Q: Hi Peter,

I am a bit underweight in the energy sector of my portfolio. I wish to increase my weighting in this sector by five percent. Which of the companies listed below would you consider holding over a five to ten period? Please provide the order of selection. Or would you recommend buying an ETF for this sector as a better choice from a risk-return perspective? If so, what would be your ETF best pick(s) be?

SU
CNQ
OXY
CVX
PSX
TTE
ENB
XOM
DVN
COP
SHEL
MRO

Thanks

George

Q: Hi folks
Today Feb 6, XLE is $85.45 as I type. I believe i read in the Q and A that you mentioned that if XLE dropped below $85.00 that the sector is rolling over. Is this still the case? If so what would you suggest I do if anything? My weighting is 9.5%. I own ENB, SHEL, HES, TOU, TVE, PEY, SU, PXT with each at varying weights. (ENB being the highest at 3.35% and I realize also a Utility)
Thankyou as always..much appreciated.

Q: What are the reasons that SHELL under performed XOM on both short term and long term basis? What are the catalysts for SHELL to narrow the gap?

Thanks.
