Q: Over the past few years I have purposely avoided the materials and energy sectors. By doing so I outperformed the market from 2012 to 2015. This year the market is outperforming my portfolio handily largely due to large increases in these sectors. Could you provide 3 companies in each sector that I may consider purchasing for a long term hold. I am interested in companies that pay a dividend and have some opportunity for capital appreciation.

Q: Hey 5i team, this is my first question here. I have recently finished school, and have opened a TFSA. I am looking to start a portfolio, and am willing to hold investments for up to five years. I was looking into the energy sector, and like CPG, and CVE (for growth potential), and VET (for their dividend). Would you recommend one over the other (or anything else), or would you recommend averaging between the three?
Thanks,
Mark

Q: What's the reason for the sudden decline in Painted Pony. I bought this stock around $4.50 and have enjoyed the ride to the top. Is this just people taking profit? Or is there something more fundamental going on?

Q: I have a 3.5% position in CPG, and I have a 1% position in TOU and a 2.5% position in VET. My overall exposure to energy is around 12%. I am not looking to decrease my energy exposure, but I am considering consolidating my position into fewer names. Would you consider a transition from CPG to either TOU or VET to be a sound move, and if so, which would you choose? VET offers a better dividend, but TOU is better positioned to take advantage of a rise in natural gas, which seems like a real possibility over the next 3-6 months. Thanks so much!

Q: Anything new to add on ESN ? Some of my other resource related stocks (TOU, WCP) have had a nice pop so far this year. ESN seems a bit stuck. I'd really like to keep holding for a turnaround (that I hope might come in 2017-18). I realize any recovery is likely tied to the price of oil/gas but is ESM a "healthy" company based on metrics that matter to 5i? I have 4-5 years at least.
