Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: WTO is under $50 US and were in tax loss season. Now that blood is in the streets I'd like to add some energy names to a non- registered income portfolio. I'm looking for names that have SECURE dividends above 5% and liquidity as well as some growth prospects. Can you provide me with your 3 top picks in this space?. I should mention I already own ENB.
Thank You.

Q: Thanks for the response to my MEG question. I have some MEG stock, and am unsure how to proceed given that it is trading at a $13 discount to the offer. Is it likely that the discount will narrow as the Jan 16 date approaches? Suggestions on what to do would be most welcome. Thanks for your always good advice. Roland

Q: Good morning Peter, Ryan, and team,

A BNN contributor recently said: "Natural gas will become the best performing commodity and this is clearly being seen by the sharp rise the NYMEX natural gas, as low inventories and colder winter weather affect demand."

Do you agree with this assessment, and if so, what stock(s) do you recommend to take advantage of this trend? Our only energy holdings are ENB and PKI.

Thanks as always for your valued advice.

Q: I just sold my final energy stock last week for tax-loss, VET, so I'm out of the sector right now and wonder if it's a good time to reenter. I sold these two stocks in the summer, and see they are way down from where I sold. Are they still considered good companies, and do you think there is some growth in the stocks in 2019? Are the dividends considered secure? Thanks!

Q: Hi 5i team,

From this evenings news:

"CALGARY, Alberta, Dec. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Highlights (all dollar amounts US dollars, unless otherwise noted):

Parex Resources Inc. (“Parex” or the “Company”) (TSX:PXT) announces today that its strategic repositioning review process has been completed and did not result in an acceptable proposal;"

The article goes on to discuss 2018 results (good) and 2019 guidance (good) and plans for massive share buybacks at what mgmt appears to believe is a hugely discounted stock price.

Considering the beating this stock has taken lately and the above news, how do you feel about a new position in this company?

Q: Hello Team, re; EVA
Further to my earlier question on this company, if this security is held in an registered account, is the dividend still taxed differently?

Q: Parex has been on a continual decline. The possibility now of a sale of their mature assets before year end does not look good. As their share price is now very cheap I plan on increasing my holding. If there is no sale with their existing assets there would still be a considerable increase in cash flow in 2019 based on $70-75 Brent.
Your opinions please?
