Investment Q&A

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

Q: i originally bought CVE and CPG for dividends and they represent 2% of my portfolio (1% each). I have a few SU shares as part of the COS deal. Now that CVE and CPG have substantially reduced or eliminated their dividends I was considering selling CVE and CPG and buying more SU. My intention is to streamline (reduce) my number of holdings, upgrade the overall quality while keeping my overall energy exposure whole. I also own CVX and CNQ.

Q: I would appreciate your thoughts on Mullen Group. I am not sure i fully understand their Q1-2016 comments about strength of trucking business. Yes, OIBDA for trucking is better year over year, but their revenue actually declined for this segment as well. would like to know your thoughts on company's debt, current share price, their survival chances if oil remains at or below current price for next year or so.
At what price would you recommend buying the stock?

Q: I'm keen to watch top managed companies in totally out of favor sectors, to buy when business conditions improve. I'm not looking for a relief rally on overlevered stocks for a short-term profit, but rather for stocks I can hold for a signifiant time as business conditions improve. BDI is one of the companies I'm interested in.
What would be the signs that BDI is a good "risk-return" story? What do I look for?

Q: Thinking of dipping my toe back in the energy sector. Many co's stocks have made significant moves already, even following last weekends failed agreement. Vermillion seems to be well regarded, is 50% off it's high and yet hasn't jumped, so would this be a good choice? Are there others similarly lagging the early leaders that are worth considering.
Thanks Peter.

Q: I have a good proportion of my portfolio in the US, so its value is very dependent on the US$/CAN$ exchange rate. Now I would like to increase my investment in energy with a view to a hedge against the rising CAN$. Can you recommend two reliable dividend paying stocks whose value is highly correlated to the CAN$, and which preferably have some growth potential too. I already own SU and CNQ.
Thanks for your help.
Chris
