Q: Hello 5i team,
Under the energy sector I currently hold MCB and RRX. I am thinking of selling MCB and adding another energy company from the balanced portfolio. I was wondering which of the 3 listed would be the best in terms of growth? All three have a decent dividend but I was leaning more towards Enbridge since it is the largest and most stable of the three.

Q: This list of companies from the Balanced Portfolio were all beaten up a bit last year. Which of these do you now consider buying opportunities? Are any of these on your list to watch & discard if performance doesn't improve? If I were to add some of these to my relatively diverse portfolio, how would you order them in terms of anticipated total returns?

Q: Good morning Peter and Team,
Congratulations on the revamped website which is a pleasure to use.
I recently sold ZCL which is in my TFSA. I want to invest the proceeds into another energy stock, but also want to reduce my total number of holdings since I have too many stocks for the portfolio size. Given that we own these energy stocks: ENB, PKI, and TOG, which of these would you invest the proceeds today? BTW, in your answer to another member, you suggested he sell TOG (we're also down, and I'm frustrated in general with the oil producers) so am considering selling it as well. It's in my wife's RRSP but the loss would be offset by the stellar results received from a majority of your suggestions. (Portfolio approach!)
As always, thanks for the valued advice.

Q: Hi, I just read an article,that said the high price at the pumps were do to the refineries getting higher margins. If that is the case,and it is not the first time I heard this, then there must be some companies in Canada that are doing really good? The oil and gas sector has been down for years, getting impatient I guess.
I was thinking of selling my energy companies WCP,PEY&TOG and replacing them with refinery or related companies for more growth.
Do you agree with this switch, and could you name two or three stock that you could recommend.
Thanks,

Q: Going forward, I’d appreciate your advice as to the potential to recover on these stocks. I’m down 16% on PKI, 17% KWH.UN, 18% on VET and 23% on ENB. I appreciate the dividends, am well diversified, have a half position in all but Crius (full position) and willing to hold for an extended period of time. What do you see for each of these in the next 1 - 2 year period. I guess I’m now questioning if being well diversified (energy) will continue to work against me given that it is 9% of my portfolio and I believe you’ve recently suggested 5% is adequate at this time. Subtract as many credits as warranted. Thanks!
