Investment Q&A

Q: Hello, I want to invest in natural gas. If you had to choose either Tourmaline or Topaz today, which one would you invest in? The yield is 1.4% and 5.2% respectively, and my understanding is that Topaz is a more natural gas focus company than Tourmaline. Is it better to hold these companies in a registered account or not? Thank you

Q: Hello there, trying to decide which of these winners to either sell in total or sell in part. In order of first to last which would you suggest selling with perhaps some reasoning. I also have ENB but will stick with it for the foreseeable future.

Many thanks,

AL

Q: This looks super cheap. Can you provide the pro's and cons of taking a position in this company. What other 3 in this sector would you prefer with potential near term torque?

Q: With the recent pullback do you think this is a good time to acquire a position in Kelt? What is your outlook going forward and are there any companies that you would recommend instead?
Thanks for you input

Q: Hi, Oil and Gas sector has come under pressure for past two weeks, with above equities declining 20-30% from their respective highs. Volatility in oil and gas prices could be a reason and other days, it could simply be in sympathy with general markets.
This is in the backdrop of analysts forecasting very strong cash flow generation by all these companies, resulting in outsized shareholder returns and much higher equity prices. We have 10% weighting in the sector ( Not including 5.5% ENB ). Based on the geo-political, demand/supply and other relevant factors, do you believe, this sector still has legs, say another 6-12 months or longer and equities should recover over time. Also, what would cause, in your opinion, for market to change course for this sector, in near future. Thank You

Q: I have doubled my money on Tou, should I sell it or hold on?

Q: I heard to a podcast recently talking about natural gas being the key to reducing coal use. I'm curious if there any Canadian names that are primarily involved in natural gas with little involvement in crude oil? Pipeline or gas transportation companies?

Can you recommend an ETF to play natural gas in either the US or Canada?

Thanks!

Q: Dear 5i,
I currently have an approx. 3% holding in each of these energy stocks in my TFSA; TOU, SU and WCP. Do these three provide reasonable exposure to the energy sector? If there is too much overlap can you suggest which ones I might want to sell. If you think I should add more different types of energy stocks can you suggest ones to add with a 3% weighting. Thanks for all your help.

Q: After the large run-up in oil & gas stocks, would now still be a reasonable time to invest in them and, if so, what would be your top 3 picks for dividend plus growth, US and Cdn? Thank you.

Q: Can I please get your outlook on the energy sector, and the holdings above- how would you rank them for a 1 year hold, would the ranking change for a 5 year hold?
There is the view that energy will come back to represent a larger % of the index again.

Q: What is your opinion of this ETF for a core long term holding for exposure to the oil and gas industry? Is the MER high/low in your opinion. What alternatives if any would you suggest? Thanks

Q: On a question regarding WELL you indicated, the appetite for growth stocks driven by acquisition, with sub $700 million cap have just about 0% appetite right now. If you ture that around, what is there an appetite for now and please give me 5 examples of Canadian companies and American companies that meet those requirements. Thanks.

Q: Can you give your opinion regarding natural gas in terms of price appreciation and can you recommend two US and two Canadian natural gas companies with good upside
Thanks

Q: Which company has the most potential and which do you prefer.

Q: I am thinking of buying these companies in my tfsa account in equal weights. Do you have any concern with any of these companies and would you be able to rank them in order of possible upside? Thank you

Q: Can you recommend a few unhedged names that would benefit most from a continued price increase in natural gas

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

Two questions; please deduct credits accordingly.

Question 1 - I plan to sell one ETF (HXS) and two stocks (SJ & TCN) for a tax loss and then buy them back after 30 days. Please suggest proxies for each that I could buy as a replacement for the 30 days. These are held in a margin account.

Question 2 - I own WCP in my RRIF, and find that its volatility is harder for me to handle than I had thought. (Its beta is 3.26). Now that I'm in the black with it, I was thinking of two alternatives; selling WCP and adding to an existing profitable position in TOU (beta = 1.62), or starting a new position in XOM (beta = 1.07). XOM would increase my US exposure which needs to be increased, according to Portfolio Analytics. What's your take on this strategy?

Alternative ideas for each question would be welcome, and as always, thanks for your insight.

Q: You mentioned that oil and gas was the best sectors to invest in right now. What companies would suggest that we could buy right now.
Could you name a few.
Enjoy the long weekend. Thanks, as always

Q: Looking to add your top $C four or five picks to an already diversified portfolio .
I’ve been sitting on the sidelines for a while. A bit rusty on what looks good, after the free fall. Time to start buying again???

Q: Tou announced a $1.50 special dividend payable May 19th. Do you have to own the stock up until it is paid, or only have to own on the day it was announced?
