Q: Hi, I have these two stocks in the energy sector for about two years. Down on avg. about 25-30%. I really have no faith that this sector will rebound anytime soon,but I'm in just for my sector weighting, and watching it go down every month.
I don't feel this is a good reason to own a stock.If you have a good stock in a bad sector you could be waiting 5 years or more to break even.
Why not get out of the sector and at least wait till the whole sector is up at least 10% before getting back in with the possibility of upward momentum? 5 years or longer is a long time to wait for any sector recovery.
Thanks

Q: Hello Team, I have around 10% of my TFSA money in CPG which has de-valued by 30% since buying. My question is should I consider selling, reducing or continue holding the position? The stock seems to depreciate much more than other energy stocks. I fail to understand the rapid slide down in price. Even in last year, when crude was around $30, the price of the stock was much higher than the present one. Any other news in the offing which I am missing? Thank you for all valuable suggestions that you have given me so far!

Q: I owned HWO for a number of years and was sad to sell it a few months ago but it seemed prudent in view of the uncertainty regarding the renewal of their contract to drill in PNG. The price subsequently dropped but has begun to rise again. Has there been any news on the renewal of the PNG contact and do you know how much of their revenue comes from this contract?
