Q: I have no exposure to the oil and gas sector. I am thinking of going 3% to 5% and would like your opinion on whether now is a reasonable time to re-enter this market. If so, would looking at the U.S. market be better than the Canadian Mkt. Any suggested companies or ETF's would be appreciated.

Cheers, Bob

Q: A comment and a question if I may. There's so much talk about markets being at 'all time record highs' as if this is a reason in itself to sell or short. But if markets have consistently gone up over many decades, you could argue that in a historical sense the market is almost always at an all time high.

On to my question: I need to add an oil/energy stock for diversification and I'm on the growthier side of risk tolerance. Do you have a preference between RRX and ENB at this time?

Thanks 5i!

Q: I am looking into adjusting the Energy Sector of my portfolio which is at 5% of total equities. I have SU, ECA and CVE. Would you recommend switching any or all of these to PKI and RRX or stay the course?
Thanks for the great service!

Q: Hi,
My only energy exposure is WCP and TOU each at 4% (total 8% of portfolio)

(A) In the current economic environment, considering I am targeting growth, what % would you recommend for energy exposure?
(b) Do you like these two holdings for covering and diversifying my energy exposure? or are there alternatives you think might be better at this point? When I compare charts for TOU vs. PEY, for instance, my untrained eye seems to show that PEY is acting better than TOU over the last year.

Thank you

Q: I bought Painted Pony when it was around $4.50. So I am up on this investment. Is Raging River a more compelling stock for growth? Should I sell PPY and buy RRX. Should I hold long term on PPY? Or should I sell and go inot an entirely different energy stock? I view myself as a long term investor and want to hold stock for 5 to 10 years and hopefully watch them grow.

Q: Peter and team:
I have an account that is not balanced and is basically a speculation account (a small portion of my overall portfolio).

In this account I am down significantly on BDI and PD as I got in to them when Oil was near it's peak.

I was wondering if it would be best to sit on them both and wait it out or perhaps bail and get in to a junior oil company that stands to "pop" if/when oil rebounds. I was thinking of RRX.

Or perhaps there is an aggressive growth company you might suggest that potentially could help re-coup some of my losses???

Thanks

Phil

Q: Overall I am very happy with the diversity in my portfolio, except for one sector, resources, which I have avoided like the plague for the last six years for obvious reasons. But the tables are turning. Could I ask you for 5 resource stocks for consideration, with dividends if possible.

Thanks!

Q: Hi, thanks very much for the 17% gain in just 7 weeks with CUS!! I have this in my TFSA and am now considering selling and replacing it with either RRX, HCG, KXS or DBO. Assuming diversification is not an issue, which do you see as the best upside potential? Or is it better to hold CUS for a little longer?
Thanks again! Ian
