Q: Energy Sector - I am hearing that in 2020 the IMO will be enforcing ban on ships that use fuel with higher sulfur content. To take advantage of this can you recommend refiners that will benefit as well those oil companies producing more light oil. Thanks AJD

Q: I read/hear conflicting opinions about the price of oil from well respected analysts in the print/electronic/TV media. Some say oil sector is the next place where the money is going to flow and others say there will be a pull back sooner than later. Do you think the new highs are there to stay? What are the top 3 to 5 companies from your favourite list that have already shown improvement due to higher oil price?
Many thanks.

Q: Can you recommend a natural gas producer. Prefer in Canada and does not utilize fracking to extract the gas due to the negative views and risk of laws coming in to prevent it. As well a company that refines the natural gas and another that transports it. The best in each sector unless one does all three.

Q: My "loss leaders" are CPG and ERF. My gainers are SU, HSE and CNQ. (Because of the entry prices) Should I sell my "losers" CPG/ERF and plough the proceeds in SU/CNQ? Or simply hold them till the recovery in the sector takes place? Or buy HWO which I own which is in slightly positive territory? Or any other company that you would suggest in the Oil/Gas sector? Like the pipelines.
Thank you.

Q: Hi, I just read an article,that said the high price at the pumps were do to the refineries getting higher margins. If that is the case,and it is not the first time I heard this, then there must be some companies in Canada that are doing really good? The oil and gas sector has been down for years, getting impatient I guess.
I was thinking of selling my energy companies WCP,PEY&TOG and replacing them with refinery or related companies for more growth.
Do you agree with this switch, and could you name two or three stock that you could recommend.
Thanks,

Can you offer an opinion on the future prospects of Prairie Sky? Does it complement well the holdings in the 5i Income Model Portfolio?

Q: I hold approx 5% of my portfolio in O&G, and this is split 60/40 between Imperial Oil/Whitecap. Historically, I have found IMO relatively safe. However, with IMO now at a disappointing 5 year low, would you recommend selling it and replacing it with either more WCP or with another O&G such as SU or CNQ? Thank-you.
