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: 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: Hi Guys: I have a 2% position in oil - PXT and RRX - I am looking to bring it up to 5%. I am debating adding to the PXT or RRX positions or begin a new position in FRU which would be held in a registered account. The account has to be convert into a RIF by December so the FRU dividend would be useful. Thank you for you advice.

Q: Hi Peter and Staff
Recently we have had one BNN guest whom I believe you respect a lot tout this as a top pick and another one say that they are exposed if Penn West does not make it due to large portion of revenue from them. Do you know how significant they depend on PennWest and would some other company not buy the Penn West production and be on the hook for the royalty agreement with Freehold?
Thanks for all you do and all the best for 2016

Q: I'm a long-time holder of FRU having weathered its stock price plunge from the 20s to 9-ish as well as suffering at least two dividend cuts. Notwithstanding today's relief, I believe it's time to move on. I am trying to avoid vehicles such as FRU that spring these surprise cuts on investors who rely on dividend income. Would you agree with my move and where would you suggest I go to replace income from FRU?
Thank you.
