It represents 12.2% of my portfolio. Is this a fair portion. too high , too low??
If to high what would you suggest to sell. Could you also rate these as for sustainability and return going forward.

Thanks in advance.

Q: According to Graham's The Intelligent Investor one way to make money is to buy companies selling for less than book value. In previous responses 5i has said that book value can be somewhat tricky because while some companies have measurable hard assets others have a large amount of goodwill which is somewhat intangible and difficult to measure. I see that BIR now has a price to book value ratio of .69 suggesting that an investor can buy one dollar's worth of the company for 69 cents. I have two questions. First, is BIR one of those companies with measurable hard assets that are now underpriced? Second, is the massive dividend sustainable?

Thanks as always for your expertise and Merry Christmas to everyone at 5i.

Q: Hi, my question is about the oil and gas sector which I always had a generous amount in this sector ( 10% or more) because I live in oil country.
And have done quite well.
I’m thinking of taking it down to 4-5% because of the headache the sector is having with government and environmental concerns of the people.
My thoughts are the growth going forward is just not there and will be stagnant at best .
Do you agree ? Or ‘em I way too early in my thinking. Thanks

Q: I held AQN in two separate accounts for over a year, I sold AQN in the account that had the largest position (80%) and I've hung on to AQN in the other account.

I thought of replacing AQN with NPI to maintain my sector exposure, I've yet to make that purchase.....why???? I've been side tracked with the idea of buying BEP.... Can you folks please wade in, would appreciate some of your thoughts and rationale.

Happy Holidays to the staff and readers

Q: Hello,

Can you rank CNQ, SU and Toumaline in order of preference for overall returns? If owning only one which would be your choice? Is the recent pullback in prices a good opportunity to buy into the sector or should a person stay on the sidelines for a bit to see how the economy slows in the next half year? This is for a new account so no position yet. Income with some growth preferred. Please take credits as needed. Thank you! Great service.

Q: To what extent is the comparatively higher sell off in Canadian oil & gas producers attributed to Guilbault's promise to cap our Canadian production as a green initiative. How serious is this recent Trudeau government threat coming out of COP28 in Dubai? I hold TOU and CNQ but it is an energy general question.
