Q: Sir, I find myself down 25-60 % in ALL of the above companies. In keeping with your BUY MORE, HOLD, SELL SOME or all, I would appreciate your thoughts on the above companies. I have some capital gains to off set so all is not lost- yet. Thanks- JP

Q: I have been following your advice of slow buying. For recovery plays with a one to 3 year timeframe (US election and possible normalcy returning post-COVID) is Canada or US better positioned? If all things are equal I favour Canada to avoid the nuisance of Norbert's Gambit etc. But if there is a compelling difference I'd like to use that to my advantage. I have some XIT, AC, SU and LNF and I am finding it hard to wait for the slow buying due to FOMO. How slow is slow enough? Thoughts appreciated.

Q: Stagflation is beginning to be mentioned as a medium term possibility. What sector(s) provide best protection against this and could see growth? Can you recommend an ETF or two (if a handful of individual companies would be better, please recommend a couple instead). Thank you in advance.

Q: What do you think is the best way to play potential return to reasonable pricing for oil? USO - merged with HUC or a company like SU? No one can make money at these current prices even though they have gone up nicely recently.

Q: I am ready to exit Suncor, and am looking for a replacement stock with a good balance between dividend sustainability (over the long term, understanding that almost no dividends are safe in the current environment), dividend yield, and dividend growth.
I am considering either QSR or SYL (or another stock in the consumer discretionary or tech sectors -- please recommend, slight preference for consumer discretionary as I am underweight this sector) as a replacement. This is for a long term (hopefully indefinite) hold. I already hold CTC.A, MSFT, and IBM. Thank you.

Q: Hi 5i,
Thoughts on purchasing BAM.A and SLF at current prices, or wait for lower prices? Do you think their dividends are safe?
Thoughts on the Canadian oil sector with respect to SU and CNQ? While dividends cuts have happened and likely to continue, do you see long term value in purchasing at these levels and do you prefer one over the other? Worth the risk for a 5 year hold?
Thanks very much
Terry

Q: I have enough cash to add to two of the following positions: ZDI (ETF), CTC.A, GWO, SU, EIF. Which two should I add to, and why? If you think I should only add to ZDI (being a diversified ETF) at this time, please indicate so. Thank you.

Q: Hi Team,
I have holdings of 800 SU and 1000 CNQ at a deep loss and would like to sell them to realize the capital losses and buy them back after 30 days. Using the sold proceeds to buy canadian energy ETF to stay in the sector. Upon 30 days later sell the ETF and buy back the SU and CNQ. Do you see this is workable and since the commision is only $7.00 per trade, so it is nothing to consider.
Your suggestion of the canadian energy ETF is appreciated !!
Thanks as always,
Tak
