas to western Canada LNG facilities. They are a partner of Rockies LNG group which is trying to do just that: rockieslng.com

Q: Hi 5i,
A question regarding TOU:
I've reviewed its website - very impressive and informative by the way! - and can't find any indication that TOU intends to send gas to the Canadian west coast for export as LNG. All gas it markets for LNG export seems to go through the US to the east coast or the Gulf.
I'm wondering if I understand this correctly and, if so, why wouldn't TOU take advantage of west coast LNG facilities in Canada and is it missing out by not doing so? (I know the TOU management is very smart so if they don't send gas to our west coast there's no doubt good reason - but I don't know what it might be ...).
Thanks for any insight you're able to provide.
Peter
