Q: I have no energy exposure in my portfolio since 2014. I sold all of WCP, RRX, VET, SGY late 2014 and never went back. I am thinking about gradually stepping back into energy but not in a hurry or big way. I am a growth investor and have no issue with risks. Should I buy CNQ, SU etc big names or stay with smaller ones like WCP, VET etc. or just use an ETF like XEG? Thanks.

Q: Hello 5i,
My only oil and gas exposure is with Yangarra Resouces and I'm looking at Parex as an addition. Please comment on the pros and cons of this move. I have a well balanced portfolio and an above average risk tolerance.
Thank you

Q: Energy Sector - I am hearing that in 2020 the IMO will be enforcing ban on ships that use fuel with higher sulfur content. To take advantage of this can you recommend refiners that will benefit as well those oil companies producing more light oil. Thanks AJD

Q: Maybe - we're really going to see a sustained positive - ongoing movement in the Cdn. oil patch. That said, I'm looking short term (1 yr) for a bite into several undervalued stocks, particularly where leverage is large. Would appreciate your comments on these in order of preference as well as any others. Thank you.

Q: Hi there,

I've been out of oil for a few years now. In your opinion is now the time to get back in? Is there legs behind the recent rally? I was looking at Yangarra and Parex - do you prefer one over the other? Or another name entirely?

Thank you!

Q: I am under the impression that energy may be starting to rebound with the price of oil continuing to rise, and the outlook looking better for pricing. Gas prices are also getting very high in Canada. I have holdings in ENB, ENF, and BIR. Are than any others you would recommend, in Canada or the US, or perhaps an international energy etf, that might recover very well? I can pull some cash out of ENF to avoid being sector overweight.

Thanks

Q: Hi 5i team - I have held Surge Energy for quite a long time and it has been a disappointing stock. Even with the lower oil and gas prices there are others that have at least held their own. Are there two or three similar companies that have had a better performance record and perhaps better upside. I am planning to sell Surge and buy something that has performed better if you think this is a sensible strategy. Thanks.

Q: Hello,
first, wanted to thank you for suggesting PXT as a holding in the energy sector. Despite the ups and downs of the sector, I am up nicely since I invested in the company.
Can you provide comments on their latest quarter please? I read their press release and it seamed very positive. Did you see anything to be concerned about?
Best regards,
Dan
