Q: Hi there,

I am in a losing position with Cardinal on what is a small level of energy exposure in my portfolio. Do you think the dividend is safe or ripe for a cut? Also, the name has fallen considerably more than RRX, WCP etc. I understand that they have more heavy oil production which may weigh on the stock. If I wished to maintain energy exposure would you suggest switching to a different producer? If so, who? I also own Spartan.

Q: I am retired living off my income from dividends.
I am down approx. 30% in each of these energy stocks. I am considering averaging down in WCP, TOG and CPG. I am aware that I am betting on O&G recovering somewhat, but the prices look attractive. Can you rate from best to worst? Are there any red flags on the balance sheets of the three?
I am considering selling HSE as they cut the dividend. Would you recommend I put the proceeds into the best of the other 3? Or invest in a more stable integrated such as SU?
