Q: Hi Ryan, I've held theses two companies from 2012 when they were doing well, in your opinion what would it take for oil to get back to a level where these two companies would not be worth selling or is it even worth waiting. BTE is a .52% and CPG 2.07% weighting in this RRSP stock account. Thanks, Nick

Q: Could I get an opinion on "Timing the Market" vs "Protecting my Capital"? If I use my RRX position as an example, I have a good company but with big oil industry head winds. I am in at about $9 on the stock (2.5% position at the time so less now). There were a number of "new 52 week lows" where technically I "should" have sold but I held onto the "quality" company.
Basically, whats a good strategy to prevent large losses in these type of situations when they come along----trade technically, or use a stop loss strategy, or other? No single stock more than %3-%5 of my portfolio is helping in this RRX example.

Q: Hi 5i: I have two oil stocks (RRX and TOG) and two nat gas stocks (BIR and TOU). I want to reduce this to one oil and one nat gas. Which two would you suggest I sell, and why? Thanks again for your great advice.

Q: May I have your comments on Parex Resources Q2 release.
My reading is positive on all metrics, but I have no idea what estimates were or street expectations. A 6% drop on the release seems overdone? Am I missing something?
I have a small (1%), recent position, in my TFSA, so 6% isn't overly worrying, but does it illustrate growing unease among investors?

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, & Co.,
Keyera sold off today, I assume after the market reacted to the latest earnings reported yesterday. Can you comment on the most recent quarter's results? I've watched other energy infrastructure companies like IPL, ENB & ALA sell off considerably recently - are these great buys now, or is the entire sector in long-term decline?
Thanks,
Brian

Q: I took a 5.3% position in VET last January and as of today am down 30%. (My only other oil stock is TOG at 3% weight and down 16%) I like the European holdings and dividend of VET but am getting nervious. I don't think I should buy more while it is on this very long downtrend since I bought it. Do you still like VET? Any hope for a recovery? It seems to be making money at current European prices. Why is the stock treated so badly?
What is your recommendation? I appreciate your thoughts?
Thanks, Dick
