Investment Q&A

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: How do these Companies return to Shareholders, without increasing the likelihood of making themselves a target for a takeover ?

Q: Which E nergy stocks are still buyable?

Q: Hi group - I am a medium risk investor - Can you please give me your top picks + % weighting in the top sectors - Financial, Industrials, Materials , Energy, Health care , real estate, Tech Thanks

Q: Hello Peter and team
What is your view on Topicus' results? Any concerns? Also, would you be okay to switch from cenovus to Tamarack Valley? Thanks very much.

Q: TVE has just issued $200 of "sustainability-linked bonds" at 7.25%. Just looking for your opinion on this. The coupon seems high and issued at a time when their stock is high, offering an alternative funding mechanism. Is there motivation here from the standpoint of gaining points in the ESG beauty contest?

Q: If I had to buy only one energy ETF, which would you choose?

If I had to buy only one large cap energy stock, which would you choose?


If I had to buy only one mid cap energy stock, which would you choose?

Your thoughts on TVE please.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and Team,

In general, how many stocks in the energy sector should one hold? I'm asking this because Portfolio Analytics is suggesting an increase in this sector. At present, we hold ENB, TVE, and TOU, with TVE being the largest holding. Are there any other complementary names that we should consider? I'd like to adopt an equal-weight strategy for this sector. Would you agree? I've been thinking about adding ARX and SU, and as always, appreciate your guidance.

Q: best chance for growth? 1-4

Thank you so much LORRAINE

Q: I have only CNQ in energy. I am wondering about adding one more holding as I read the answers to other members - that energy would be a good place to hide in the event that Russia does move ahead, and that there is some room for growth left in the sector. I'm particularly interested in adding a second holding for growth, and am not very concerned about risk. Please suggest a company for a second holding. Thanks!

Q: which one has the best chance for growth

thank you Lorraine

Q: At present, I own HWX, I was thinking of buying one more energy stock and was looking at either PXT or TVE. What would be your choice and reason why. Also with the big rise in oil, is it too late in the game to make such a purchase. Thanks

Q: I own the above cdn. energy names and would like to add to one or two of them. Would you please rate them from best to worst in your opinion, and which one, based on current valuation and other metrics, you would add to at this time. Many thanks, Don

Q: Greetings - Considering the impressive returns from the energy sector last year, the leadership of the sector so far this year, the current supply demand scenario for oil , the likelihood of greater US production, geopolitical realities, and what we might see in the next 3 to 6 months (insofar as there is any clarity that far out) 1. Is energy a 5 or 6 year investment or more likely a shorter term trade. 2. Does it seem to you that the oil price is more likely to continue to climb throughout the next 6 months rather than to recede. 3.Which 3 of these 8 listed securities offers the best upside and which 3 the least risk and thirdly if you had to pick just one to buy a full position of today which one of the eight would you personally click the buy button on and would you be comfortable doing so at the current price.
Thank you for the input - Ken

Q: Dear 5i
Which of TVE or PXT has the highest earnings growth rate over the next 2 years ? Would either one be suitable in a TFSA ?
Thanks

Q: any small cap oil and gas stocks capturing your attention for good reasons?

Q: Hello Peter,
For the oil and gas sector, what do you think of Arc Resources and Tamarack Valley? Do you think they are too high or considering the oil price and if it continues to tick higher, the stocks will do well. Much appreciated.

Q: Hi Everyone at 5i! If you only have funds to purchase one of these, which one would you prefer? Cheers, Tamara

Q: At today's prices what would your favourite 5, profitable and growing small/mid cap stocks be and 5 profitable and growing large caps be?

Thanks again for your calm, rational reassurances that this is not the first time (nor the last) that the market has taken an ugly turn down ........ and that each and EVERY time it eventually recovers to reach new highs. Its easy to make money when everything is going up, the key is to minimize what you lose (most often by doing nothing) when everything is going down.

Thanks for the wisdom

Scott

Q: Assuming oil prices remain range bound for the next 12 months at today's level, can you suggest some decent energy companies to buy for (up to a )1 year hold? Thank you.
