Investment Q&A

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

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: I'm thinking of selling these 2 for tax loss selling but want to buy something else right now to replace them in case energy goes up. I already own Vermillion. What might you suggest?

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.

Q: Hi,
Unfortunately I bought some of these energy stocks back in 2014 and I am down +30% on all of these. I have just over a 5% weight currently in energy (not including ALA, ENB and TRP which I've included as part of utilities). Which do you think I should continue to hold and which ones should I just throw in the towel and sell?? I am a long term growth investor.

Q: What are your thoughts on Mammoth Energy Service (TUSK)? Although it is a young American oilfield service provider it seems to be doing the right thing in vertically integrating their operations so they can provide frack sand from their own mines and pressure pump it into wells with their own equipment and even cement the well. Is this are a smart idea or should smaller companies just try to concentrate on one part of the horizontal/fracking boom.
