Q: Thank you for the wonderful support which has been invaluable.
I recently invested in Valeura Energy which has been test drilling for natural gas and condensate in Turkey. They announced positive interim production test results from the the Yamalik-1 well ... the first of four. Can I have your assessment? Thank you

Q: I have only one oil/gas stock WCP down 38% and a 1.6% position. I only have that because I feel I should have something in the sector. Lately I've noticed a disconnect between the price of oil and the stock price movement. I know WCP is one of 5I's favorites but I'm wondering if my lonely representation in the sector wouldn't be served better by ZEO which yields about the same. Opinion ?

Q: I recently read that the energy companies that will benefit most from rising oil prices are conventional producers with low debt. Given this, I am thinking of replacing a position in SGY with WCP. Does this make sense to you? I also have a position in RRX that I would keep.

Q: Hello 5i,

Just a question about insider purchases ...
BDI has had ongoing purchases by Edward Kernaghan, of Indirect Ownership of Common Shares.
https://www.canadianinsider.com/company?ticker=BDI
For the past couple of months he (or his groupl) have been buying small (<500) and large lots (>60,000) on a daily basis.
I am assuming he is purchasing these for clients but it seems odd that it has been going on for as long as it has (since October).
From your experience, what if any insight can be gleaned form this information?
Any info or comments would be welcome!
Thanks,

Q: YGR is seemingly highly rated and has been up more than 200% this year already. Is it still a buy at this level (closed at $4.79 on Friday)? Energy stocks could be back in vogue and with every sector almost already fully priced, it may be their turn.

I have dedicated about 5% of my total capital for very short term (say, no more than a month) high risk investments. Right now I am holding ENB in this slot ( a result of my recent bottom fishing) and I would like to flip it for something else before the Enbridge media day in December. Just in case Enbridge may say something untoward and jeopardizes its pledged dividend increases, or lower its guidance for 2018. After all this company had missed its earning targets for about six quarters. I could lose my modest ENB gain so far, and perhaps more.

Would YGR be a better choice for a bigger short term gain than ENB? Thanks for your take on this idea.
