Q: I own XEI, ALA, and TOUr but little oil.

I'm hoping to buy base metals and oil in an CDN etf. Do you think this is a good idea and what would you recommend?
I'm hoping to buy base metals and oil in an US etf. Do you think this is a good idea and what would you recommend?

Q: Can you name some Canadian ETF's which will benefit from the switch into materials or oil and gas or value rather than growth and safety? And can you rank them please? And give reasons for buying or not buying?

I know that's a lot to ask but I am interested in your assessment

Thanks for your help as usual

Q: Hi 5i ,
I plan to increase my exposure to oil and agriculture. while doing my research, valuations and the RSIs have increased substantially. For example, stockta.com provides the following Alerts for LUN and TECK.B -"Stochastic Overbought Reversal' which I assume means that a reversal can happen any day. I assume that some holders are likely to take some profit soon. Most of what I have read says that you should wait for the RSI to come down but I also understand that the RSI can remain elevated for some time. Should I wait? or could these sectors be on a tear?
Please advise and thank you for your help

Q: What would be the best equal weight TSX ETF (CDN $) and also S&P (US dollars) Low fees for both.
Thanks!

Q: In your portfolio analytics, you used to have A list of suggested etfs for each sector. I cannot find this list anymore. Has it been removed? Could you please provide a list of recommended etfs for each sector. Thank you

Q: Peter and team
I have held ZEO outside of my balanced portfolio for several years now. As of today it has lost half of what I paid.
Even though it is compromised of the bigger players I am still worried about the solvency of some of the companies. Are there any in this ETF that cause you concern and do you feel this is safe "hold" for the next few years while awaiting recovery.
Thanks
Phil

Q: Is there an oil and gas etf which is not cap weighted that is tsx listed? Thanks Bill

Q: 8 months ago, most people I know owned something in the cannabis sector
and those who didn't told me they missed a generational opportunity. Since then, the sector fell 65%. Many were wrong, including the management of Constellation,
who bought 38% of Canopy. Could market participants be just as wrong with energy right now? Aren't sector bottoms supposed to "feel" like this? In your answer, could you tell us if there has ever been a sector on the Toronto stock exchange that got destroyed similar to the current energy sector, and whether or not fund managers were also selling? A sector that later returned close to its previous highs? (ps: I wish I could find videos showing what was said close to bottoms back in 2001 and 2009).

Q: Goodmorning

I continue to hold the following stocks in oil and gas but wonder if the time has come to move on. What are your thoughts on continuing to hold or sell all or keep any if the suggestion is to sell do i hold off till tax selling season is over?
Thks
Marce

Q: Can you name your preferred commodities producers CAD ETFs? Thanks!

Q: Morning..best oil ETF in CDN and US to benefit from increased oil prices...

Thanks

Q: I want to invest in a oil and gas etf for the long term which pays a dividend. Any suggestions: HUC, ZEO? thanks.

Q: First year of my subscription. I am single, rent, retired and am 66 years old. Besides CPP and OAS (fully clawed back) have a DB pension which covers my daily living needs so I treat it as my bond portfolio. Have a non-registered account from the proceeds of my house sale and collapsing my RRSP. Account objective is dividend/growth and not to lose money.
Looking at my Oil & Gas holdings I have HSE and XEG, the latter underwater by 20%.
Other energy-related holdings are ALA, BEP.un, ENB, FTS, H, IPL, SPB, and RNW all of which are underwater from -2 to -53% in this market.
I have owned a TFSA since 2009 and made full contributions every year mostly from savings from pension income. It holds AQN and IPL in the energy related sector.
Thinking of switching XEG for OIL or ZEO today in non-reg and booking the tax loss against previous 2015 capital gains. Is it a reasonable switch and are there any tax implications; i.e. trx not subject to 30 day rule?
Bill

Q: Hi guys
I know that you are not a fan of split capital shares, but I have had some success with them. With the oil companies being beaten down so much, I am willing to take a position and wait for a recovery. Are the underling companies solid in this structure. Are there any other vehicles that have a basket of oil companies that you would recommend
Thanks

Q: Best Cdn oil company to own if oil increases over $100?

Q: I do not have much exposure to oil & gas industry, which has been rising nicely in the past few months. I would like to use an ETF to invest on this theme. I was wondering if I should invest only in Canada or if I should go US or international. Could you suggest an ETF? Thanks.
