Q: I wish to make my holdings in the energy sector more resilient to market turmoil and retain those holdings that have strong economic fundamentals plus pay a reasonable dividend. Can you recommend any that represent a good entry at this time.

Q: I would like your opinion as to what has been driving the price of Energy stocks down ( like CJ who has good fundamentals ) other than the price of oil and gas.
Also why is the price of oil and gas low, when demand seems relatively strong.

Q: Hi, PPL did a secondary offer for 26 million ( plus 15% overallotment option) subscription receipts, to convert to common shares at $42.85 each, to part finance the deal to buy Alliance Pipeline and Aux Sable from Enbridge. Would you recommend to participate in the offering ? Thanks

Q: Do you think renewables are a good buy currently?

Do you like NPI or do you have another recommendation?

Q: At what sustained oil price do things really start to burden TVE?
Seasonal strength in oil is approaching or is it?
Thank you for any insights you can provide.

Q: Hi

It seems that 5I's support of TVE has waned considerably. RBC has defined their forecasts as "underwhelming". With the continuous under performance over the last few quarters, are you still recommending it? I believe it will take a few years for me to get back to the price I paid for it.

Q: Can you update your thoughts on FRU?

Q: Your thoughts on purchasing LTH as a lithium developer play. Are there others you would prefer in this space?

Q: I have a full position in Tourmaline, and have held it for a few years. I am concerned about it's falling stock price. Is there a compelling reason for this, and should I lighten up on the stock?

Q: As a source of dividends, many Canadian “hydrocarbon energy” companies have a long and positive track record. Today, non-hydrocarbon energy sources have become more economically attractive, are growing quickly through significant investment, are becoming easier to support politically, and continue to improve through ongoing R&D. Against this backdrop of an accelerating shift to lower carbon energy sources…

Which Canadian “hydrocarbon energy” companies do you think are best suited to adjust to this change?

Q: Hi 5i
Re : ohns question today concerning TVE .... "TVE buy sell or hold" it appears that part of the questions was not answered.....
What price would be of interest?

Thx

Q: Hi, Energy sector has been weak for past few months, for a variety of reasons. Oil and NG prices have been drifting lower and OPEC keeps sending mixed signals. US sanctions on Russia have only produced a muted response, with their Oil finding its way to India, China and many other countries. Oil is hovering back to $70 level and still there is no sign of US ready to fill in their SPR. After a strong 2021 and 2022 (and 1st half of 2023), do you think, current weakness could be temporary and it's just a short term breather ? Or, considering the cyclic nature of the sector ( possible recession concerns ) and history, it might be time to take some profits and reduce the sector weight, from your generally suggested 10% to say 5% ? If so, would you trim equally or in any order among these holdings ? Thank You

Q: How would you think about this company, in terms of debt? Too much?

Thanks.

Q: Would appreciate your current opinion on YGR after last report. Thanks

Q: Oil and Gas is approximately 7% of my overall portfolio. Given the recent pullback in Oil and Gas stocks, would you consider this a good time to add to a number of positions? I am looking at adding to CVE, TVE and BTE.
