Q: Dear Peter et al:

A "Drill down" from the top type of a question!

In Energy sector, these three things seem to be important.
a. Pay down debt.
b. Keep paying healthy dividend or even increase it.
c. Buy back shares.

Recently Cole Smead came on a podcast and clearly laid out his case for his preference to invest in companies that buy back shares. (In the Money by Amber Kanwar, erstwhile BNN Bloomberg Marketcall host).

What is your take on this? What are the 3 companies in the Energy sector that you like using Share buy backs as the metric?

Thanks in advacnce.

P.S. Hope we see you Peter on Amber Kanwar's In the Money podcast. It seems to be getting some traction now.

Q: I am an 80 year old income investor with some growth. I have $20,000 to employ. The above is a list of my losers out of 50 winners in a portfolio of mostly the Income Portfolio plus 15 yield maximizer ETF's like UMAX. Should I:
1. wait for your monthly advice before acting
2. distribute evenly accross the losers
3. add to the winners
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Please take as many credits as needed.
Thank you
