Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: How would you rank these companies for growth, stability
and dividend security? I'm thinking to trim WCP and FRU
to add these others.

Thanks

Q: Good morning 5i team!

May I please get your thoughts on ERF. I've held it for a while and have done well. I'm concidering rotating out of this name and shifting to either WCP, HWX or TVE all of which have better dividends and could run harder if oil catches a bid (as many oil bulls are expecting). Do you prefer any of these name over the others....or, stay the course. Thoughts?

Thanks

Dave

Q: Hello Folks:
The oil and gas sector has provided good upside compared to tech and other segments.
Consequently we now have oversize exposure to this sector 20-25% weighting.
In your opinion have we seen most of the upside from this sector and perhaps should move some money elsewhere; particularly CVX, WCP, ARX and Hess? What is your opinion and also of which sectors have most upside?
Thanks for your great service!!!!

Q: If a 2% tax is imposed upon oil and gas co. share buybacks, I assume that free cash flow will be directed toward debt repayment and dividend increases, with low debt companies raising dividends the most. Which O&G companies would you recommend, ( if my assumption is correct )?

Q: Hi 5i,
I need to access some cash by selling some TFSA holdings and hope you can give me advice as to the best way to go about that.
I'm nicely up on WCP and TVE, and with dividends accounted for close to break even on DBM. CTS, CURA, QST and WELL are down a lot, and GXE is down some but not too bad.
Selling 1/4 of the WCP or 1/2 of the TVE or DBM would cover my cash requirement, whereas I'd have to offload pretty much all of any one of the others at their presently reduced values to get where i need to be.
If I didn't need the cash I wouldn't sell anything at present, in the expectation that WCP and TVE will continue to do well, that DBM will at least hold steady, probably rise relatively soon and keep paying dividends, and that the others will find their way out of the woods in due course. But unfortunately I don't have that luxury.
Given the above, could you advise what i might best hold on to, and what might be best to sell in fairly short order?
Thanks!
Peter

Which three of the above fourteen oil & gas stocks would you sell first to bring my sector allocation back to my normal weight? This is assuming 100 WTI oil in 2023. Could you also provide a brief reason for each of the three stocks that you would get rid of first. Thanks.

Q: Hi Team,
I was considering selling out of my oil stock WCP to purchase either / or a combination of adding to Shop, Nvda, and Toi. Would you see this as advisable for a goal of maximum returns over the next 5yrs ? Thanks

Q: Hi Peter,

Could you please rank your favourite few Cdn listed oil equities as of today?

If you were to hold two names, would you go with the top two or would you do something else (eg one blue chip and one smaller growth player)?

Charge questions as required. Many thanks!

Q: Hi Team,
With the recent slump in some of these oil names, do you see a name like WCP being bought out by a bigger company such as CVE that operate in some of the same area? You would think M&A would start happening with valuations where they are on some of these names. CVE with a P/E of 10.9, and WCP only having a P/E of a mere 2.0 (according to my trading platform numbers). This all being said, is it time to buy some of these high quality mid cap oil names that have been hit recently? Your comments are appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i
I own both TVE and WCP and have done OK with each. However, except from what might be available from those two holdings I don't have any exposure to natural gas, a commodity that is getting lots of attention these days. To remedy that, I'm considering parting ways with TVE and hooking up with BIR.
In your opinion, is natural gas production worthy of pursuit at present and, if so:
(1) is BIR a good vehicle for that pursuit and
(2) on strictly a growth basis would you expect BIR to outperform TVE over the next year or so, and why or why not?
Thanks and I look forward to your response.
Peter
