Q: I have held CNQ for a long time and still show a good profit. Knowing that it's not your favourite energy company, could you please give me your current opinion of it? And which ones you prefer over it?

Regarding PHM I'd like to tell Patrick that I feel his pain. I bought this at $1.42 in my TFSA and it's still sitting there.

Thanks to all at 5i for your usual good service.

Q: Can I have your thoughts on Frontline. It is on an upswing lately and shows a 15% dividend which is usually a red flag. In looking at the stock could you justify a "BUY"?

Thanks,

Q: I hold Husky in an unregistered account. At some point in 2016 I plan to crystallize the capital loss and invest the proceeds in Magna. Would this be an appropriate time to make the switch. HSE has improved some over the last week, whereas MG has remained flat. Is there any reason why that trend might continue?
Thanks
David

Q: Hi Peter and Team - In a question today which asked you to decide on which oil and gas stocks you would keep out of a list of several, I noticed that Surge was not on the list of keepers. Is this just because the others were better or do you have concerns about Surge at this point. From previous answers it sounds like Surge is on the right track to recover with higher oil prices. Does this remain the case. Also could you give me an update on insider ownership and your opinion of management. Thanks.

Q: I currently have 6 oil and gas stocks in a well diversified portfolio (PEY,RE,SU,SGY,TOU,WCP) and would like to high grade the list to 3-4 names by either selling some or all of them and replacing them with other names if necessary. What would you suggest? Thanks and keep up the excellent work.

Q: Hello. In the summer of 2014 I owed 5 oil stocks (PEY, VET, MEG, BTE and SGY) but saw the oil market changing and a year or so later I owed only one (White Cap). I was happy but maybe a little too pleased with myself because I was slow to recognize oil’s bottoming and have missed out. I still own WCP and am looking for 2 or 3 oil ideas to compliment it. I think the companies that have bought assets during this downtown will ultimately be the winners but really my only criteria is that these ideas should be decently liquid names. Thank you
