Q: Which of the above companies do you see leading the race into the transition into clean energy in the future. Some probably already hold exciting knew patents on future forms of clean energy. Maybe also a good opportunity now to buy them as they trade lower with the price of oil.

Q: Good afternoon;
Do we know the significance of today's BC court ruling. I am guessing that any new pipeline will still need all the environmental approvals and indigenous consultations but BC is not allowed to just forbid hydrocarbons from entering the province.
Thanks

Q: You have noted that sector weakness is a factor in the decline in this equity due to long term factors weakening the oil price. Two questions - I) how much of our sector weakness is due to the price differential suffered by Canadian operators from the inability to get their product to world markets, and ii) while in the long run oil pricing may weaken for the reasons stated, the current situation - both short and medium term - appear likely to support the price of oil, perhaps as a minimum, Can you comment please.

Q: Wow, oil stocks are taking a whollop today, is this slide justified? Or, do you think this is a good day to jump into oil for a short term hold. I bought these stocks in December and sold in April for a 15% gain, and might consider again. Or, does it look like this downward trend is going to continue.

Q: Hi, was thinking of buying some IPL for some income and growth (50-50). What are your thoughts on company as far as debt,management ,and future stability, when we have a market correction.
Would hold for longer term 3-4+ years. Or would ENB be a better option with lower dividend.
Thanks

Q: With the most recent slide I am sitting on a $3000 loss in VET, my only full position in Energy, also have a half position in Meg. For tax planning I'm considering selling VET. Do you have a recommendation for a replacement Energy company with a similar yield to replace, or would you sit in cash for 30 days and repurchase VET ?
