Q: Good morning,

I added these at the very low point of energy. 5% equal weight of my portfolio, now it becomes 20% ish. I am looking to cutting down by half. Should I keep the pipelines ENB & PPL & VET and cut the rest or just reduce across equal weight. Your thought is very much appreciated.

Thanks again!

Q: Years ago I bought CJ at $4.20 and recently sold it when it reached that price again. Obviously, a mistake as it is now $7.72. I own WCP and VET which are now back to my original purchase price.
What do I do ? The oil and gas sector is cyclical and I wish to exit this sector as am retired and rely on a safer higher dividend portfolio but do not want to repeat selling these too early. Do I follow analysis target price and /or other metrics, or do I just bail out , happy to get my money back? Thanks .

Q: I hold ERF, NVA, ARX, TVE, GXE, and VET in the "play money" part of my portfolio and I'm certainly benefiting from and enjoying the large increases but I know all good things must end and sometimes quite abruptly.

Are there a couple of key indicators I should be particularly watching for that it's time to get out of all of these quickly before I give up all my easy gains?

Thank you,

John

Q: As I write this Feb 23/22 Russia has begun to bomb Kyiv in Ukraine. All market commentators are saying that oil will go up with this invasion as a catalyst. Do you agree? please name a ticker or two or three. I have noticed Devon DVN and GUSH the three times leverage.
I am down about 20% in my Tesla shares in a margin account. I will probably be margin called in the next few days.
I could trim my position taking a 20-25%.
Should I put something into Oil as this Russian conflict persists?

Q: Hello 5I team: At one point I was down 87% on vet.Some how I had the conviction to hold. Now today when it broke 23$ I was finally ahead . Do you foresee enough upside potential for me to continue to hold and make back some of my grief or could you see a switch with more less risky upside.Lots of noise about 100$ oil. Appreciate very much your input and tks.Larry

Q: I sold VET last month as a tax loss harvest and bought NNRG as a replacement. I'm thinking of now switching back to VET. It seems to have done better than NNRG over the last month. Would you endorse this switch back? This is for medium risk profile and an already existing portfolio of oil & gas stocks.

Q: Vermillion has been quite a bit higher in the past years. Now with oil around $80, although the stock is up it is not getting back to where it was a few years ago. Is it company specific issues like maybe debt or does the market not trust oil staying at $80? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Thank you.

Q: Hello 5iii

Just looking for your perspective on the energy sector / wti increase having further gains to year end or even Q1 22 ? I have many positions that are near back to break even or now even positive. Please advise TY

Q: Is your opinion on VET improving? Seems like they might be at the "right place, right time" since a fair chuck of their cash flow is associated with European natural gas. The supply there is being pinched by Russia and spot prices are rising rapidly. Haven't looked in detail but it seems that VET's cash flow should be very high going forward, especially if they can hedge at high prices. Would guess they can reinstate some dividend. Thoughts?
