Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team,

Do you have a recent opinion of HUC? I'm thinking of it as a way to use dividends from our other holdings to periodically buy shares, as we can buy and sell HUC at no cost with iTrade. Being underweight in the energy sector, holding only ENB and PKI, I'm thinking that it's a good way to "dip our toes" into this commodity ETF. I do understand that HUC can be volatile, and has relatively high fees, but as a managed ETF, its MER doesn't seem to me to be excessive.

Your thoughts please, and thanks in advance.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i team;

Wish you the very best for the new year.

I have ENB and PPL as my energy holdings. I am looking to add another, this time in the RRSP a/c.
Could you give me one name on the tsx , with perhaps a higher correlation to crude prices?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: After averaging down and waiting (far too long) I have entered break-even territory with this holding. There now appears to be significant momentum occurring. I am also quite overweight with this stock in a TFSA but would like to finally enjoy the benefits of price and dividend increases in the industry. Do you have any suggestions for swapping this holding for a more diversified security still expected to benefit by the uptick in energy stock values? I own no pipeline securities.

Q: Hello, recently Eric Nuttal called PXT a value trap and a chronic underperformer, and he previously owned the company. He also stated that mgmt is giving mixed messaging and needs to increase the div, do a special div, and increase buybacks. On paper I thought PXT was doing everything right. The amount of shares they have bought back and just confirmed again for 2022 is amazing. Yet year after year it doesn't get the valuation increase it deserves. As Eric says "the market does not care about PXT and there are no big buyers", despite of it having the best balance sheet and buybacks in Canadian o&g. Yes its up last year, but considerably lower than its peers, so there is the opportunity cost. My question is, do we often see companies buying back shares, great balance sheet, and doing most things right yet they never receive the valuation they should or is it a case of you need to be patient, maybe even for years to see the market eventually reward it.

Q: The listed oil and gas companies comprise a 4% weight in my portfolios. I have been dying in oil and gas for about a decade. However, not counting the capital losses I have taken over the years, the current portfolio of legacy and new acquistions is miraculously above water. I have promised myself to never again be so exposed to the world's most manipulated commodity. If I'm going to folow though on this self-promise I need to think about liquidating some of these positions. Question: in what order would you take down these positions?
Best wishes for 2022. David
