Investment Q&A

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

Q: First, thank you for all your posted and individual guidance in 2025. It is very useful and comforting.

Fuel prices at the pump are now quite low and the Venezuela takeover has shocked the sector.

I am wondering about these 3 oil related stocks which have all dropped today. Do you see the sector going downhill and if so, what are the reasons, and whether or not a reversal of those same issues would lead to an increase in sector performance. Or is there any other new information on these stocks which could lead them to continue to slide.

Many thanks and Happy 2026 to your entire team at 5i.

Q: May I have your thoughts on QIMC? I know it is high risk but is it more than a lottery ticket? It appears Jeff Bezos is purchasing exploration rights surrounding QMIC’s holdings. For Bezos it is a “rounding error” so I wouldn’t read too much into it. Are their Hydrogen grades very good and assuming the Hydrogen can be successfully collected how would they get the gas to market?

Q: With Venezuelan crude potentially in play as an added source of supply, does holding CNQ and ARX present even a more uncertain investment? At least maybe move the sector to underweight? Like we needed more events to cloud the investment outlook.

Q: I own the BMO Equal Weight Canadian Oil and Gas Index ETF (ZEO) as well as some Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ), Tourmaline Oil (TOU), and Enbridge (ENB). All have done well. But oil prices are expected to fall in 2026 due to excess supply. Plus, with the US takeover of Venezuela, my understanding is that demand for Canadian oil could drop. Could you please rate each as a sell or hold? I hold ZEO in my TFSA if that make a difference. Would you swap any for a US oil company and/or a US Oil and Gas ETF? Thank you.

Q: Hello Peter,
Your opinion please.

With US going to 'run' Venezuelan heavy oil, what is the market reaction and impact to WCS, the producers and the pipelines that move Alberta oil to the USA? Is it time to go underweight on the energy sector for this year?
Regards
Rajiv
