Q: I am on the sidelines right now. If the market drops significantly I will buy back in. If it does drop enough for me, which 6 oil and gas stocks would you buy? Majors, micro, US, Canadian. It does not matter to me.

Q: Hi 5i Team, could you provide some clarity please.

Josef Schachter of Schachter's Eye on Energy, recently made this statement, among others, in respect to fallout from the EU/Russia energy issues. I am trying to understand exactly how this could manifest into a colossal crises. Can you expand on the following quote and provide a better explanation. In your opinion, is there any merit to the quote? Thanks:

"Margin calls are being faced by energy producers in Europe. Norwegian giant Equinor sees energy trading desks needing US$1.5T to meet margin calls. This could be worse than the Lehman incident in 2008. The problem is not with the physical markets but with the derivatives market. This is a financial crisis of much greater magnitude than the Global Financial Crisis of 2008-2009 (GFC)."

Q: Hi 5i team.
about 6 weeks ago sold AQN for a tax loss and increased position in FTS and bought some BEPC on top of BEP.UN as I am thinking of switching to BEPC to make life less complicated tax wise.
Problem (and a good one to have) is that I have a large capital gain in BEP.un.

Utilities portions as total of all portfolio.
BEP.UN is about 2%
BEPC about 1%
Fortis about 2%
Polaris about 1%

Question is what to sell or reduce to add in AQN back at about 2%?
Would you suggest a different mix?
I like the dividends and am OK w slow to moderate growth - retiree and looking at conservative ongoing investment. (I like all of these stocks.)

I am willing to pay some taxes as I worry about the capital gains tax rate rising at some point under our current government.
Subtract as many questions as needed.
Thank you.

Q: 3 questions

What is the annual return for ENB since it went public when you include dividends & largest drawdown?

Would a 20% position in ENB for a retired person looking for income make sense?

What are the 5 safest Canadian & US stocks that would provide the best protection against drawdowns?

Q: Hi Team,
With the recent slump in some of these oil names, do you see a name like WCP being bought out by a bigger company such as CVE that operate in some of the same area? You would think M&A would start happening with valuations where they are on some of these names. CVE with a P/E of 10.9, and WCP only having a P/E of a mere 2.0 (according to my trading platform numbers). This all being said, is it time to buy some of these high quality mid cap oil names that have been hit recently? Your comments are appreciated.

Q: I have an account where income and safety of capital are the primary objectives, though a bit of growth is also helpful. I presently have Capital Power which has done well in recent months. Since it has been somewhat flat during the same period, I wonder if a switch to Algonquin offers a chance to have the same primary objectives but a bit more opportunity for some appreciation. If it were you, would you make that change, and why or why not? Thank you for your excellent service.
