Q: I am selling my Conoco Phillips for tax loss reasons and looking at what to replace it with. What are your favourite big oil stocks? All the fundamentals look pretty bad to me but comparing charts over the last decade I find Chevron and CNRL seem to be stand out performers. I would prefer to have a good dividend which is fairly safe since I am semi retired.

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,

If you were purchasing today, what stocks and/or ETFs would you buy for each of the TSX eleven sectors? (Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, Energy, Financials, Healthcare, Industrials, Information Technology, Materials, Real Estate, Telecom, and Utilities). Please give at least two choices for each sector.

My daughter-in-law has finally sold her high-MER, low-performing mutual funds, and I have set up a self-directed account for her LIRA, her RRSP, and her TFSA. She is 48 and will probably work till at least 65.

Please feel free to deduct as many question credits as you deem necessary. Thanks in advance for all your valued assistance.

Q: Dear 5i Staff,
I would like to participate in the energy price recovery and the expected new US Administration favorable bias toward energy companies.
My question is it better to invest in Canadian or US energy companies now
Which of these stock you favor: Duke, Exxon, Chevron or maybe an ETF is better. Any other suggestion.
Thank you and best wishes for the season.

Q: Hi team,
following the company,s issue of close to a million shares due to the exercise of options, OPEC and non-OPEC members to cut oil production,would you recommend purchase of Ithaca,s shares as a good entry price or are the shares overvalued at the moment. With Stella scheduled to be operational would this add to the further rise in share prices?
Many thanks and a Merry Xmas season to all.

Q: I own both CVE & ECA for many years now .Back when they were one company (Encana).

Now that the recovery has taken place my diversification in energy is higher than I want it to be . I have Suncor and BP as my core companies and I want to get rid of either CVE and or ECA (maybe both).

Can you give me consensus estimate for both CVE and ECA. And can you give me your opinion as to which one I should get rid of (CVE or ECA).

Lastly do you believe SU and BP are good core company choices for my energy sector allocation.

Thank you
