Q: I am down 40% & 88% respectively on these two energy stocks. Should I continue to be patient in hopes of an eventual rebound or take my lumps and deploy what dollars are left into another sector that will produce some possible upside and yield.
I also hold TRP and KMI for cotinued sector balance in the portfolio.
Thanks 5i

Q: Sometime in 2013 I was looking at certain energy stocks charts like Pembina and Vermillion and thinking: "I wish I was that guy who bought it when it was 30-40% lower", because at that price, I'd not only be up a lot, but I would have a 6%+ dividend at price I paid. Now, I find myself is a situation to buy those stocks around those prices I was dreaming for, but yet, I struggle to pull the trigger: I heard Zechner, McCreath, Berman, etc that there is no reason to be bullish from here, that the rally is not justified. But then, if we wait that "things are awesome again", won't stock prices be back to ATH? Also, in the past, during pre-rally periods (2011 and 2013), were people also unsure/unconvinced it was the time to buy?

Q: I currently have half positions in these energy co.s & would like to move to full positions but am waiting on the uncertainty with the US to settle. It also appears that the OPEC production cuts are actually occurring to some extent but that they are only for a 6 month period. Given the US uncertainty & the OPEC situation I am wondering what the impacts might be on Cdn energy stocks & your thoughts on when to move to full positions, or whether the expiry of the OPEC agreement might be negative for Cdn energy? As always, thanks for your insights.

Q: I have only 1.5% of my portfolio in WCP and are looking at equal weightings of RRX, TOG and HWO so I can have the same weighting in the energy sector or the balanced portfolio which I have replicated and have full weightings on all of the other sector in that portfolio. Does this seem like a good idea as I think that diversification in a sector is good...cheers

Q: Good morning, my energy exposure CPG,SU,WCP,IPL.Thinking of selling CPG and buying PEY giving my portfolio gas exposure and almost double the dividend.TD,Royal and Scotia have a target of around 45$ for PEY which is a very nice upside.Still like it ?Or would VET be better/safer ?
I started looking in deeper at the metrics, so many ! Which ones do you consider most to base your preference on a stock. Noticed that RRX has a very high netback, low debt.
