Q: Hi 5i:

Great advice in2020! Wonderful service. I currently hold KL and ABX at @ 2.5% of portfolio. Looking to add a junior producer to increase my weighting. Which would you prefer from EQX, WDO and BTO and what advantage would it have over the other choices? In addition, having done well with TOU (2%), I would like to add to my gas position. My choice is ARX. Advice or other suggestions please. Existing positions and new purchases would be in TFSA. Please deduct form question credits as appropriate.

To staff and families at 5i - be safe and stay well and thank you.

Tom

Q: Please take as many question credits
you need to fully answer this. I would like growth and reasonably safe stocks. I have losses in all of these; should I sell and take the loss? Hold as they are likely to recover in next 6--12 months? Thanks. Helen

Q: I own ARX, PSI and XEG. Momentum in ARX is improving and I am just above water. I am down 66% with PSI. My other holding in the energy sector is XEG. I am considering selling PSI and investing the proceeds in ARX. What do you think? Thank you.

Q: I hold these energy related stocks which are all in the red from 15% to 45%. In what order would you rank them? Would you sell all of them or keep some? If there is no tax loss that can be offset against tax gain, would you still sell some or all of them?

Q: Hi, if i want some canadian exposure to energy, do you believe I should take a basket approach ? Like I buy an equal position in those 4 stocks ? Do you think it could offer wide appreciation potential ? If you have a better suggestion or other stocks to propose, feel free. Thanks !

Q: Boy these companies' stock prices took a hit. I appreciate many mid-size PNG companies will likely go bankrupt with the drop in oil prices. But I always liked these companies as I understood they had lower costs of production than many of their competitors.
1. Is that assumption correct?
2. How would you assess the strength of their balance sheet?
3. Do you see these 2 companies as ones that are at high risk of going bankrupt in the near future?

Q: Given the abysmal condition of the oil & gas sector and the apparent attempts of Russia and the Saudi's to further roil negative market activity, some long-term opportunities must be in the offing. Which oil & gas producers have the strongest balance sheet, lowest cost of production and are, generally, the most likely to survive these current circumstances?
