Q: Dear Peter and team,

On your advice, I combined (on paper) my unregistered and registered accounts to check for weightings, and was appalled at my energy weighting which was much greater than you recommend and than I thought. I need advice about what to cut to reduce it. My holdings, with percents, are as follows: CNQ 3.2; FRU 4.7; IPL 7.8; NPI 3.5 (TFSA down 13%); PKI 5.1; BEP.UN 3.9. Can I count IPL as a utility? What about FRU? Both have great dividends.

Many thanks for your truly splendid service. I look forward to my daily 5i research "hit."

Q: Thanks for answering my question about IOC but I was actually referring to Inter Oil Corporation IOC on the US not Iron Ore Company. Can you revise the comment on that instead. There was a news that Teck was bidding for them. Why would they bid for an oil and gas company?

Q: Hi 5i,

Your thoughts on GPE (Great Prairie Energy Services)? Seems like a very cheap growth company with solid management and board. Your thoughts? Would you recommend this for an early stage, high risk / high reward stock?

Q: I bought Suncor (SU) a few years ago and it went down about 40%, but this year it is doing much better. I'm only down about 13% and it is continuing to improve. Do you think I should continue to hold this long term or should I be swapping it for another stook in the same sector like tourmaline?

Q: Can you comment on Enerplus's (ERF)latest earnings. Aside from Mart (MMT) it is my only other oil holding. I have held positions in both for a long time and while I have a nice gain in ERF I am underwater in MMT while I have waited patiently for their new pipeline to be constructed.( I am reluctant to dump MMT because of this) Should I stay the course with both or would you recommend selling for something else?

Q: Hi Peter and team, I have held PWT and LTS for several years and am down about 75% in both. I also own CPG which is about even. All three have good assets but seem to go nowhere. Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks for the great service.

Q: Hello wonderful 5i team,

I would appreciate your input on Athabasca Oil (ATH). It had a nice spike today in price. Did they settle with the First Nations on the Dover project? Do you think thre company still has some up potential and would it be better to hold on and ride the momentum? This stock represents 5% of my portfolio. Originally purchased at $6.40. Thanks.

Q: Hi Peter and Team, I'm considering switching out of Bonterra, BNE, for Surge, SGY, plus Whitecap, WCP. May I please have your in-depth analysis and thoughts on this switch? Looking for better and faster growth (and dividend growth) compared to BNE within the sector. BNE is still struggling to reach (let alone pass) its 2011 share price high! Thanks!
