Q: I continue to hold CPG long hoping for further recovery. Given the oil price seems to be holding a bit higher I am anticipating a continued ramping up of free cash flow and rising SP. Overall this has been a dog in my portfolio. Based on valuation metrics and the +$45 price of oil is a $10 target (mine) reasonable in the next year or two? Or would there have to be a significantly higher oil price to get that SP level? If the question is too specific general commentary is fine. Thank-you for your service. 2020 was my best year for investing, ever.

Q: I own these three energy stocks. They are now in the positive, WCP up 74%, CPG 12% and TVE 7%. I think I'll keep WCP a little longer based on your answer to an earlier question, but with respect to the other two, should I just be happy I'm green again and cut and run? Or, do you see them rising with the sector in the coming period of positivity? Thanks!

Q: On May 13 you responded to a question regarding the probability/possibility
of bankruptcy/restructuring of Crescent Point Energy as a 6 on scale of 0-10.
I found that quite concerning. Do you still stand on that given the improvements in oil pricing and can you elaborate further? I am a long term SH and have lost significant funds to the downturn of CPG.

Q: I am a "buy and hold" long term investor. I have held these stocks for over five years on the assumption that at least one of the pipelines would be built and the stocks would regain at least some of their losses. Of course that hasn't happened. With the Covid-19 situation I am concerned about a serious downturn in the economy during the next 18 months. As these stocks are already extrememly low, I am wondering if they will survive, let alone improve, during the next year or so. Based on income, debt levels, and future prospects, please rank each company according the possibility of failure.

Q: Hello 5i, I have a 5% position in each of above companies and I am down over 40%. I am prepared to be patient for another 8-12 months, but with WCS selling per barrel at less than the price of a beer, will these companies survive? what is their debt to equity ratio? Is it time to bail out now? depending on your assessment which one would you consider safe to keep?
Thanks and be well!

Q: I rode this stock down a long ways and understand now I was also significantly overweight in it. In order to B/E it would have to recover another $10 or so. The dividend is hardly worth the paperwork now. Any suggestions as to how to address this? I have held it as an income earner and wonder if I shouldn’t sell and move into some of the smaller oil/gas players to improve returns and prospects. Thanks.

Q: In a recent answer to a question on an oil company, you mentioned that it is hard to be optimistic on a company if you don't like the management team. So my question is, which of the management teams in the oil sector would you want to align yourself with, and why? Alternatively, which of the management teams would you not align yourself with? Please deduct as many credits as necessary to fully answer my question. Thank You.
