Q: Hello 5i team:

At this particular time, which ETF do you think worth buying? US based XLE or Canadian based XEG? Is there a ETF based on Europe or the rest of the world?

Will you underweight or overweight energy in one's portfolio? I know in the US energy doesn't play a big role. But in Canadian index, they do.

Thanks in advance.

Q: Hello 5i Team

I own Chevron and ExxonMobil in my US$ denominated RRSP. These are the only US$ oil and gas stocks in my RRSP account.

My US$ RRSP is structured as a large cap dividend aristocrat account.

My cost basis per share for CVX is US$115.00 and for XOM is US$80.00. Current yield on CVX is 5.6 % and on XOM is 6.4 %

As I cannot harvest capital losses in a RRSP account, is there any benefit in consolidating these two holdings into one stock? Which company has the better potential for growth long term (5 year or greater). Or should I do nothing and continue to receive dividends until the stocks return to their former highs?

Thanks

Q: I have heard we can expect to pay more to fill up at the pumps. Are you more bullish on oil or gasoline? If you are more bullish on gas oriented companies, what companies would you recommend?

Q: I heard an interview with Marin Katusa author of The Rise of America in which he stated companies such as Exxon, Shell, Ford etc. will be forced to buy carbon credits and this presents a huge investment opportunity. I would appreciate your analysis and if you agree how would you take advantage of this opportunity. Thank you for your help.

Q: I have received voting materials from XOM and there is a lot of discussion about a hedge fund called "Engine No. 1" that is trying to insert some directors on the board of XOM. This is interesting to me. Are you familiar with this effort? Can that even happen? And should I follow XOM's advice and vote along party lines?

Thanks.

Q: It seems the market always looks forward and as such there must be companies that are moving to the upside now based on what the economies of the world will look like six months from now. Please provide me with the names of 5 Canadian companies and 5 American companies that you believe should do well in this new world. (Hopefully, post Covid World). I realize I'm asking for an educated guess, but since you have far more experience than I do, I would appreciate your opinion.

Q: Wondering about getting returns from non-tech companies, since I have plenty of tech. The world largely still runs on oil. Of course Russia and Saudi Arabia can swing the market, as we have seen. I have some Suncor (SU) and Exxon (XOM). Is Exxon's (XOM) dividend safe? Any wild guesses as for how many quarters out an upswing for energy might be? Thoughts on adding to XOM or SU? I feel like there is potential there that might be better than say Loblaws or other basics.
I appreciate any insights.
