Q: quite a few stocks in the oil and gas sector have been going up and I am under water on them all but the weight is quite small and wonder if better to sell them in the momentum or ride it up and then once a downturn sell or average down to bring the weight higher and hang onto them. If I sold these stocks I could then add to my other holdings(non oil and gas stocks) to bring their weight higher.
Thanks
Dolores

Q: What do you think of RMP's latest results and is it worth bragging about record production at $30 oil? Is this a candidate for a snapback in a steadily improving market if I were to hold it for a few years?
Thanks.

Q: Can you tell me what is happening with WEQ. I bought a huge position (in an account I call VEGAS)at 0.22 and wonder if it will ever get back to its highs in 10 years. They were tied to oil and gas but have shifted to other industries (Movie rentals, Permanent Modular, Passive House Construction etc.) How do the debentures play out? Do you know the management?

Q: Hi there, I am interested in following your Balanced Equity Model and will be purchasing all 20 of the names in the portfolio and had a few questions. Do I purchase 5% in each of the 20 names, or following the allocation in your provided spreadsheet? And I am going to be splitting up the portfolio between my TFSA and RRSP- about a 12 names in my TFSA and 8 in my RRSP, could you please recommend which you would purchase in each account for optimal potential returns? Thanks and have a great day!

Q: Dear 5i team:
I would like to consolidate my rather scattered (but half decent I think !) energy stocks as that sector seems to be coming alive.
I have ARX,CNQ,SU,ERF,HSE,CPG,HWO. Any suggestions which ones to sell and buy more in this list? If you think I am better off with some other stock(s)from the energy sector, can you highlight them for me? I buy dividend payers mostly though these folks have cut their dividends!
Thank you for your measured response as always!

Q: With input from Newalta's year end report (March), would you recommend holding NAL for the chance of a turn-around when oil prices recover or sell NAL and move on? As you've said the risk of a profile has changed. My NAL position is now 0.1% of the portfolio and down 86%.

Thanks for your excellent insights.

Q: Hello, I don't understand why oil continues to go up when there hasn't been any good news and there is more oil in storage than ever before? Stocks like BTE and WLL are up between 12 and 18 percent today. Is this an example of the market not making any sense? Or is there a good reason for the rally?
