Investment Q&A

Q: Hi Peter in my RRSP acc. I have 80 shares of CPG which are down form my purchase price and 400 shares of LEG which are also down from my purchase price is it worth buying more of either one and if so which one. CPG is about 5% and LEG is about 2% of the overall portfolio. Thanks, Nick

Q: Could I have your opinion on CPG purchase of Legacy Oil & Gas?
Does this purchase raise your opinion on the company given the unrest in Alberta's political situation.
I currently hold WCP, PMB & BTE representing 5% of overall portfolio.
I entered into the above companies in December so I am up in all of them. I would like to add another 2 %. Should I add to WCP or add CPG into the mix. Thanks for the great service.

Q: Is this a good entry point for Crescent Point? Tx

Q: Would CPG be a good stock to purchase for my portfolio.Eddie

Q: I've owned CPG for 3+ years and I've been fine with collecting the dividend despite the massive volatility. I've held it in the past knowing there are better energy names out there. Today, I am thinking it is a good idea to get out of it in favour of cash or some other 5i portfolio type stock like BIN or something you'd recommend. I prefer to get something with yield so I am thinking HCG or BIN or CCL.B or something like those.

My chief concern with energy in general is that the supply situation (looking at all the charts) looks horrible. I think CPG is discounting oil prices that are too optimistic. My concern with CPG is I know I can do better in terms of quality and I am thinking grown men could be crying over this one in the next while.

CPG is 2.5% of the portfolio. Other energy related holdings are PEY - 4.4%, TOU - 3.3%, AEI - 1.6%, and BAD - 3.9%. Rest of the portfolio is pretty close to 5i model portfolio.

Q: Hi 5i - I have about 25% of my portfolio in Energy (in SGY, ERF, BTE, BNP and LEG, TBE - all of which are slightly underwater with the drop in oil) - Im looking at adding CPG at $29.00 - is this a good idea long term? Thanks, Neil

Q: In light of the dividend cut by Surge Energy (SGY), how likely do you think it is that CPG might follow suit?

Q: Good Morning 5i Team

Please accept my apologies if this question has been previously asked and answered.

I follow a large number of companies watching news, price, volume and tracking dividend performance.

I have noticed in the past few days a number of companies showing an increased yield on their dividend... i.e. CPG going from 6.97% on Friday to 12.68% today.

Please excuse my own ignorance as I know many other members are probably aware why this is but, could you explain this to me please?

thanks for all you do

Gord

Q: At $22.00 is CPG not a screaming buy - even at $60 a barrel?
Also do you have any information on insider trading for this company and where can I get this information without bothering you?
Many thanks
John

Q: I sold some CPG on Nov 17 and it settled on Nov 20. Just to confirm, so I don't trigger the 30 day superficial tax loss rule, the earliest I can repurchase CPG would be Dec 17. Am I correct?

Thanks,
Steve

Q: Is this coy still going to be able to maintain their dividend,
I recently bought ,but it keeps going down Brian

Q: Hi 5i,

I am currently 5% down on CPG in a non registered account. I am thinking of using this loss to offset my capital gains. I understand that there is a 30 day waiting period before entering into the same stock, but does this apply if I want to purchase before 30 days in a RRSP or TFSA instead of the non registered.
Thank you.
Janice

Q: I like CPG for a long term hold but am currently significantly under water due to the falling oil prices. I have Capital gains in other stocks that I would like to offset. I am considering selling CPG for the tax loss and buying it back 31 days later. In the meantime I will buy a energy ETF with the funds to protect me if oil rebounds in the short term. If all stays the same or worse, I will sell the ETF after 31 days and buy back CPG. Your thoughts?

Q: Peter and Team,

I currently have the following energy producers in the portfolio:
AEI 3.5%
PPY 3.9%
TOU 3.5%
PEY 4.3%
CPG 3.1%

With a total energy producer weighting of 18.3% I am wondering if I should trade my CPG shares for something like Black Diamond group. The dividend is lower on Black Diamond but I think the quality of company is better and I think they treat shareholders better. What are your thoughts on a best choice for recovery from current prices and good dividends? As a side note, I hold BAD (4.9%) as well in case it matters in terms of sector exposure.

Thanks,

Marc

Q: Hello Peter & Co.
My RRIF portfolio contains most of your equity holdings and many of Jason Donville's top 10; I thank you for your contribution.
My problem is that energy producers make up 10% of my portfolio; I should reduce it to 5%.
I hold BTE, CPG, TOU, VET and WCP; how would you rank them?
Thanks again
Tony

Q: Have held CPG for some time and have noted your comments comparing Crescent Point to others like Surge and Whitcap. Have not made the switch as had large Capital Gain position. With the pull back in Energy this tax consideration has shrunk. Would a switch at this time make sense and what Oil Co would you recommend for income and growth. I have Peyto for my Gas position. Each of these position represents 2% of my portfolio and would be long term holds

Q: Hi Peter and 5iResearch Team,
I know that you have concerns regarding the management team of Crescent Point, CPG. However, I am wondering how is it positioned relative to the other Companies, such as CNQ, TOU, etc., with respect to recent declines in oil price, its US oil and gas reserves, etc.. I'm kicking myself today, as I bought a small position yesterday… I always ask you first before I buy…and I didn't!
Thank you. Linda

Q: CPG has been on a steady decline for the last two weeks. Right now it is sitting at $37.28, which is at the 52 week low.

I know you do not have CPG in your portfolio, but I am wondering if you can shed some light? Is CPG reflecting the movement withing the sector, or is this a sign of other more alarming issues?

Q: Hi - your comments on the CPG financing and acquisition. Does this make CPG a more attractive choice than BTE? thanks

Q: Your thoughts on Crescent Point (CPG) 2nd quarter results?
