Q: Hi,

If you remove your "long term focus" hat and put on a different hat, is there an opportunity to get out of the energy stocks that have seen their values skyrocket since the war in Iran, and re-enter them once things settle back down?

I know you will say that this is timing the market and we don't know if the prices will settle back down, but isn't there a strong likelihood that prices will not remain at these current levels once shipping and production returns to normal?

Thanks,

Robert

Q: Because of the issues in the middle east and oil shortage for the near future I am thinking of bringing my oil holdings up from 5% to 10% I own these pipeline and oil companies. I was thinking of selling my pipeline companies and moving more into oil producers. My thought was to top up SU, CVE, WCP, and add TVE. Do you see any issues with this strategy, or with companies selected?

Thanks Dave

Q: Four oil companies make up 30 percent of my portfolio. Purchased during covid and have had big gains in all four. The yield on cardinal based on cost base is 22 percent. This is stupid I know but if not for these four my portfolio is a disaster. It’s basically kept me flat while the tech sector has taken a dive. Should I start to exit some of the oil positions and where do you go if the majority of the 5i favourites are all ready owned ?

Q: I’ve been putting some money into oil and gas stocks and energy service names over the last couple of weeks. That was a timely blog post on EFX yesterday, and my question relates to that company and PSI. Given the current elevated oil price environment, do you have a preference between the two (this question bakes in an assumption that you still like PSI, given that it’s in the portfolio, but correct me otherwise), or do you view them as complementary enough that owning both would be appropriate? If you do favour one over the other, please explain why.

Q: A Wall street Journal article today paint a dire picture for LNG supply for the next few years. "Even if the Trump administration and Iran agree to end the war soon, the consequences for the LNG market will be long-lasting—and even more profound than for oil, experts say."
Even if the war ends overnight, it will take the gas market much longer to return to normal than oil,” A lot of the slack in the system used to be picked up by LNG, so the knock-on effects are massive.

My question: what stocks do you see that will benefit from this shortage of LNG?

Q: This is a follow-up to a question asked by Josh on Canadian junior oil producers. As part of your answer today you stated "One theme to also consider is service companies. Energy companies are going to be flush with cash at $90+ oil prices."

My question is, service companies such as....?

Thank you.

Q: This stock has seen a consistent decrease over the past while in an environment where energy / utilities have rallied and when HALO stocks have gained traction.

Is there something missing as it seems TA has solid growth for a utility and is based in a province where energy abundance + population growth + favorable government + data center opportunities + Brookfield ownership / partnership all seem to be favorable tailwinds.

Am I missing something as this seems to be a good idea for growth and was recently on the Best Stock Idea list.

Q: sI’ve been heavily allocated to Canadian energy producers over the past year, primarily through ETFs and large-cap names.

What I haven’t seen yet is a meaningful breakout in the junior oil producer names (ie. leveraged to the price of oil) compared to what we saw with the juniors in the gold and silver market over the winter.

I’m interested in gaining exposure further down the market cap spectrum and would appreciate your perspective on where the best opportunities may lie in Canadian junior producers.

Specifically:
Which sub-$1 billion market cap Canadian oil producers do you see as most compelling today?

Are there particular companies you believe are attracting institutional interest or are positioned for a re-rating if oil prices are maintained or strengthened?

And more broadly, do you expect the juniors to lag this cycle, or is this simply a timing issue before capital rotates down the cap stack?

Any specific names or themes you’re watching in that segment would be greatly appreciated.
