Investment Q&A

Q: CJ is about 5% of my cash portfolio and is down 40% since my purchase.Buy,sell,hold?

Q: Hi Guys! I like and respect Eric Nuttall very much which is why i bought his SPR 006 Fund about 6 months ago. I'm down abut 30%. I've seen him on BNN many times bragging about his fund appreciating by about 60+ % last year. BUT when I look at his Fund Fact sheet, it show NEGATIVE Returns for all Previous Years. What am I missing?

Thanks as always!

Q: Could you please give me your opinions on USCO US Cobalt (formerly Scientific Metals Corp) on the venture exchange? Thank you

Q: Hello Peter et al:

What is your opinion of SDX? It has some interesting potential in Egypt and Morocco. Natural Gas prices in Morocco is about $9 per Mscf. That is close to 4 times the price in North America. It is a small cap play so it is risky. I have a small position in it.

Brendan

Q: Hi 5i Team,

I have PD and I am currently down close to 40%. I am interested in selling and moving the remained of the money into GUD. I feel like PD is dead money for a long time. What are your thoughts on this trade?

Thank you.

Q: Hello 5i
Would appreciate your current 6 top picks in oil and gas producers. 3 gas and 3 oil preferably.
Many thanks

Q: Hi folks, My question is about Frac sand production. Is there a company that you could recommend that would be of interest, or would you stay clear of the industry all together. Thanks very much. Keep up the great work.

Q: A guest on BNN market call suggested that Vermillion will not be able to sustain its dividend because they are giving out more money then they are bringing in revenue. And that Vet is the next Crescent Point. Your analysis please.
Thanks.

Q: I am looking into investing in Canadian shale plays (i.e. Duvernay basin). Can you suggest any names that look interesting, from a drilling and infrastructure perspective?
Thanks.

Q: 1. I want to make sure I'm not overweight in oil and gas. Since some utility companies have gas, do they count as utility sector or oil and gas?

I own FTS, ENB, ALA and WCP. Obviously WCP is a pure oil and gas stock and FTS is a utility because its electric, but how would you classify ALA and ENB? Globe and mail investor classifies ENB as oil and gas and ALA (although ALA does have gas so I am confused) as utility which would put me at:

WCP, ENB oil and gas
ALA and FTS Utility

Do you agree with the above? This would give me an 8% weighting in each?

2. I was also thinking of using my cash position to add kwh.un which i believe classifies as a utility due to the focus on electric. It would bring me to a 12% weighting in utilities if my above sector allocations are correct. I have all ten sectors represented in my portfolio and would be buying for the dividend. what do u think?

Q: Hi team, I've held CVE from the split of ECA I have 100 shares my cost is 29.17 would you buy more here to lower my cost and hope for a recovery or sell it and forget that I ever had it. Thanks, Nick

Q: Any additional thoughts on CJ's APA asset purchase? What is the likelihood that they will be in financial position to develop the newly purchased assets over the next 12 months?

Q: I can not figure why CJ is down so much today as they seemed to have completed a fair and accreditive deal with Apache. Could it be Americans bailing on a Canadian asset?

Q: Own 1/4 position in HWO(down 20%)& 1/2 pos.in Ala.r(down 1.4%).Should I continue to hold both & add some.Appreciate u usual great services & advices

Q: Any insights as to why CJ stopped trading this afternoon?

Q: Hi 5i,

I do not have any oil/gas stock at the moment. I would like to start picking away at VET, WCP ad RRX with 1% position each or 2% for one or two only
I am a little hesitant for VET because of its recent behaviour lately and wonder if there may be a dividend cut coming. Would like your opinion for best action with these stocks. Thanks (consider this as 3 questions)

Q: Have held these 2 stocks for several years at a very substantial loss,dividends are good, however share price continues to PLUMMIT. Is it time to take the loss and move on or hold and PRAY? They are in my cash account. Thank You

Q: I see that xop was going to offer shares at half a cent to raise money to drill another well. My question is has this already happen I looked online can't ssee where the price was ever at .005 cents and if it does happen will I be able to buy at this price or will it just drive the price up more there sittin at 1 cent right now. I buy all my stocks online don't know how quick this will be

Q: Hi Team
I previously asked if adding Vermilion Energy to my portfolio to accompany Whitecap Resources would be ok. After reading your response (which was favourable to the idea) I did not yet pull the trigger as oil conttinues to be volatile.
At this stage should I buy more of WCP, to average down, I'm down 17% on the name or would this be a good time to add VET. The only other energy play in my portfolio is Enbridge.

Thank-you in advance. Sam

Q: Looks like the oil market is trying hard to push producers out of the business. If WTI price was to settle at 44.00 for the next two years, would Vermillion have positive cash flow? Assuming this is the right metric to use to decide if the company can survive without selling assets.
