Investment Q&A

Q: Could you please rank these stocks for growth assuming the sector ever improves.
Could you also do another list of just the dividend payers ranking income strength (safe and/or growing divi)

Thanks.

Q: Hi,
Unfortunately I bought some of these energy stocks back in 2014 and I am down +30% on all of these. I have just over a 5% weight currently in energy (not including ALA, ENB and TRP which I've included as part of utilities). Which do you think I should continue to hold and which ones should I just throw in the towel and sell?? I am a long term growth investor.

Q: Please advise that last quarter results against what was expected? If you owned, would you sell for a tax loss or keep?

Q: I currently have half positions in these two companies. Can you please comment on the recent earnings reports and long term prospects? Are the dividends safe/could they grow? Time to add?

Thanks,

Q: Hi Team 5i,

I have been patiently awaiting the recovery of the O&G sector. I am under water on the list of 9 stocks listed. I have been patient and have harvested dividends and DRIPed in the meantime (bank brokerage DRIPing). But with the current US admin and shift to renewable energy sources, I am concerned that the recovery may be a long time (decades ?) away. My question is ... if I chose to sell a few of the above stocks, which do you think might be the poorist performers given the current energy environment and therefore could have the longest time to recover).

Q: Hi,

Where do you see this company going? Is there better names in the sector that will provide good growth in the next 1-2 years?

Thanks.

Q: Can you please help me prioritize these stocks I'm considering for my income account. I understand that some are higher risk. Thanks.

Q: Can you please help prioritize these energy stocks I am considering. Thanks.

Q: I hold these energy stocks in the following percentages 5%FRU and 2% each of the others in a non-reg. acct. I plan to keep FRU and am considering selling one of the other 3 (all down about 30%). The question is am I premature in selling, or would it be prudent to wait for a bit more of a rebound, or, if selling which one would you suggest. I am a retired income oriented investor and would probably re-invest in a different sector. Thanks,
John

Q: Fru Delivered a good report this AM and raised dividend... I notice you prefer PSK Is this due to size, management and what other factors... How risky would you say FRU might be going forward... I own fru and like the royaly for divdends.in the energy sector; what might be you top picks in this area ( with justification please)
Thanks

Q: Hi,
I enjoy the question and answer page. Thank you.
I am considering a long term investment in an O&G royalty company. I have some O& G investments, mainly juniors. What is your assessment of these two?

Q: G'morning Peter
Your thoughts on BXE going forward. I have held it through this turn down a looking at possibly adding now that debt is controlled.
Thanks Don

Q: The above are 4 lagers in my RRSP, on average down by 30%. I have a 5 year time frame to get at least the 30% back which represents $26000.00
I would like your input on a stock or stocks that could help me achieve that goal
As usual thanks for the great info because of your help my TFSA is in excellent shape

Q: My longest holding (20 yrs) is FRU which I have sold down over the good years, but still held some through lots of up and downs. I have held VET but eventually sold after its big run up in 2014. I am thinking of switching my remaining (and only O&G stock) FRU for VET. I invest for income, preferably with some growth prospect. However, I believe there is a possibility of CN (I think) taking FRU private and would be disappointed to miss out on the usual take over premium. Your thought would be appreciated.

Q: 5i I need help in Rebalancing my RRIF. Maybe I am too attached to my stocks. I asked about BIP and BEP and you indicated my energy sector at 22% of my RRIF was high and I agree. I need less volatility but do require income. Of the 22% CPG-T =10%, FRU-T =30%, PPL=35%,SGY=8%, VSN=12% and WCP=5%.I like everyone, require your wisdom.

Q: FRU is off 4% today, while energy index(XEG) is only off 2.75%.

Is A BUYING OPPORTUNITY?. iF not at what price would it be?

Q: I am interested only in income from the following companies: Freehold Royalties, Prairiesky Royalty and Enbridge Income Fund. Would you recommend a buy for any of these companies at this time? If so, will you rate them?

Q: I own twelve oil and gas stocks in a $2.5 million portfolio as listed above. My advisor recommends selling the first seven stocks on the list and adding to the last five positions. I'm primarily interested in capital gains with dividends being a secondary consideration. Would you recommend selling any of the first seven stocks? If so, what gas and oil stocks would you choose as replacements? Thanks for your advise.

Q: I am a retired, conservative, dividend-income investor with a pension, CPP, annuities and hold the following securities (AD, AQN, ALA, BCE, BNS, CPG, CGX, ECI, FTS, PBH, RY, WCP, WEF, WSP, ZLB, XIT, RBC Cdn Equity Inc, Sentry Cdn Inc, Sentry REIT, and Fisgard Capital).

I plan to sell CPG and capture a capital loss, while at the same time put some or all of the proceeds towards another energy name, thereby increasing my dividend income. I have filtered the following names, using P/BV, D/CF, Beta, Div Yield => CJ, FRU, VET (I already own WCP, ALA, TRP).

Which do you see as a good fit with my other holdings? I am leaning towards CJ (more torque) or VET (due to the larger size). Are both of their respective dividend "safe"?

Thanks...Steve

Q: I'm looking to invest in one of these two companies after the current pullback ends, for growth and income. Your thoughts?
