Q: Anything new to add on ESN ? Some of my other resource related stocks (TOU, WCP) have had a nice pop so far this year. ESN seems a bit stuck. I'd really like to keep holding for a turnaround (that I hope might come in 2017-18). I realize any recovery is likely tied to the price of oil/gas but is ESM a "healthy" company based on metrics that matter to 5i? I have 4-5 years at least.

Q: Hi 5i,
I just read an article explaining how oil exploration has been at its lowest point in 60 years for the last 2-3 years. With demand forecasted to continue growing it would stand to reason that this will lead to a shortage and price increase. Beyond broad market etfs, I don't have any energy exposure. What would you recommend as a good long term way to get this sector into my portfolio?

Thanks!

Q: Peter and team:
I am down a lot on these two names. How do you see their recovery in the near term vs. oil stocks, assuming we see $60 oil in 2017?
I guess I am asking for your thoughts on selling these and getting in to something like RRX, SGE or WCP?

Thanks as always
Phil

Q: I noticed that you failed to mention PPY twice when asked for gas stock recommendations. I doubt that it is because you no longer like it. PPY has outperformed while PEY has lagged. Do you think a switch is in order of all or part of my PPY holdings?

Q: I saw your recent response indicating this was ok for income. In looking at this company it appears to be US based (even though it does trade in Toronto)..so if we are using a non-registered account the dividends would not be eligible for the dividend tax credit and the investment would be considered foreign for reporting purposes...perhaps one of your members that has received dividends could confirm this? thanks!

Q: Of my two oil companies, WCP and SGY, I am even on WCP and down 35% on SGY, which is less than 2% of my portfolio. I'd like to add to my oil holdings while it appears to be trading at the lower end of a range. My gut wants to average down on Surge, but me brain says to add another holding, I'd appreciate an opinion and other option if deemed appropriate?
