Q: Hello:
RE: XLE Energy Select Sector SPDR (ETF)
(This ETF does not appear in your dropdown menu).

With the price of oil dropping today to the $49 level,
my position in XLE is down 10 % since I purchased mid Nov 2016.
I also hold SPE & PXT in my TFSA; my total Energy exposure is just over 4.5% of my total holdings.
What are your thoughts on XLE with regard to having it as a core holding in the energy space ? Would you recommend a Canadian energy ETF instead (i.e. ZEO) ?
My risk tolerance is medium to high, am looking for growth.
I purchased this ETF after Nov 8th and researched the "Trump" factor.
Appreciate your input ... thanks, Steve.

Q: Hello team.

Which company would you prefer for long term hold?
Taking in to consideration the volatility of oil prices going forward

Thanks,

Q: The sale announced by WEQ seems like it will make a substantial dent in their debt but I don't know the degree to which it will affect their revenue or profits. What is your opinion? If sale goes through will debt become manageable while leaving reasonable opportunity for revenue generation?

Q: Good Morning. Would like your assessment of Gibson's recent earnings report along with your current opinion of this company and the "safety" of its dividend. Also, any comments you might have in regard to the oil space in general in light of recent reports about the drastically improving metrics for solar energy, and therefore long term pressure on fossil fuels as the primary energy source. Thank you.

Q: Watched Brent Cook on BNN yesterday and he thinks junior explorers are the place to be in the coming year. I don't have anywhere near the expertise to pick my own and most ETF's and the like focus on producers. Do you know of a closed end fund or ETF that is slanted to the explorers. Thanks
