Q: I’m currently holding Enbridge, CNQ, HME, and Whitecap, and I’m sitting on attractive gains. Given today’s market environment — including oil price volatility, sector valuations, and shifting interest rate expectations — I’d like your guidance on whether it makes sense to start taking profits. My risk tolerance is medium to high, so I’m comfortable with some volatility, but I still want a disciplined approach. Should we be trimming these positions into strength, using trailing stops, or rebalancing to manage my energy exposure? I’d appreciate your view on the most appropriate profit‑taking strategy for my situation.
Thanks for your help. Rick

Q: Hello,

Losing patience with Telus. Div nice but down 37% in the 4yrs owned. Position sits at 1%.
Cut bait and re-deploy looks very attractive. Willing to skip Canadian telecoms for now in favour of better growth and stability going forward.

Thoughts? Hate taking a loss in a non-taxable account but Telus has been very disappointing and doesn’t look like anything is changing.

Q: I took position simultaneously in those 2 stocks a few months ago for : 1) diversification in the energy sector 2) future potential vs IA .I am surprised that EXE is lagging so much ( - 13%) compared to ARX ( +5%), considering that : it is a larger Cie, closer to terminals , number 1 producer in the USA , etc...your general feedback,and your point of view vs long term safe investments shall be very appreciated ..
