Investment Q&A

Q: How do you view the above companies to boost yield, energy weighting and opportunity for capital gain. My objective is to minimize total equity exposure while achieving a targeted yield by seeking out more potent dividend names with good upside potential. Thanks.

Q: Assuming oil (WTI) at $65 - 70 which of the following stock PRICES would possibly gain most. Please order them best gainers first. please insert your choices as well. ARX, BNE, CJ, CNQ, TOU, VET, KEL, FRU ,WCP ,SGY

Q: I have been purchasing these three oil Companies this month with a view Tax Loss Selling will end on Dec 27th, Oil Prices moving UP, world economies are improving, demand for Oil will increase, China USA Tariffs will come off, Trump will remain as President may even be reelected in 2020. I expect a good rebound in Oil shares in January, February. TMP is being built perhaps other pipelines as well. Both Liberals & Conservatives want TMP to be completed.

Am I on the Correct Course ? What Oil companies would you Buy if you agree with my Thesis ? What do you think of my selections ? Joseph Schacter likes them .RAK

Q: What are your thoughts on holding Surge? I'm way, way down and can hold until the sector picks up but I'm thinking of selling and putting it into something else.
Thanks
Robert

Q: Do you consider any of these dividends to be unsustainable? Any other comments on these companies?

Q: 5i
Oil represents about 5% of my portfolio and is comprised of Freehold, Vermillion, Surge and Whitecap. I cannot get a good feel as to where the price of oil is headed in the next 2 years. Appears to me there are conflicting views. Should I get out of the oil sector, invest in good dividend paying stocks that would be more stable and re enter the oil market or not at a later date. All my oil stocks do pay high dividends, are they sustainable. Appreciate your insight on both the oil market and potential stocks to invest in regardless of sector if you feel exiting the oil market may be the way to go.

Q: In a recent answer to a question on an oil company, you mentioned that it is hard to be optimistic on a company if you don't like the management team. So my question is, which of the management teams in the oil sector would you want to align yourself with, and why? Alternatively, which of the management teams would you not align yourself with? Please deduct as many credits as necessary to fully answer my question. Thank You.

Q: The Surge Energy share price is now struggling to stay above $1.00. Please comment on the implications of a company's share price declining below this threshold. Once it does, do certain institutional investors (mutual funds, ETFs, pension funds, etc) have to divest their holdings? If so, does this mean that the overall demand for the shares will drop significantly?

Q: Please comment on their result and general assessment  or the stock.Also could you compare with SGY,TOG and WCP .
Thanks

Q: I have positions in these companies way way under my cost. Looking for a strategy to capture some tax loss without giving up completely in allocation in case of oil turnaround. Consolidation in less number of stocks that represents the best potencial is an option or selling all of them and buying two or three different companies is another option. Appreciate any suggestion. Thanks for your help.

Q: comments please on the quarter? Thx

Q: Could you compare WCP and Surge Energy and preference

Q: I have the above losing stocks in my rrsp. Do you see any that I should let go and replace with something else? Sgy and pd are particularly painful to look at! The ok stocks I have in it are bns, engh and pbh. A good few years before I start cashing in. Thank you.

Q: I own 8,000 shares of SGY with a cost base of $3.76 per share in my RRSP. Price today is $1.15. Is there any hope for this stock? What would it take for the price to even double from today's value? Should I take the loss and reinvest what's left in something else?

Q: At $50ish WTI, if all I cared about was the DIV. sustainability and no bankruptcy, which of the above would you list as best.
thanks
Yossi

Q: everyone seems to agree that the energy stocks have never been so cheap, ignored by investors etc.
can you see a way for those stocks to start getting recognized, should i start picking away.
i do not own any energy, but these is getting ridiculous.
i think jim cramer or one of those pundits said its because of millenials who hate oil, they are into electric. dave

Q: Could I get your thoughts on Surge. Seemed their latest financials were pretty good. I appreciate the sector is out of favour but todays stock prices for Surge seem to be extremely over pessimistic. You would think oil will still be a very necessary commodity for many years to come. So are we looking at some algorythm or something fundamental which I missing to cause the downward spiral this company seems to be in?

Q: Is this dividend safe on Surge? Do you see the stock price coming back anytime soon?

Q: Hi 5iR, I have been out of investing in energy stocks for a while, however with oil back down in the low $50.00 range I'm reviewing a few names. TOG and SGY appear to be very attractively priced and pay an excellent dividend. I can't seem to find any negative analyst reporting on either one?? Maybe that's telling me something?? In addition, TD has just raised its' target price on both of them and TOG has increased it's dividend. TD's Target Price on TOG is $8.50, which would mean better than 100% upside at todays price of $4.00
The story with VET is a little cloudy......they do have a lot of debt, but the management team is excellent and the European exposure means more cash for their product.
My questions are: is the oil sector a place to start allocating some funds now and how do the above names stack up as investment choices?
Thanks Team. Cheers, Chris

Q: These 3 Stocks are big losers in my portfolio. All over 75% down. Should I dump them? Or do they stand to rebound?
