Q: Hi Peter
Rock Energy is down almost 30% since its top in August and crossed already MA 200 it looks very familiar to situation from April 2011 when Rock Energy plummeted from $6.16 to $0.86. Do you think is time to sell or there is something else going on with Rock Energy.
Thanks Andrew B.

Q: CPG has been on a steady decline for the last two weeks. Right now it is sitting at $37.28, which is at the 52 week low.

I know you do not have CPG in your portfolio, but I am wondering if you can shed some light? Is CPG reflecting the movement withing the sector, or is this a sign of other more alarming issues?

Q: Hi Peter and Team

I would like your opinion on the energy sector stocks. I am as most canadians heavily into financials and insurance. present energy weighting = zero.

I am by nature conservative with investments and fundamentally a dividend oriented investor and would appreciate your advice on 3 to 5 "energy sector " stocks with good company / business fundamentals and a track record of maintaining dividend payouts, that you believe will get through the present energy sector / oil price drop. (track record of getting through previous dips and lulls in energy sector is also desired.)

depending on my "greed" scale perhaps breaking down the choices into yields > or < 5 %.

my timeline horizon is long (looking mostly to buy and hold)

Thanks

Henry

Q: With the pasting in the markets, I am looking to raise some cash to purchase some higher yielding stocks such as BTE, COS etc when they appear to be reach the bottom. Accordingly I am thinking of selling DH and MIC. Both of done nicely for me but for the most part I see limited capital appreciation opportunity with them. See anything wrong with this thought process?

Q: Watching the market drop daily and many of my "paper gains" evaporate I wonder if a few STOPS would not have been appropriate? I stay away from STOPS to avoid being stopped out in a "flash" crash.

Still sitting on the same stock I owned a month or two ago. Nothing has really changed for those companies except some panic in the markets and the price of crude oil has dropped. Fall is generally the point in the year when the price of crude oil drops and this year is no different.

Q: My portfolio weighting of VET is about 4.6% but I am currently down 11% since
this summer. If this decline is mostly commodity related and sector-specific ,
do you foresee any decrease in surplus supply with a potential share price increase during the upcoming winter season ? Do you feel that this is a long-term trend due to oversupply from shale and fracking projects?

Q: Hi,
Could you expand on your answer regarding your thoughts on the oil commodity backdrop. Charts are suggesting longer term high US $, a long US Stock cycle & a long down period for commodities. Meaning stocks like SGY, even though good on fundimentals might suffer from being in an "out of favor" sector & therefor have little upside. So your insight into how long you thing oil might be on a down cycle.

Q: Hello 5i team, can you explain the recent weakness in Delphi Energy DEE? The stock was down 6% yesterday and has fallen over 25% from recent levels, well out of line with natural gas prices. Should I put on a stop loss? Many thanks, Keith
