Q: Hello Peter, Ryan & Team,

For Energy exposure, I have RRX (down 25%), HWO (down 25%), and TOU (down 45%). As well as ENB, which I consider a utility.

For re-balancing purposes, my energy exposure is pretty thin. I know you don't recommend buying in negative momentum, but for adding to Engergy, I was thinking of topping these three up. Or can you think of any others you would replace these with, as RRX and HWO are in a taxable account.

Thank you for all you do,

Wes

Q: Good day - What are your best recommended/favorite oil and gas producers at this time? With and without dividend. Is a dividend paying producer something you would consider?

Q: Tourmaline has been in a bit of a freefall lately. Should i consider tax loss selling the stock? What companies should i consider in the switch? I have a very low % of oil and gas stocks in my portfolio no counting enbridge and transcanada.

Also a firm expressed that DAP-U is good value selling at a reasonable price; do you agree?

Q: In terms my diversification, I am down in energy due to the slump in that sector. Would you recommend that I add to 1 or 2 of the four energy stocks I currently hold (VET, RRX, TOU, HWO) or hold off until there are more positive signals in the sector? Thanks.

Q: Hello Peter and staff:
I hold shares of Tourmaline in my RRIF account and they are down 47% and I was thinking of selling them and investing the money in shares of Rio Tinto.
Your thoughts on these two companies and the soundness of this switch.
In my question today, I forgot to ask that since common shares of Rio Tinto are being purchased in a RRIF account, is there foreign tax withheld from the dividend that it pays?
Thank again
Thank you.

Q: hello 5i:
I'm looking at a possible upgrade for our portfolio, as almost all energy names are down (and substantially), to date. Please rank the following, best to worst, using dividend, safety and growth in that order as criteria. This is a long term hold, so > 3 years. And would ALA be a better fit in the Utilities sector than energy?
thanks

Q: Hello 5i
I hold the above 4 companies in a taxable account that are down approx. 25%. I would like to sell to take a tax loss against future capital gains, and repurchase after 30 days. What might you suggest deploying the funds into in the mean time to still keep the sector allocation?
Thank you
Les
