Investment Q&A

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

Q: My "loss leaders" are CPG and ERF. My gainers are SU, HSE and CNQ. (Because of the entry prices) Should I sell my "losers" CPG/ERF and plough the proceeds in SU/CNQ? Or simply hold them till the recovery in the sector takes place? Or buy HWO which I own which is in slightly positive territory? Or any other company that you would suggest in the Oil/Gas sector? Like the pipelines.
Thank you.

Q: I'm interested in investing in one small oil producer at the start up stage. My choice is down to YGR and VLE. I would appreciate your critique of these two companies in terms of growth potential left. Both companies have huge run ups recently and I would like to hear your expert's view on them. Thanks.

Do you know anything about MEA Energy Investment? Successful investing record? Passive/active? (Any history of buyouts?) AND - do we know what they paid?

Q: Currently, I am down over 50% on PEY. I don't really want to sell at the bottom but am concerned about the sustainability of the dividend. I don't necessarily need the dividend, so would it be a good move right now to replace PEY with BIR?

Q: First, I have been a member for a number of years and I could not be happier or more impressed (or wealthier) from the service and advice you provide. You have a great business idea and the fact that one can make money and learn at the same time is quite unbelievable. Continue the good work and all the best to 5i staff for the new year.

Accolades aside, I do have a question. I tend to think of my holdings in energy as being my investments in the oil industry. I know that natural gas plays a role too, though, but the price and growth of that industry don't seem to get the play that oil prices do. Should I worry if I have enough gas exposure or is following the oil industry good enough for balancing my portfolio?

Again, thanks so much for your insight and all you do.

Q: ARX seems to be weaker than peers and sector lately, any red flag(s) other than the normal year end loss selling and sector dependency?

If I decide to sell but want to stay weighted in same sector, which name should I switch to for Income? or should I just stay put?

Thanks & Happy Holidays.

Q: Hi 5i,
What do you think of the guidance issued by PONY yesterday? Does it change your view of the stock at all? I have been wondering about the impact of PONY's deals with Altagas when the new facilities are up and running. How much of a positive catalyst could that be for PONY? Thanks.
