Q: Hello there,
I know oil is ugly here but looking at these two. Which one has the stronger balance sheet and are there any dividend sustainability issues? Suncor literally just increased their dividend 11% last month and announced a buy back. I think they would lose a lot of credibility if they turn around and cut it now? easier not to proceed with the buy back?
thanks

Q: I have a very large position in MRU. It is proving resilient. With an interest in rebalancing my holdings and with energy so decimated, would it be a good time to take a portion of my MRU and switch to SU ? In a sense this is switching between two strong long-term retailers; Metro and Metro-Canada.
