Q: Like most people, I'm down in the energy sector and not seeing much hope on the horizon. I hold VET, TOU and RRX. With VET I at least have a good dividend while I wait for a recovery but with TOU and RRX there is no dividend. Perhaps you think the other 2 will "bounce back" faster when there is a recovery and are worth holding anyway?

I'm inclined to keep 5% of my portfolio in energy but sell TOU and RRX and put the funds into VET or another dividend producing stock while I wait for the energy sector to recover. Does this seem like a good plan? Would having my energy funds in US companies be better?

If I do this change, do you have suggestions for Canadian or US dividend producing energy stocks? Thanks.

Q: I have recently purchased ENB, having owned TRP for a number of years. I need to do some sector adjusting and these two jump out as overlapping industries in my RRSP. I would anticipate holding one or the other mid to longer term. Which of these two do you feel would offer longer term opportunity? If I were to sell ENB, I would not be in a rush and would sell on opportunity if it spiked a few dollars north of where they are today and enjoy dividend in the meantime.

Q: Hello 5i team,

Am a break even CWC shareholder and participated in the $0.20 rights offering last month. Just went through their presentation PDF from a conference today.

With service sector performing better in the US and oil patch guys getting more $$, might there finally be interest in this company controlled by BAM?

Thanks, Alan

Q: Hi.
Looking for ETF exposure to CDN junior and intermediate sized oil weighted producers and wondering what your favourite pick is. I went through the screening process in a couple of my brokerage accounts but did not find anything that stimulated a buy decision. If you could also offer up your top 3-4 individual stock picks that would meet the criteria that would be appreciated- I might just make my own "mini-fund" instead.
Best Regards

Q: Happy new years to you guys at 5iresearch!!! I hold positions in all of these and they have been dogs for about a year now. I am a fairly long term investor and I am wondering when I am going to see some up side to these as the oil sector seems to be recovering. Or would you suggest to let them go? Thanks for your time

Q: I see PEY is down 5% this morning and I am looking for your opinion on it as a long term hold. I have a full position in PEY (showing a big loss) and was expecting to see it bounce back somewhat in the New Year with tax loss selling off the table. I have always confidently felt PEY was a best in class NG producer with low production costs and strong management. Is it being taken to the woodshed strictly based on investors hating the sector or is there something specific about PEY making investors nervous? Am I wrong to be losing confidence in this investment?

Q: Can you recommend a natural gas producer. Prefer in Canada and does not utilize fracking to extract the gas due to the negative views and risk of laws coming in to prevent it. As well a company that refines the natural gas and another that transports it. The best in each sector unless one does all three.
