Q: Hello 5i
Thanks for excellent service

I am feeling a like a novice investor enticed to buy a stock destine to retreat in value. I bought into Eric Nuttel's story about subject small cap and took up a small position.........which I now see as buying at a near term top after 50% run. The story sounded plausible and the stock was below IPO price so got on board. (missed the fact there was an issue at ~ $8.35)

While I did read the couple comments already in Q&A, would you please add your current thoughts?
As an investor question, if one gets into a name and then has immediate buyer's remorse, would you get out and rethink capital deployment or just ride it out believing in the long story....if there is one?

Thanks
Dave

Q: You have indicated the payout ratio for PEY based on cash flow is 42%. Morningstar says the payout ratio is 153% for dividend and capital spending. When judging the safety of the dividend why would the capital spending not be considered? When the dividend and capital spending are not covered by cash flow is the difference made up from borrowings?
Thanks
Mike

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,
Congratulations on the revamped website which is a pleasure to use.
I recently sold ZCL which is in my TFSA. I want to invest the proceeds into another energy stock, but also want to reduce my total number of holdings since I have too many stocks for the portfolio size. Given that we own these energy stocks: ENB, PKI, and TOG, which of these would you invest the proceeds today? BTW, in your answer to another member, you suggested he sell TOG (we're also down, and I'm frustrated in general with the oil producers) so am considering selling it as well. It's in my wife's RRSP but the loss would be offset by the stellar results received from a majority of your suggestions. (Portfolio approach!)
As always, thanks for the valued advice.

Q: Hi 5i: I want to include a power utility in my portfolio. I already include the pipelines and am considering the attached list. Which of these would you recommend for a longish hold, with a focus on growth, income and of course stability. Are there other interesting names you can suggest? Many thanks.

Q: Hi, I just read an article,that said the high price at the pumps were do to the refineries getting higher margins. If that is the case,and it is not the first time I heard this, then there must be some companies in Canada that are doing really good? The oil and gas sector has been down for years, getting impatient I guess.
I was thinking of selling my energy companies WCP,PEY&TOG and replacing them with refinery or related companies for more growth.
Do you agree with this switch, and could you name two or three stock that you could recommend.
Thanks,
