Q: Hi 5i - I have 10% invested in these energy stocks, now worth 5% of my portfolio. Would you put any new money in any of these to take advantage of the run up in oil? Or just sit tight and hope for a recovery (or sell outright)? Thanks, Neil

Q: At the current share price of around Can $3.50 CPG has an enterprise value of about 6 billion ($4 billion in debt and $2 billion in equity). CPG produces about 175,000 boe per day so that means it trade at around Can $34,000 flowing barrel. Isn't that an extremely cheap valuation? If so, could that cheap valuation attract a takeover offer. Even at a 50 per cent premium CPG is trading at a cheap price on a flowing barrel metric. Or is there such a lack of interest in the Canadian oil patch that no body cares that it trades cheaply?

Q: Good Morning: I hold positions in the above cdn. energy companies and not surprisingly am under water in all of them. Would like to reap the capital losses without being totally out of the sector. I'm looking at one of two possible options: 1, sell these and buy Vermillion; or 2. buy a cdn. etf that focuses on cdn. junior and mid cap oil and gas names. So, first, which of these strategies would you prefer, and second, if an etf, do you have some recommendations. I continue to consider my subscription to your advice and service good value. Thanks for your efforts. Don

Q: So, really beaten down on CPG at this point. I guess the lesson is to pick a sell point perhaps. My view is long term (ie. hold for 15+ years). I bought at an average cost of around $15. In your view should I ditch this, continue to hold, or double down at what seems like basement prices? Even 2 years ago when oil was trading for less CPG was triple where it is now. What gives?

Q: Sitting on a fairly significant position and loss with CPG in an RRSP. Wondering if it is time to take the loss if there is no foreseeable upside and potential asset write downs or to ride out an eventual recovery with oil prices. Able to hold for at least another 10 years.

Q: I don't think CPG's debt at 2.2 times cash flow is that big of an issue - VET and CNQ, for example, are at 1.7, so it seems to me to be manageable. They also hedge a fair amount of their production. I know management is in the penalty box, but it's trading at 2.1 times 2019 cash flow, which is ridiculous. This seems to be a "screaming" buying opportunity for patient investors. Thoughts?
