Investment Q&A

Q: I owned COS from the IPO and was always happy with the yield. Now, of course, I own Suncor and am not happy with the yield. I am thinking of selling SU and buying a preferred share ETF, either ZPR or CPD or perhaps both, for the yield. What do you think? I am retired and living off dividend income.

Q: 5i I need help in Rebalancing my RRIF. Maybe I am too attached to my stocks. I asked about BIP and BEP and you indicated my energy sector at 22% of my RRIF was high and I agree. I need less volatility but do require income. Of the 22% CPG-T =10%, FRU-T =30%, PPL=35%,SGY=8%, VSN=12% and WCP=5%.I like everyone, require your wisdom.

Q: Good Morning: I want to realize some capital losses on the above energy positions (and others) but do not want to lose exposure to the energy asset class in case of a sudden move upwards (even though I don't expect that in the short term.) So, my plan is to sell all or parts of my losers and buy something else that will give me the same effective exposure. My question is as follows: First, what four stocks in the Cdn. energy sector would you recommend for a purchase at this time; and second, would an etf like XEG be an effective alternative for all or part of this strategy. I may even buy back some of the positions I am currently selling after the 30 day wait period has passed. As always, many thanks. Don

Q: Am thinking of increasing my Energy Sector. Already have SU & ARX and considering adding CNQ or VET. What would be your choice here and how would that (or any other you would prefer) compare with SU & ARX? Looking at the next 1 to 2 yrs only. Of course I understand you may say 'don't increase'. Always look forward to your answers. Thks guys

Q: Can you give me your opinion of this company in view of its latest announced acquisition? Thanks very much

Q: I have no exposure to the oil and gas sector. I am thinking of going 3% to 5% and would like your opinion on whether now is a reasonable time to re-enter this market. If so, would looking at the U.S. market be better than the Canadian Mkt. Any suggested companies or ETF's would be appreciated.

Cheers, Bob

Q: Peter; It looks to me that the vaunted LNG projects in BC are not going ahead in the next 5-10'years. Are their specific gas companies that will be affected if this happens? Thanks,

Q: Hi, will the approval of the LNG project in BC have any effect on TWM's business , negative or positive
Thanks

Q: Peter and His Wonder Team
I will not be offended if you choose not to answer this question...firstly it is a USA company and secondly it is a contrarian play. In having owned oil stocks during this downturn I am painfully aware of the risks involved. I am analyzing this company which has hugh upside if it can survive another year or two. They are being kicked out of the S&P600 on Oct. 3rd to be replaced by a healthier company. Since they are owned by mutual funds I expect there will be a further sell off. So how would you rate there survivability...there balance sheet, management strength and overall impression of this company within there sector.
Thanks for tackling this out of bounds company...
Respectfully yours...

Q: Although oil has been relatively stron this week any reason for the big move in WCP the last few days other than move in oil prices.

Couldn't find any news

Thanks

Sheldon

Q: Given that oil may have, at least, or at last, found a bottom, is RMP Energy a good buy at $1.07 and do you see muted or potentially significant upside?
Thanks.u

Q: I'm thinking of selling Shawcor for the loss and buying it back after 30 days. Do you think the stock will stay quiet for the next little while?
Thanks for your help.

Q: In light of the OPEC agreement today would you recommend an increase in the weighting of WCP?

Q: with the approval of the pacific northwest LNG pipeline would this benefit ENB or other pipelines more? or are there natural gas stocks close to the pipeline that could benefit when completed?
Thx

Q: Why has Granite Oil Corp taking such a big hit on more than double volume?
Is there any news?

Q: Hi Guys,

Just looking for some insight into PPY. They've recently released good news about production which seems to be ahead of schedule however the stock price has been dropping steady. Is this worth waiting it out or it it time to move on?

Q: /is there any reason why this stock has been going down for the past month while the price of gas is actually up

Q: Enbridge and TransCanada have both been buyers this year down south. Does consolidation of other Canadian energy infrastructure companies seem likely to happen and if so which ones would be most likely targets to be bought? Decent dividends and a good possability of a takeover seems like a good idea. THANKS

Q: Hello 5i
I am looking for your opinion on my selling Whitecap to realize a capital loss and replacing it with Raging River. Or might you have a better suggestion?
Thanks Les

Q: Hi
The platform has left the dock in Poland but there does not seem to be any news since then. With the promise of good returns from Stella and a seemingly stable oil price environment would you recommend buying in the current $1.10 price range
Thank you for your continued sage advice
