Q: Hi: I am sitting with 5.10% of my portfolio in VNR and 3.99% of my portfolio in GEI. Wondering if it is a good idea to sell some VNR thereby reducing the holdings to 3.19% and buy GEI raising my holdings in this stock to 5.80%. By making this move I can increase my income by $1.00 a day over the present. Thank You.

Q: Hi Peter & Ryan,
I'm a little overweight in the Energy sector and was wondering if I could have your thoughts on Trinidad Drilling. Would you be a seller or would you hold on to this one? Thanks. Mario.

Q: Since the oil downward spiral starting 8/2014 I have gradually reduced my energy stocks from about 15 down to just one name - CJ. In spite of the analysts' ongoing optimistic support this stock continues to be depressed. In fact, just this week, when it comes down to selling either SGY (a known under performer) or CJ, I opted for SGY since I can salvage more of my original investment.
Anyway, why is CJ continues to underperform so much? And what catalysts you can see that can pull CJ out of this slump?
Thanks for your insight.

Q: My understanding on the ownership of the common shares is that 70% is controlled by insiders who take their dividend by DRIP. The dividend is now at over 13%. At this rate, they will continually dilute the 30% of us who take the divy in cash. In addition the debt levels are dangerously high. Am I flogging a dead horse here?

Q: These stocks are about 10% of my portfolios. To reduce risk and to improve cash flow I would like to increase utilities to 20%. Is this a good time to add to this group since most candidates are expensive and interest rate sensitive. Could I have your recommendations?
Thank you, Werner

Q: All things considered, which is the "better" buy at this point ENB or FTS. Does the share price rise in ENB make FTS the better opportunity? I realize there is integration risk with acquisitions for both.
Also, is Loblaw a pretty good "buy" with today's drop?
Thank you.

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: I have just received 78,270 common shares in exchange for my $10,000 C.V.- a small portion of my diversified portfolio. In your opinion are these worth holding, or are they headed for oblivion?
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
