Q: A portion of the fun part of my portfolio has been directed towards speculative mining stocks. I have employed a basket approach which involves taking relatively small initial positions. Some have worked out, but as a result I am left with a number of stocks that are insignificant in value. I would like to clear these out and consolidate the proceeds. Do you have one or two small cap names to suggest that show promise. Thank you.

Q: Hello,
Gibsons tempting at yield of over 7%.
Price relatively sideways between $15 - $20 over last 2+ years.
I don't mind holding just for income but:

1) Is Dividend safe?
2) What is keeping stock price in this sideways pattern and is there an even small chance of growth?
3) Buy, Sell or Hold?
4) Do some analysts say "Hold" as a polite way of saying "Sell"?

Many thanks.

Q: I follow your growth portfolio (with a long term horizon) and own some RRX shares (very small position). So obviously we are both down on this one. Unless there is another offer, am I correct in assuming that you will wait for the best price you feel you can get for RRX to minimize overall impact to the growth portfolio? If so, I'm thinking that selling my RRX shares when you do (i.e. after you issue a change to the growth portfolio) is probably the best course of action. Essentially, I'm looking for clarification on how to use 5i's service effectively now and in the future. Thank you.

Q: Parex has initiated a strategic review for sale of one asset - perhaps the entire business. Yesterday, market original reaction was positive. Today down sharply. You indicated in an earlier comment this was a positive development. I cannot find any new news on this story to warrant the sell off.

What are your thoughts? This company is well managed, no debt and huge cash balance, long life assets, and still reasonably valued. This is not like Spartan or Raging River where consolidation needs to take place. New pro business government in Columbia without pipeline issues. What gives here? If you held this name would sell, hold or buy more?

Q: What is your opinion on CQP for a long term hold. I see a lot of analysts have a buy rating on it.

Q: Hi team,
I hold these 4 stocks in my portfolio for my energy sector. Is this too much and if so, which one should I dump? All 4 total about 8% of my portfolio.
Thanks

Q: I had hopes that oil would claw its way back up with the sentiment turning positive over the last few weeks but it seems like this latest push higher has reversed. I'm down big on RRX and PEY - should I hold them until after earnings or get out now before they get dragged lower? What is your opinion on oil over the next year? Thanks!

Q: Hi team, I don't have much energy exposure and am looking to add this to the portfolio. I am looking for something that has some growth potential as well as income. I was thinking about VET or WCP, which of these 2 do you prefer right now, or are there others that you would recommend.
Thanks
