Q: It looks like, regardless of oil price movements or direction of the market, XEG only goes down. I am currently down 15% on XEG and wondering if there is any hope for oil sector in Canada? Would you keep this ETF/sector for 1-3 years timeframe, or get rid of oil sector entirely and relocate money to some other sectors?

Q: Reading recent comments on Birchcliff Energy 5i didn’t think a dividend cut was imminent and you felt they would issue debt to fund the dividend if need be. Just curious as to the rationale for this opinion. Also, do you feel Bir is good buy at these reduced levels? Finally, In light of today’s dividend cut and significant drop is this company now a prime candidate for a takeover and if so then why?

Q: I am interest in expanding my oil and gas investments to the service side of the oil and gas sector. Would you be able to compare three drilling companies that I am considering. I am interested in PD and NBR for on shore drilling and RIG for offshore. I would prefer a company that is profitable or projected to be soon. The focus is on growth and less on dividends. A fair amount of risk can be handled. Please compare information on these three companies.

Q: TVK appears to have but one analyst - and it is 5i Research. The current share price is $44.51 but your data base shows a Target Price of $6.25 - and that figure has not changed since forever it seems !
I know you are not a fan of Target Prices , but perhaps you might care to speculate upon a likely price in say a year's time ?

in your opinion are there any better canadian listed stocks than; CPX and AQN that one can invest in for the long term? If not, which one of the two would you prefer? This pick would likely be held in a RRSP.

Q: PXT recently announced production that was below analyst expectations, and the stock is down quite a bit today. In add-on, their forecast for 2024 is also light, although a bit of an increase over 2023. I'm surprised, as i bought this one for its strong growth prospects. What do you think of this company going forward? Can they still increase the dividend? buy back stock?

Q: Hi,

I am wanting to start a position int TOU but need to raise the cash. Below is where I am thinking of raising the cash.

I have positions in the following:

ENB 6.35 % ( I do not want to sell)
SU 1.33% ( Sell Full position)
TRP 1.13 % (Sell Full Position)

That leaves me with KEY at 4.22% and PPL at 2.78% To get my 5% weighting in TOU I can decide on whether to sell PPL or KEY.

Your thoughts? Does it make sense?

Jimmy

Q: Hi folks. I am very happy overall with how my portfolio is doing, due in large part to 5i. Thank you. However I do have one dog, which keeps hitting new lows. The good news is that it pays a nice dividend, and I only have a 1/3 postition. But I am tired of watching it sink... now down 47%. What are your thoughts... should I cut it loose? Unfortunately it's in my RRIF. David
