Q: Notwithstanding the capital gains tax implications, would you kindly rank the above GAS and OIL stocks in order of PREFERENCE and SECTOR (Gas stocks and Oil stocks) to continue holding for the long term and to help me decide on which stock to sell in order to raise cash for an upcoming major purchase. Thank you.

Q: I'm looking at PEY and FRU for dividend income, and possibly a little appreciation. Their recent price doesn't seem to be too effected by gas/oil prices going down -or are they perhaps offset by interest rates going down at the same time? Could you compare these; do you have a preference? How high a risk are they? What is a good entry point for both? Thanks!

Q: What do you think of FRU.ca vs NPI at these levels for a long term hold? Are there tax consequences for a royalty company I should be aware of?

I own CNQ, ENB, CPX, H and a little HSP already but I'm finding it hard to resist the dividends (and hopefully growth) of FRU and NPI. Should I add to one of the companies I already own or buy NPI or FRU as well?

Q: Good morning,

I currently own a number of different energy stocks of which most are in the OIL sector. In this current investment environment, the Gas sector seems to offer a better risk reward ratio and I would like to better balance my Oil/Gas stock split.

Question 1. Do you agree that Natural Gas stocks currently offer a better potential return than OIL stocks over the next few years?

Question 2. If so, which of the these OIL stocks would you replace with Natural Gas stocks?

Question 3. Which Natural Gas stocks are currently your best ideas?

Thank you for your sage advice.

Q: A lot of market commentators are observing that there is potentially a correction ahead. Ordinarily I would follow your long standing thought to not try to time the market and I would simply stay the course. But one income oriented account I am concerned with has a priority of capital preservation. These 7 named stocks make up about 1/2 of the holdings. Can you please provide your quick assessment whether they are reasonably safe in the event of a downturn. If not and they are more exposed to a decline, would trimming be sufficient or are there some other names to migrate to protect the account assets?

Many thanks for your excellent service

Q: Considering taking a position (up to 2%) in a dividend paying oil/gas company, and looking at FRU or WCP. Could I get your comments on the royalty structure vs a producer, as well as a comparison of the metrics such as payout percentage, debt, guidance, etc. Do you have a preference, and would you even consider adding an oil producer at this time. I have some ETFs with small positions in some oil companies, but no direct holdings of my own.
Thank-you

Q2. Which of these three stocks (MEG.CA, CVE.CA or TVE.CA offers the best risk/reward at this particular time,

Q3. Is there another energy stock that you prefer and would wholeheartedly recommend.

Thank you and I'll await your response.

Q: Good morning,

I currently hold FRU in my TFSA account and it is down approx 30%.

Q1. What is your outlook at this time of FRU and would this be a good entry point to purchase some additional shares?

I wish to purchase an energy stock for my TFSA and GXE is one under consideration given the relative safety of its high dividend and growth prospect should the price of oil go higher.

Q2. What are your thoughts and outlook of GXE at this time and do you have a better recommendation for a new position in my TFSA?

Thank you and I'll await your sage advice.
