Q: This news was released today. I'm wondering first if these would be a good, safe investment to buy? And also, what sort of impact, if any, issuing these will have on the stock?

Q: Hello Team 5i & Everyone,

I came across this article over the weekend via a Lance Roberts’ “Real Investment Advice” website’s “Daily Market Commentary” post on it Jan. 7th.  The title is a bit meh, but the key detail to me I pulled from the article is that the Pentagon has elevated critical minerals to the same strategic priority tier as ammunition and fuel. The US already has access to enough oil elsewhere.

Please share with other members if you feel it has enough truth to it.

Thank you & Happy New Year,

Sandra

Q: Would it be prudent to reduce energy exposure at this time? My wives RRIF account holds ARX, TOU, & FRU they represent 21.8% of the portfolio. My RRIF account holds ARX, TOU, HWX, PPL, OBE, & PD they represent 33.3 % of the portfolio, PPL alone is 15% of the total portfolio. I know I should reduce this exposure what would you suggest?

Q: Good morning,

Regarding WTI and expectations for continued price pressures for H1 2026 for reasons we all know well, I want to get your thoughts on China demand for Venezuelan oil. China has been the largest buyer of Venezuelan oil, and following the events of last weekend with Maduro and comments yesterday from Trump regarding the US “taking” ~$2bn in sweet crude from Venezuela, do you think China leans on Iran and Russia for their crude requirements near term? Or do you think there is potential for Canada to play more of a role?

I am at a bit of an inflection point on names like CNQ/Suncor at the moment, and would appreciate your views.

Thanks as always.

Q: What is the investment thesis behind TVE and why should investors be considering this stock in their energy portfolio?

It seems 5i is quite positive on the stock w/ a good holding in their Growth portfolio as well as making some of their top picks for energy names.

Curious to learn more about why this company makes a good investment ?

Q: Hello 5i team,
Gibson Energy's yield is currently nearing 7%, quite tempting for a dividend investor. Can I get your opinion on the sustainability of this dividend? What is the payout ratio based on earnings and cash flow? I already have positions in ENB, TRP, PPL, KEY and ALA. Would taking a position in GEI reduce my risk, or would I be better off topping up the other positions?
Many thanks for your valuable advice!
Brian

Q: I have a significant position on these 2 stocks .At this stage, and with accelerating loss ( 15%) on paper on arx,,would it be a "hold" ," buy more " or " sell " for each if safer dividends and investments are considered in the actual geopolitical context? Your excellent comments are always appreciated
