Q: In a recent answer to a question on an oil company, you mentioned that it is hard to be optimistic on a company if you don't like the management team. So my question is, which of the management teams in the oil sector would you want to align yourself with, and why? Alternatively, which of the management teams would you not align yourself with? Please deduct as many credits as necessary to fully answer my question. Thank You.

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I had a significant position with BXE. Of course with there ...I think you call it "reverse split"...I was almost wiped out.
Trading was halted for a few weeks and now they are not listed at all. Can you provide any information about the status of this company and if share holds have any value left? Thanks!

Q: 8 months ago, most people I know owned something in the cannabis sector
and those who didn't told me they missed a generational opportunity. Since then, the sector fell 65%. Many were wrong, including the management of Constellation,
who bought 38% of Canopy. Could market participants be just as wrong with energy right now? Aren't sector bottoms supposed to "feel" like this? In your answer, could you tell us if there has ever been a sector on the Toronto stock exchange that got destroyed similar to the current energy sector, and whether or not fund managers were also selling? A sector that later returned close to its previous highs? (ps: I wish I could find videos showing what was said close to bottoms back in 2001 and 2009).

Q: Good day 5i, do you believe the energy sector will ever recover and if so would this be a good time to start small positions considering most companies are at their lowest valuations in history? Thx in advance

Q: Hello,
Reading back through your comments on Baytex, it appears you are not large fans.. However, in the last question, you mention it has strong free cash flow yield.. I understand that you don't trust the management team, but in this environment where all management teams are in survival mode and paying down debt or buying back shares, don't you want to align with the best free cash flow companies?
Thanks,

Q: Hi 5iR Team, TD puts out a monthly consolidated report of its stock coverage universe. In the Sept. 30th report I looked at their Junior/Intermediate O&G stocks. I noticed that if I arbitrarily picked an upside % of 70% i.e. current price and TD's Target Price there were 13 stocks. The lowest was TOG at 70% upside and the highest NVA at 152%. In addition, some of the stocks like WCP and FRU are yielding 8%+. For me as an investor this is compelling data. Lastly, reading further into the report TD's O&G sector thinking as stated by their senior analyst is not Bullish. In other words TD does not appear to be exaggerating the facts, attempting to make some case for investors buying O&G stocks.........but the analysts in the field certainly feel incredibly positive on a number of Junior/Intermediate names.
How do I sort this out??
What would be 5iR's top Jr/Int. O&G picks?
Thanks team. Cheers, Chris
