Q: Hi Team, BXE (Bellatrix) seems to be the "darling" of Bay street. All analysts have hiked their target prices and portfolio managers are calling it a top pick on BNN. Many seem to think that $10 is around teh corner. This makes me weary.Would you share your thoughts? Thanks,

Q: I am hearing good things about LNG in the near future. Could you talk a little about this (time frame)and the best way to play it? If the fall and winter seasons are generally good for the drillers, do we now have 2 catalysts for companies like PD? Do you like another driller going forward?

Q: Hi Peter:
I have owned shares in SU, CNQ, CVE for awhile (over 2 years);
recently, Suncor has been outperforming the rest
I also noted that the volume of Su in NYSE has also been very active, one of the commentators at BNN said that street consensus is $ 42
Could I have your insight why SU is outperforming the rest and is the target of $ 42 is achievable in the short term of within 6 months ? thanks

Q: Hello, I am wondering about holding on to ESN. I am up over 30% and I note it is up today over 5% on no news (that I can find). I am inclined to hold on rather than take profits. I plan to hold the stock long term, 3 years plus. Any reason to sell? Thanks.Bill

Q: Hi Peter & the 5i Team,

You've said in the past that CPG isn't your favourite company in the O/G sector and I certainly agree with that assessment. Based on my results, even with the generous DRIP program and its 5% discount, and after holding CPG for several years, I'm still slightly underwater. It appears that CPG is incapable of breaking through the $40 mark. (Although it pays a hefty dividend of over 7%, its price has flat-lined).

Many analysts rate CPG as "sector outperform" or "strong buy", etc. etc., but my results certainly prove otherwise. I have (fortunately) only half a position in CPG, and bought it at that time due to its inclusion as a so-called "dividend aristocrat", and not knowing about 5i. (!) So at the present, I'm frustrated knowing I'm not reaping the benefits of an alternative O/G stock like VET.

My question is this: What "non-emotional" criteria should an investor use to determine if and when a stock should be sold?

Thanks in advance.
