Q: What are your thoughts on the current offer for Meg Energy presuming it goes through. If we keep Cenovus stock we would have a half position.

We also own an almost full position in CNQ and TOUR. Have a full position in ENB. Those last 3 are about 5% of our portfolios.

I'm mostly looking at this as providing me with more cash but might hold the half position of Cenovus if the future is bright. (I know you don't have a crystal ball!)

Would you keep the half position of Cenovus or instead sell Cenovus and use the cash to add more to TOUR or CNQ?

We're retired, conservative investors.

Q: Hello,
I own the following O&G producers and this is about 12.5% of the portfolio.
CNQ 2%, Tour 2%, Meg 2%, TVE 2.5%, WCP 1.5%, HWX 1%, Ath 1.5%
I want to raise cash and would probably sell about half.

My view point is from a conservative, retired senior, but looking through next 2-5 years with these. I think the best ones to keep are CNQ, Tourmaline, Tamarack Valley and Meg - maybe sell off TVE if good gains over next year or two.
Would like your opinion on what to sell/hold.
Do you agree or perhaps would you reduce all evenly? (I prefer to manage at a few less stocks.)

Would you exchange any stock or have other other recommendations?

Thank you very much

Q: Given the possibility of a recession and the certainty of volatility for the next couple years, can you give me 4 CDN and 4 US stocks/etf's, you think might provide some safety and reliable, albeit moderated returns? The equities I've listed are my ideas.
