Q: I heard that Eric Nuttall is now out of VET. It's my only oil & gas stock that is under water at this point. What is your opinion? It seems to have declined due to the fall of natural gas in Europe and the extra tax levy. Do you think it has fallen enough to now be worth holding, or is there another oil and gas stock that you like better. I'm thinking maybe FRU or even NNRG.NE, Eric's fond? Or do you have another one?
Thanks

Q: Hello. On uranium companies, what stocks would you look to for outsized returns, in a uranium bull market, irrespective of risks? I’ve listed some for comments but would welcome your thoughts on other potential companies. Of those listed, in addition to any others you might mention, please rank by preference (again on the assumption of a uranium bull market). Thanks!

Q: After further review their most recent acquisition not only is large in relative terms the cash flow yield and payback period looks extremely attractive. Exiting 2024(assuming $80 barrel) the company should have a pristine balance sheet with massive cash flow for many years to follow. Is that your assessment assuming same oil price and no other M&A?

Q: Several of the oilfield service providers were financially crushed or bankrupt when the price of oil dropped to below zero. Those that survived are probably in a fairly good position. Although government policies are doing everything possible to discourage investment in the energy sector, there will be a time when reality sets in and investment in the sector will be supported. Can you recommend some financially strong companies in the oilfield service sector. Thank you

Q: I have a question for 5i with respect to the “oil service subsector” of the energy sector. I currently own some pipeline stocks (large cap) and some E&P stocks (one small cap and one mid cap), however, I do not own an oil service stock at the present time. So…. I have some questions and would appreciate your views on the subsector.

With E&P companies focused on balance sheets, and returning capital to shareholders, are those management actions having any impact on the oil services sector?? Your views please.

If you think the oil services sector is not unduly impacted by the E&P focus outlined, how do you view the services sector – is it a favourable view??

How might one invest in the sector, would I be better off with a large cap like Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, or Haliburton and if so which one (s) would you favour? If not, are there smaller cap companies that warrant some investor attention and what names come to mind, would your focus be US based or Canadian based – thanks in advance.
