Q: I have one stock in the oil and gas sector WCP which has shrunk to a .9% position .... I am starting to question whether I need to be in oil or gas at all. Of the following options which would 5I recommend ? Feel free to adjust the percentage level I have chosen to what 5I would recommend instead. There is cash reserves to add. Thanks for your terrific service.
1} sell and increase SIS from 2.6% to 3.2 %
2} Sell but stay in sector and increase to 2.5% in another stock like PXT { or 5I recommendation }
3} Add to WCP to 2.5% level
4} Sell and add to cash reserves until next purchase decision made.
5} Keep WCP the way it is.

Q: Hi 5iR, I have been out of investing in energy stocks for a while, however with oil back down in the low $50.00 range I'm reviewing a few names. TOG and SGY appear to be very attractively priced and pay an excellent dividend. I can't seem to find any negative analyst reporting on either one?? Maybe that's telling me something?? In addition, TD has just raised its' target price on both of them and TOG has increased it's dividend. TD's Target Price on TOG is $8.50, which would mean better than 100% upside at todays price of $4.00
The story with VET is a little cloudy......they do have a lot of debt, but the management team is excellent and the European exposure means more cash for their product.
My questions are: is the oil sector a place to start allocating some funds now and how do the above names stack up as investment choices?
Thanks Team. Cheers, Chris

Q: Comment from Tony Marino president and CEO at VET at RBC global energy conference this week:
Under the current pricing environment, the company believes its dividend and capital program to be over-funded.
Vermilion expects to cover its dividend plus sustaining capital spend at a US$40/bbl WTI price, with growth capital covered
at US$50/bbl.
The company observed its elevated dividend yield but affirmed commitment to its current levels.
Reassuring for those worried!
