Q: Would like to increase my weighting in resources. I have PKI,ENB,PPL equal weighting at around 3% each. Would like to sell one of them then acquire 2 producers large/small cap with yield with equal weighting at 3%. Could you rank the one to sell and suggestion some producers ?

Q: Hello Peter, Can I have your opinion please?

I am wondering if it might be a good idea to reduce my holdings in gold and silver stocks (maybe exit all my positions?), at least until May and buy some in the energy sector from the proceeds.
The reason behind this stems from yields going up- maybe the 10 yr goes to 2%. How likely is that? Apparently, the seasonal period of gold starts in summer.

My stocks in gold are at both ends of the large/small caps such as AEM/KL,FNV, KRR,MMX,WDO and PAAS.
I am under represented in energy with ENB,PPL and ALA.
What would be your suggestion? And if you agree, could you give me 1or 2 names to let go and 1 or 2 names to add.
Always appreciative of your thoughts.
Regards
Rajiv

Q: Hi 5i Team - I am considering selling part of my Algonquin Power holding and diversifying into the same field. My first choice is either BAM, BEP or BEPC but I'm not sure which of the three to pick since they are all related. Could you assist me by providing a brief description of the differences between the three and your preference, if any. Also is there another company in the same space that you would recommend.
Thanks.

Q: I know you generally recommend 10% as a maximum weighting for the energy sector. However my weighting in my unregistered Canadian cash account is now 32% because I followed Eric Nuttall and got in early. I am reluctant to sell for two reasons. One, I would face very substantial capital gains taxes. Two, I believe there is considerable further upside. I am a senior and my question is: is there any practical way of protecting these gains apart from significant selling? I would appreciate Peter's advice.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan, and 5i Team,

Do you have a recent opinion of HUC? I'm thinking of it as a way to use dividends from our other holdings to periodically buy shares, as we can buy and sell HUC at no cost with iTrade. Being underweight in the energy sector, holding only ENB and PKI, I'm thinking that it's a good way to "dip our toes" into this commodity ETF. I do understand that HUC can be volatile, and has relatively high fees, but as a managed ETF, its MER doesn't seem to me to be excessive.

Your thoughts please, and thanks in advance.

Q: Hello Peter and the 5i team;

Wish you the very best for the new year.

I have ENB and PPL as my energy holdings. I am looking to add another, this time in the RRSP a/c.
Could you give me one name on the tsx , with perhaps a higher correlation to crude prices?
Regards
Rajiv

Q: After averaging down and waiting (far too long) I have entered break-even territory with this holding. There now appears to be significant momentum occurring. I am also quite overweight with this stock in a TFSA but would like to finally enjoy the benefits of price and dividend increases in the industry. Do you have any suggestions for swapping this holding for a more diversified security still expected to benefit by the uptick in energy stock values? I own no pipeline securities.
