Q: Essential Energy Services, ESN reported yesterday. Earnings per share missed estimates by 1 penny for the year. I hold this stock for the 4.5% dividend yield and expected 5 to 10% capital appreciation over the next two to three years. The balance sheet appears to be very strong and I assess the downside risk over the two to three years to be minimal. I would appreciate your assessment of my reasoning. Thanks for your help.

Q: Good afternoon 5i.
I have held CPG for several years now and while I have waited patiently for some upward movement in stock price, it continues to hover around the high $30's to $40 range. I am underwater by $2-3. I know from your comments to others that you are not a big fan of CPG. I am thinking of switching to BTE. I wouldn't give up much in yield, and I am thinking that there may be some good futurestock price value from the recent shale oil acquisition in Texas.
I'd appreciate your thoughts on this before I proceed. Brian

Q: Hi Peter and team. This is the 2nd time I heard someone mention an income portfolio. Has the 5i team published another portfolio, other than the model portfolio, I am not aware of? I remember last year you guys mentioned the possibility of starting a growth portfolio. Any updates on than front?

Lastly, I have zero oil/gas exposure. I was thinking of increasing my monthly income stream and getting a little growth as well by adding a combo of whitecap resources (wcp), torc oil and gas (tog) and surge energy (sgy). I was thinking, initially, these 3 names will collectively make up between 4% and 6% of my portfolio. Do you see anything wrong with the combination of these three names? I see torch sold off today after they released their earnings.

Thanks again and safe travels.

Q: Hi - Gear Energy GXE just released an update and indicated a NAV of $4.23 I noted they are trading right at this price - my question is what is a typical price to NAV ratio in this sector and in this case would GXE be considered under valued? Thanks -terrific service you provide.

Q: Good Morning Peter, I have an 11% weighting in the oil and gas sector divided between five companies. This includes both ECA and TLM. I am significantly underwater on both of these stocks. Is it time to take my loss and replace with one of Vermillion or Tourmaline or some other company? I also hold FRC. Would you hold or replace that one as well?

Q: Hi Peter and team,
There was a massive sell-off today (-20%) in DCK (Donnycreek energy)the reason being they had to temporarily suspend testing due to detecting a higher than average level of Hydrogen Sulphide. Do you feel this sell-off was overdone and would these shares be a good buy at this time.

Thanks

PS looking foward to ESL and AVO earnings after the close today
