Investment Q&A

Q: The proxy battle is certainly heating up. Which way would you vote?

Q: Hi 5iResearch team,
Could you list companies that are in the light oil space? Which ones would you recommend? Thank you.

Q: Some hype today about CPG buying lots of land/drilling rights in the Duvernay. Is this a time to buy CPG?

Thanks!

Q: peter; Do you see anything on CPG this am to account for the drop on high volume? I know oil is down a bit , and a few other stocks are a bit weaker, but nothing like Cpg. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter an team, I've had these two darlings for a while, so of course I'm down. In a previous question when the price of oil was much lower you said they could rally if the price of oil would rise. How come there hasn't been a bit of a rally in these two. Thanks, Nick

Q: For energy sector I have these four companies. Sure, I am under water with all, but this is probably irrelevant. All offer good dividend, so I have time to wait. They have some debt too, which I don't really like. Please comment on the prospects for these companies: at this moment can you consider them value or value traps? Or, are they a hold? Are the dividents sustainable?

Q: Can you suggest 2 or three names in the oil space that are particularly leveraged to the price of oil and preferably optionable?

Thank-you.

Q: have an assortment of small cap oils in small amounts I'd like to clean up.
Which would you keep, and which dump?

Q: Crescent Point has bounced nicely from its lows, far more than other cdn oil names, any thoughts about reviewing your negative disposition toward the company?

Q: TOG,WCP.CPG,Vet seem to have upside ,would this be good time to add at this part of cycle,currently have no oil and 1 gas ALA.Which order would you list if investing in 2.

Q: Hello Peter.
Just read your Post article and looked into current losses for pruning. My losses are the four highlighted.
I have a sense however that it is too early to prune the small caps(ITC, GUD and PTE) since I have held them for very short duration; not even a single earnings report. And it is likely a good idea to hang on to CGX given its monopoly position and new slate of movies generating Buzz.
I continue to hold CPG for the now 3% dividend and hope of investors returning to Canada and CPG.

Except CPG, all the losses are small $ value as I was only beginning to step into each of the small caps as they tumbled........(and all the losses are in registered accounts)

Would you allow these names to be included in the new years clean up or give them more time to let current themes run their course; current oil price movement for CPG and business execution for ITC, CGX, GUD and PTE?

Thanks
Dave

Q: hi , I hold these 3 stocks , hwo at a small gain the others at a big loss. I need some short term cash what should I sell, ps I think I will get out of energy this year . as oil is likely to pull back what is your view. thx Jack

Q: Am I wrong in thinking that CPG could do quite nicely in a high $50 oil environment. Just their high volume of 170000 bpd would lend itself to the bottom line and lift the stock. They are also light oil and producing in both the Us and Canada.
Thank you gord

Q: Hi,
Unfortunately I bought some of these energy stocks back in 2014 and I am down +30% on all of these. I have just over a 5% weight currently in energy (not including ALA, ENB and TRP which I've included as part of utilities). Which do you think I should continue to hold and which ones should I just throw in the towel and sell?? I am a long term growth investor.

Q: Good Morning: I have been selling down my shares in Crescent Point (finally throwing in the towel) but want to keep some exposure to oil/gas in case of a turn. I grant that it's hard to be optimistic about the sector at the moment, but would you please share your 3 or 4 "best bets" for the space. I would prefer to stay in the Canadian sector and I generally prefer, but am not insistent upon, dividend paying names. Thanks.

Q: What are your thoughts on tax loss selling either or both of these names. Is there a danger of being cought out of the stock?

Q: What's happening to CPG today?

Q: OIL???? is it time to think about revisiting this slippery slope? I have been pretty much out for several years. Is this a cautious entry point for some beat up names? I know how fast the taps can turn on and off and the fracking effects. Is the current Saudi prince thing in the news a huge long or short term factor to consider and finally would you go large of small cap to start a new position. Personnel note I waited to see your how your new layout would work and liked it so much I renewed for two years Good Job

Q: Hello 5i,
Congratulations for your new website and thank you for your good work.

In my TFSA, I have the following stocks:

Aberdeen Asia-Pacific Inc.
Chesswood Group
Crescent Point Energy
Photon Control (You had recommended this one a few months ago, and I am up 16%. Thank you for the good recommendation.)
Sherritt Intl.

I am down 70% on Crescent Point and 55% for Sherritt.

I have a 10 year plus investing time horizon.

Should I hold onto CPG and S and just be patient?
If not, and you recommend to sell either one or both of them, what stock(s) would you recommend as a replacement?

I am looking for growth and income.
Currently, CPG is around $4,000 and so is S.
Thank you.

Q: Please comment on Crescent Points quarterly earnings report.
