Q: I’m currently holding Enbridge, CNQ, HME, and Whitecap, and I’m sitting on attractive gains. Given today’s market environment — including oil price volatility, sector valuations, and shifting interest rate expectations — I’d like your guidance on whether it makes sense to start taking profits. My risk tolerance is medium to high, so I’m comfortable with some volatility, but I still want a disciplined approach. Should we be trimming these positions into strength, using trailing stops, or rebalancing to manage my energy exposure? I’d appreciate your view on the most appropriate profit‑taking strategy for my situation.
Thanks for your help. Rick

Q: I currently have substantial unrealized gains in Suncor, Whitecap, Enbridge, and Canadian Natural Resources. Based on my overall portfolio and current market conditions, would you recommend reducing these positions, selling a portion, or continuing to hold them? I would appreciate your professional view.
Thanks Rick

Q: Hello,

Losing patience with Telus. Div nice but down 37% in the 4yrs owned. Position sits at 1%.
Cut bait and re-deploy looks very attractive. Willing to skip Canadian telecoms for now in favour of better growth and stability going forward.

Thoughts? Hate taking a loss in a non-taxable account but Telus has been very disappointing and doesn’t look like anything is changing.

Q: With energy stocks such as WCP and CNQ benefiting from high oil prices what is there best strategy for deploying free cashflow? M & A opportunities are expensive given increase in share prices; buybacks are also questionable as their share values have risen. Debt levels are relatively low. Are dividend increases or special dividends the best use of deploying Capital ?

Q: Hi,

If you remove your "long term focus" hat and put on a different hat, is there an opportunity to get out of the energy stocks that have seen their values skyrocket since the war in Iran, and re-enter them once things settle back down?

I know you will say that this is timing the market and we don't know if the prices will settle back down, but isn't there a strong likelihood that prices will not remain at these current levels once shipping and production returns to normal?

Thanks,

Robert

Q: A Wall street Journal article today paint a dire picture for LNG supply for the next few years. "Even if the Trump administration and Iran agree to end the war soon, the consequences for the LNG market will be long-lasting—and even more profound than for oil, experts say."
Even if the war ends overnight, it will take the gas market much longer to return to normal than oil,” A lot of the slack in the system used to be picked up by LNG, so the knock-on effects are massive.

My question: what stocks do you see that will benefit from this shortage of LNG?

Q: Good morning and thank you for your amazing insights these days .

Question regarding CNQ and BN. Two completely different sectors, but given the appreciation in CNQ in recent weeks, and the corresponding pressure in BN, I have been slowly taking some CNQ off and moving more into BN. Both are core holdings for me, but your conviction with BN is impressive and I just think it is foolish to not take small gains off the table and move more to BN on the view that this too shall pass - for both companies.

Crazy or a fair approach so long as measured?
