Q: Hi Peter & 5i Team,

In your answer to Paul on Oct 28 regarding energy stocks, you wrote
"... we think you could silo them into (light,heavy,tar), (Nat Gas), (service/drillers)... We think you could cover all of the areas with 6 names ".

Could you please recommend your favourite 6 energy sector names for a GROWTH investor for the above 3 silos.

Thanks in advance

Francis

Q: Have held CPG for some time and have noted your comments comparing Crescent Point to others like Surge and Whitcap. Have not made the switch as had large Capital Gain position. With the pull back in Energy this tax consideration has shrunk. Would a switch at this time make sense and what Oil Co would you recommend for income and growth. I have Peyto for my Gas position. Each of these position represents 2% of my portfolio and would be long term holds

Q: Hello, I just joined and was hoping to find a report on ESI. As a dividend investor, ESI looks very attractive given it's current yield and valuation. More important, it's record of growing dividends for 19 consecutive years is hard to ignore. Yet, I hesitate. It's not just the lack of growth and the recent misses, the FCF looks problematic. Can I have your opinion? Thanks

Q: Do you think Surge Energy is worth holding at current levels given the risk of a dividend cut? I understand their hedging program but as investors continue to panic sell the yield has become noticeably high...knowing the company the way you do, what is your best advice. Much thanks as always, Curtis

Q: With just a 1% weighing in crew and the apparent stock momentum on crew, would you buy more to average down the cost. I know you prefer stocks that are going up but it seems to have some momentum.

Q: I am looking at purchasing 2000 shares of Surge Energy. This will be the one energy company in my portfolio. It will be 7% of the total investible assets. I am looking at holding for 2 years or longer. I like the dividend. I see the company released information about the low oil prices this evening, and their thoughts on this and how it will effect their investments in the future, and the safety of their dividend. What are your thoughts. New member yesterday and I am greatly impressed with your comments on Market Call yesterday. A great website.
Thank you

Q: I understand and accept the importance of a properly constructed portfolio. However, I have a lot of trouble deciding on how to set up the energy portion of my holdings - mainly because there are so many different yet excellent choices.

If assuming you want a 15% portion of the portfolio to go into energy, how does one decide to split this among light oil, heavy oil, tar sands, natural gas, service companies, drillers, explorers juniors, seniors, dividend payers etc.? All the while, keeping your total portfolio down to 20 - 25 names?

Is it just a matter of picking 3 or 4 from any of those in the sector and going with them or is there not as much correlation among the types of companies listed above as I think?

Thanks for helping to shed light on this area.

Q: Hi, there are headlines again today about forecast poor demand for oil in 2015. Do you see the next year as a period of protacted pain for Oil stocks, with the best strategy to hold off for a while in buying the sector? Or do you see the headlines as an opportunity to "buy at the time of maximum pessimism", with the best strategy to start buying now and in the next month or two during tax loss season?
