Q: hello Peter and 51 team,
We enjoyed reading Peter's editorial in the January Money saver. He makes a point that your portfolio should be well diversified, has a cash cushion, and has gotten rid of the loser companies. We are well diversified, and have a cash portion. We have 2 losers that we haven't sold yet. Our question is should we sell Cenovus and Cannacord genuity? What would be a better alternative.
thank you

Q: What do you think of buying Gibson Energy for future growth and dividend payments? How safe is the dividend? Am looking for 3-5 year plan. Also, does not the commodity price tend to overshoot both up and down? I recall selling my HOD.To and SLV when silver came close to $50 and oil in 2008 or 2009 came way up when Goldman-Sachs said it was going to $200 a barrel. I recall the high overshoots were both spikes and did not last long. Do you expect the low price of oil to be a spike and return to 45-55? Thanks. A great service that you do.

SGY mean while has net buying of 2 million dollars with the CEO buying a million dollars himself. Comments please.

Q: Hi team,
Ithaca today released it's 2016 guidance,and again the Stella project that was scheduled for March is now to be completed third quarter of this year.Short term the stock price is hitting 52 week lows ,day after day. They also have edged 52% of their production at 60$ a barrel until 2017and reduced their debt by 20%.Would this now be a value play or is it still to early to look for this as a good entry point?
Thank you ,have a good day!

Q: Could you suggest a couple of companies that have strong financials and their dividend could survive if oil remains low for some time? Also with some potential for gains when oil recovers. Thinking of PSK or WCP.

Q: Hello,
I am down 74% on Surge Energy and still hanging on. I understand their debt to capital ratio is 12% which seems low so I am expecting that they should be able to survive this crisis. The insiders are buying heavily. I am thinking of buying more at the current very low price now as I really only have a half position in it. Would you agree with this thinking and strategy? I dont need the money for a few years. Or should I top up my position in Whitecap which does not have the same low debt and heavily insider buying? Thanks for your help!

Q: Hello 5i team,
I am considering at least lowering my exposure to natural resource stocks. But, i would still like to participate in a recovery. My thought is that certain companies that serve the oil and gas industry would partipate in any recovery. Companies like CP. Would you suggest any other companies that might be appropriate for such a strategy?
thanks
