Investment Q&A

Q: What would be your 3 top picks in the Canadian oil/gas sector?
Top etf inthe same sector?
Thank you

Q: Hi,

These are my energy holdings with TOU 2.7%, TVE 0.61% and WCP 0.48%. They've pretty much been flat for the last three years. Other than the dividends and special div's that TOU pay, what is the thesis for holding or adding to energy currently? I know valuations are low, but what will be the catalyst to get them moving again other than higher energy prices? I have TVK as well at a 3.9% holding and have included that in my energy allocation as well and its been a big winner. Looking at opportunity costs here from holding these energy names vs other names.

Thanks!

Q: What is the best way to invest in natural gas?

Q: Can you provide some background on this company’s special dividends and what to expect in future? How do you view this kind of less committed program of cash return when valuing a company?

Q: Gentlemen:
Favorite Gas Company in Canada and US
Favorite land holding Co for Canada and US
Overall Favorite Canada and US company for widows and orphans.
Great Service… Thanks -Jim

Q: Hi Peter,
I want to invest in a large cap energy stock that is well run, with solid balance sheet and generate increasing free cash flow. Valuation is lower than peers with lots of upside for capital gain. I’m debating between SU, CNQ and CVX. Which one of these would you pick and why? Or if there is another better candidate? Thanks.

Q: Hello,

I understand Warren Buffett recently purchased OXY and I was wondering if you might share a rationale that would favor this stock versus CNQ, TOU,IMO or other CAD producers trading at approx. equally low 52 week levels, with higher mkt cap, dividends and dividend growth.

Thank you and all the best to you and your families in 2025.

Q: Both TOU and ARX have access to LNG producers through contracts already in place. Do you see these contracts as any kind of hedge or insurance against possible US tariffs on natural gas?

I'm a big believer in the future of natural gas, and therefore hold these companies as my second and fourth largest holdings. Do you like any other Canadian gas producers better than these two?

Q: Happy New Year Everyone. Thanks so much for your much appreciated service. I have $10,000 to deploy in an RESP account for three grandchildren with a 10-15 yr time horizon. What are three new stock ideas along with suggestions on what current stocks I could add to assuming they are equal weightings. Current stocks: AEM, ARX, BN, CSU, ENB, IFC, LMN, RY, TD, TOU, TRI, TVE and WSP. Thanks.

Q: Can you please provide two or three of the best Canadian natural gas producers. Also if there is an etf available please include that.
Happy New Year

Q: All went way up today big time. Your ideas. Cheers

Q: I don't have any exposure to energy and wanted to know what your views are for the sector going forward. In the current market environment, what percentage of your portfolio would YOU invest in it? Your top stocks for growth? Would the 4 stocks mentioned be good candidates? Thanks in advance.

Q: Tourmaline has a contract to supply LNG.How many years are left and at what price.Will this contract have a huge impact on TOU if not renewded. I know that Nat Gas is driving their sales.With TPZ being seperate are they well positioned to continue their dividends. 5i has rated TOU a best in class stock which I own and have small investment in Cheniere.. 5i does future hold well for the stocks if recession appears in 2025 or 2026.

Q: I have these stocks in my TFSA. How would you rate them for growth and dividend.

Q: Hi 5i. bought TVE in Jan 2022 @ 4.58. It has just now gotten back to break-even.
Thinking of selling TVE and replacing with TOU.
Your thoughts on this move would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Terry

Q: I have TOU shares have done well. Should I also buy TPZ with annouced inv' t today TOU selling shares. Stay the course? Tks 5i

Q: I own both ARX and TOU for gas exposure. Both appeared to me to provide good results yesterday. Today, ARX up strongly on volume, TOU down strongly on Volume. What did I miss in the earnings of TOU?

Thank you very much for excellent service.

Q: Good morning, I accept virtually every expert’s opinion that Tourmaline is a great company with great management, but I’m trying to figure out given all the current conditions if it is a good stock/investment? I know they are returning lots of earnings through special dividends but the share price has been sideways for many years. There seems to be some doubt about the positive impact of the new LNG facility, and if the US unleashes new supply (as in “drill baby, drill”) the glut may not be going away anytime soon. If you had enough O&G exposure, would you still find it a compelling investment for the medium term, or would you deploy the capital elsewhere (no tax implications)? Suggestions (any sector)? Thanks for your thoughts.

Q: I would like to buy two oil stocks with attractive valuations and good returns in 2-3 years
They can be Canadian or US
Which two would you recommend ?
Would SLB or HAL be good choices at present valuations
What are your choices?
Ty as always

Q: In a portfolio with banks at 42% (TD, and National), energy at 35% (TC, Sobo, and Tourmaline) and consumer discretionary 16% (ATD), what companies would you suggest diversifying into? This is my husband's account and he buys and holds. He will be selling Telus and needs some options for telecommunications and more. Could he be more diversified? He is asking my advice but I appreciate hearing from you.

Many thanks.
