Q: Hi: The gas and oil sector has been on fire lately. It is also a volatile sector. I own Whitecap (WCP), Bellatrix (BXE), Baytex (BTE), Vermillion (VET) and Tourmaline (TOU) in a balanced portfolio but they have had a great increase. Should I reduce each position in half or do I have too many energy stocks and maybe I should keep two or three (which ones) and sell the others (which ones)? Your advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Dave.

Q: Crescent Point Energy is a name I've held for just over 2 years now. I was essentially even prior to the deal being announced yesterday in terms of stock price but had collected 6.5% per year in dividends. I am curious on the 5i Teams' opinion on CPG's acquisition.

On first blush I was disappointed to see them issuing shares yet again and swore I'd sell if they did that. However, my rough calculations show that, even with the share issue, they should generate more cash flow per share. So maybe its not so bad?

I'd love your thoughts!

Canadian Oil Sands, the largest stakeholder in the Syncrude production facility, is the “perfect way” to play this thesis,( rail capacity will now move massive amounts oil to world markets)

Q: I own WCP and have been considering buying POU & TOU as they were Eric Nuttall's top picks on BNN on April 17th but I am timid to do so as the RSI Index indicates that they are way over bought. He didn't think this was of concern as he says there has been huge demand for Canadian Oil & Gas stocks by US companies. Could I have 5I's thoughts on purchasing now are wait for a better opportunity? He also said he was 20% in cash?? Thanks, Bill

Q: Hi 5i team,
I am getting very close to aligning my portfolio with the Model portfolio, and note that I am overweight in energy stocks. I hold BAD, BDI,BEP.UN, FRC,CVE, ENB, and PEY for a total of 19.8% of my stocks. My tech holdings are at 16.3. Which of my energy stocks would you sell in order for me to better balance my holdings? I plan to redeploy the cash to pick up the model portfolio stocks I don't yet have FSV, CSS, and possibly STZ.

Q: Would appreciate your take on three non drill bit energy services companies: Pason PSI (instrumentation), Secure SES (waste treatment) and Canadian Energy CEU (drilling chemicals) relative to Black Diamond BDI. Technically all four are all above their 50 day MA and all have excellent gains in the last 12 month period ranging from approximately 65-155%. What is your evaluation based on their financial health, growth prospects, etc?

Q: Hello Peter and team
In your new Growth Portfolio, your weighting appears to me to be 25% Technology, only 5% Energy and 15% Basic Materials. I am weighted 11.5% Technology with CSU,ESL, MDA, and SYZ. 16% energy with VET, PEY,and BDI. VET and BAD are over just over 8% because of gains and split. My Basic Materials weight is 9% with G and RUS. Should I be reducing Energy to increase Basic Materials and Technology? My other weightings seem in line.
Would appreciate your comments. Regards Kathy

Q: Hi Peter and 5I Team;
Would you please share an opinion on Western Zagros (WZR), considering the latest results release? There seems to be good prospects for the future, but how long into the future? Would it be better to wait until there is production before investing? Do you also have an opinion on the huge amount of outstanding shares?
Thank You

Q: Hello Team
I would appreciate your opinion on IMO now. Past opinion was just OK. I read today that Ford Equity sees it as a strong buy but what would you say? I own it (4.8%) but want to sell it to buy FLOT or XHY (I want some U.S. exposure). I have bought SGY and own Enbridge and Fortis (Utilities but are they considered energy partly?)
thanks for all you do

Q: Hi, could you please comment on the new news release on Spartan? Does this now justify the current share price and leave room for growth, or do you still see the price getting ahead of the company and think there will be consolidation?
