Q: I added to my shares of pne with the recent pullback in energy. Would like to trim shares when shares are up more, thinking this would be my way of generating dividends from the stock. I have problem with timing when to trim my position. I tend to be all over the map. Could you give advice on this?

Q: Hello.
I read on BNN that Penn West (PWT.TO) is seeing some aggressive insider buying. What are your thoughts? Stock is inexpensive ($4.76) with a whopping 11.75% dividend. Sustainable?

Q: I just looked at the 5 year chart for this company after it dropped yet again today.
I know you have looked at it and apprently there is no "news" to justify this degree of downward momentum.
However, no other time period in the last 5 yers comes remotely close to this kind share price decline for WEQ.
In your experience, when you see this kind of dramatic sell off do you often find that it turns out to be insiders or folks close to insiders selling on information that the rest of us do no have access to?
I have held this company for many years and done well by it, but now my instincts smell a "rat". Am I justified in feeling this way?

Thanks for another learning experience.

Q: Hi Peter and Ryan, with this supposedly glut of oil is there any reason to be holding service stocks and frackers at this time? Would you consider PD and CFW a buy, sell or hold at this time.

Thank you

Q: Hello 5i,
I’m not happy with Canadian Oil Sands (cos) and Ensco PLC (ESV) in my portfolio and would like to sell for less volatile names. On the Canadian side I’m looking at buying Vermilion Energy (VET) or Pembina Pipeline (PPL) or possibly Enerplus Corp (ERF). On the US side Kinder Morgan (KMI) or China Petroleum & Chemical (SNP) or Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.B.

What do you think of this move and which ones are your favorites.

Thanks,

Q: Hello Peter & Co,
I own BTE, CPG, HWO, TOU, VET and WCP in the energy sector (10%) of my RRIF portfolio. I'm thinking of selling CPG (some profit) and BTE (some loss) and shifting the proceeds to the other 4; thus keeping the sector weighting intact.
Your thoughts?
Thanks
Tony

Q: Good Morning 5i,

There are reports that the price of oïl could hit $50 by early next spring seasonal down trend. I am holding 5% of my portfolio of each in CPG,SGY and FRU. All of them are for the dividend. Also, I hold ECA (5% of the protfolio) for growth.

Since, the reports are saying price decrease, what would be the strategie for me at this time. Naturally I am under water on all of those stocks. Selling for tax season would be one strategy and the other is hold on to get the dividends.

Do you have any other strategy? Am I too heavy weitghed in the sector?

Thanks

Paul
