Q: Hi there, I am interested in following your Balanced Equity Model and will be purchasing all 20 of the names in the portfolio and had a few questions. Do I purchase 5% in each of the 20 names, or following the allocation in your provided spreadsheet? And I am going to be splitting up the portfolio between my TFSA and RRSP- about a 12 names in my TFSA and 8 in my RRSP, could you please recommend which you would purchase in each account for optimal potential returns? Thanks and have a great day!

Q: Dear 5i team:
I would like to consolidate my rather scattered (but half decent I think !) energy stocks as that sector seems to be coming alive.
I have ARX,CNQ,SU,ERF,HSE,CPG,HWO. Any suggestions which ones to sell and buy more in this list? If you think I am better off with some other stock(s)from the energy sector, can you highlight them for me? I buy dividend payers mostly though these folks have cut their dividends!
Thank you for your measured response as always!

Q: With input from Newalta's year end report (March), would you recommend holding NAL for the chance of a turn-around when oil prices recover or sell NAL and move on? As you've said the risk of a profile has changed. My NAL position is now 0.1% of the portfolio and down 86%.

Thanks for your excellent insights.

Q: Hello, I don't understand why oil continues to go up when there hasn't been any good news and there is more oil in storage than ever before? Stocks like BTE and WLL are up between 12 and 18 percent today. Is this an example of the market not making any sense? Or is there a good reason for the rally?

Q: Hi Peter and team - Could you comment on the recent agreement between Bankers Petroleum and Albania. Do you think that this is likely to have positive results and if so what might the timeline be. From your previous comments it would seem that BNK has the ability to pull through in the event low energy prices continue for a while but that the impasse with the Albanian government was a major concern. Also when I checked insider ownership with INK it seemed to be very low. Do you know what the insider holdings actually are. Thanks.
