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: 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?

Q: Eric Nuttall has an interesting column in the Financial Post today saying investing in oil and gas right now is a 'generational opportunity', that Canadian oil and as are hugely undervalued and could double in a year. What do you think of increasing oil and gas holdings? How much do you think would be appropriate right now and do you still think Suncor is the way to go? I notice you have only a very small 1% holding in the balanced portfolio.
