Q: I noted that Warren Buffett recently bought more oxy on the dip. I also noted that some time ago he sold his stake in Suncor. I need to raise my energy sector holdings and was planning on buying Suncor. Because it is a good company and because of the tax credit, versus a US counterpart. But I hesitate when I see Buffet continuing to buy. Does he know something that we don’t know? Or, does he have a special deal that we don’t have access to? I am thinking that if they are more or less equal that I would be better to get the one with the tax credit? But the question is whether they are equal? Or does oxy have an advantage that outstrips the tax credit?
Thanks for the great service

Q: Hi, we have energy sector exposure through, CNQ,SU,TOU and ENB. There are several reasons for owning the sector through CDN companies, primarily for Dividend Tax credit in the Non Regd accounts and also their relatively lower risk profile and size. We have not invested in US Oil, and Gas/Pipeline companies, except a small holding in XLE.

CNBC guests/traders, frequently recommend the US companies listed in the question and it appears that all these stocks are doing well. ( OXY - with 20% ownership with Warren Buffet }. My question is that, in Canada, do we have Energy companies with similar product/business profiles to these US names. And, if so, for a Balanced 5i Portfolio risk profile investor, is the sector well represented with these four CDN companies ? Current Portfolio Weight: CNQ/SU/TOU: 9% ENB:6% Total-15%.

Thank You

Q: Hello 5i Team,
Thanks for your great calls on MU-Micron (up 6% in pre-market today) in one of your responses to members' questions & PHO-Photon.
Please let me know your opinions :
WWE recent increased 28% in three days due to new deal with FOX: buy more, sell or hold
OXY: buy to replace EQNR-Equinor ADR (New name of STATOIL) - we bought in November(up over 35%) in our US- RRSP account. Reason for switch for same growth, OXY has no dividend tax withholding and lesser currency fluctuation.
RMBS-Rambus: buy, hold or sell.
Thank you for the great work.
