Q: Reported recently & missed by .01. Based on TTM: ROE 76%, EGrowth 59% -reports Q1 15 mid May, I believe? I was thinking of waiting for these results before buying for longer hold as oil prices start increasing later in the year as long as the dividend is sustainable-pay me to wait??

Q: As a shareholder in National Oilwell Varco (NOV.us) , I received shares when NOV spun off Now Inc (DNOW.us). Shares in DNOW are worth significantly less than now. Is DNOW worth keeping?

Q: Hello 5i team,
As always, thanks for the great advice. I hold Surge at a heavy loss and have been seriously considering selling it. The problem is that it is in an rrsp account and so i cannot receive capital losses from the sale. So, i have considered simply holding and watching closely. I have the feeling, though, that i will not be able to watch it closely enough to be able to sell it if it looks like it is beginning to get into trouble. How would you approach such a situation, sell immediatly or watch for certain indicators, and if so, what indications would you find meaningful?
Thanks

Q: You would consider TCW to be a good buy now (to hold for 3 to 5 years)?
If not, what other stock would you recommend (regardless of the sector). Looking for growth with some dividend while I wait.
Thanks

Q: Hi Mr. Hodson and Team
A. I have another question related to my previous question:
I also hold the following Dividend-paying Storage and Pipeline stocks:
KEY 1.5%. ENB 1.4%. IPL 1.1%. TRP 0.5%. Total of 4.5%.

Do these belong in the Energy exposure as well? If so, do these then make our Canadian Resource exposure a total of almost 25%? (With Cpg, Arax, Bte, Eca, Vet, Bnp, Su + Cnq)

B. Which of these should i keep? Which should we eliminate or trim?
Should we bring the total Can. Resource exposure (Energy+Materials+Gold) down to 12%, as we think?
Feeling a little like deer in the headlights. Your kindness is so appreciated. sarah

Q: I have both Baytex and Surge and am down on both. I don't mind waiting for a recovery over 1 to 2 years but would I be better off to sell one or the other in order to buy Whitecap? Appreciate your advice.

Q: Imperial oil seems to be on a rise lately, what do you think is the reason? Would these gains be short term or is the strength justified? Also would now be a good time to sell some of the shares, how much higher would be a good exit price? I have held these shares for a long time and would like to reduce my position but keep waiting for the 57 to 60 dollar range. Thanks for your opinion, and your valuable service.

Q: have freed up some cash, around $100,000.00, and have inherited a portfolio worth a little over $100,000.00 but the timing stinks as a lot of it was in junior oils or oily stocks, was looking at model portfolios for the first money, i know you mentioned timing is not necessarily the issue but is now in your opinion right, so many opinions are on stay in cash right now
also, any ideas what i should do with that dog of an oil portfolio i got, i am about to gain control of it and it is fairly under water, any ideas going forward with that money?

thanks

Q: Good morning Peter and Team, To stay in the energy sector, albeit a low weighting in our portfolios, I was thinking of selling VET and buying WCP. WCP's chart certainly looks better, and their dividend is higher. Your past positive comments about WCP have also influenced me. Your thoughts on this swap? Thanks in advance.
