Q: What mid cap oil and gas companies have little or no debt ,but could have great upside if prices stay up for oil ?

Q: Here is a situation which is prevalent in many parts of my portfolio. for example, I have BNS at an average cost on ~$72. It closed yesterday at $64.50. If I go with 'timing the market' I should probably exit the stock. If I go with 'time in the market' I should continue to hold and collect the dividends.
Is there are 'rule' one can use and does that rule vary for large cap stocks like BNS or a small cap stock like PNE which I also own?

Q: Good morning,

In this group can you tell me which one to keep, to hold, to sell and add at this moment.

Thank you

Q: Inevitably, when someone asks about the best NG companies in Canada, TOU and ARX are normally in the mix. So setting those two aside, I would appreciate your opinion on three other stocks in that sector that don't receive nearly as much attention. The stocks in question are Headwater Exploration, Spartan Delta and Pine Cliff Energy.

Thanks as always

Q: Hi 5i Team. Can o get your general thoughts on these companies and, specifically, the sustainability of their dividends? At what commodity price points do their respective dividends get dicey? Thank you!

Q: looking to generate a little more income in my RIF with these three CDN O&G names. In your opinion, would a mix of all three achieve some benefit of diversification or does one of these stand out as a clear favourite to own for either safer income, growth or bothÉ

Q: you seem to be hot on pine cliff as opposed to other high dividend payers in the small cap oil and gas space such as gear and peyto among others. why is this?.
i know gear is heavy oil, peyto and pine cliff more nat gas.also are there others you prefer besides tamarack which seems like it is going nowhere. dave

Q: Which of these is a better long term hold for an income investor?
Both of these are showing very high yields, PEY at 11%!? Is this sustainable?
I currently hold PEY in a cash account and am down although I'd like to add more to this sector.

I see a few options here:
Sell PEY, buy PNE and hold
Sell PEY, buy PNE return to PEY after tax loss harvested
Buy more PEY over allotment and sell excess after tax loss harvested
Any thoughts on these options?

Thanks

Q: i own vermilion, cnq, erf, and gear . gear has an 11% yield, no debt, i cant resist.

Q: I am picking up oil and gas stocks (with yield). These two stand out. Could tell me how they stand as regards to their book? Which you might prefer? I was thinking of a mix between the two.

Q: I just reviewed the FP Investor I received in my email this past week.
In their review they reviewed the 5 worst performing stocks on the TSX during 2022

4 of the 5 were as follows:

SHOP Down 72%

LSPD Down 65%

DND Down 55%

NVEI Down 62%

You guys are running the 3 5i portfolios and are recommending buys and sells.

William O'Neill whom I'm sure Peter has read has one of the prime principles of his CANSLIM model is LIMIT YOUR LOSSES. He recommends as soon as a stock falls 7% it should be sold. To limit your loss. This will prevent catastrophic losses from affecting the portfolio in a major way.

Now I'm not saying that 5i should have this principle exactly but as responsible portfolio managers I do feel that 5i should have a loss containment strategy for those who follow the portfolio and might not be that experienced.

I know in past posts you suggest readers utilize mental stop losses rather than real time stop losses. I feel that 5i as portfolio managers should do the same. Going forward there should be no holding in the portfolios that are down as dramatically as those listed above.

Hope you adopt this as a New Years Resolution Investing Principle to add to your Investment Strategy Guidelines

All the best
