Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

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: 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
