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: I currently have a 12% weighting in Energy. 60% of which is split between ENB and PKI as my core holdings and the remaining 40% split between VET, WCP, TOG, RRX and CJ. I am comfortable with the ENB and PKI but I am wondering if I should make any changes to the other 5 holdings. Drop one or two of the weakest and concentrate on the remaining 3 or 4 stronger names? Trim all 5 and add another name? I am hoping the oil rally continues and I want to be in the best position to take advantage of it.
Many Thanks
Scott

Q: HI PETER, I have all these 4 and all are down from buy price ( in varying %), Do you recommend adding new money to this sector. If so, which would be preferred? Would you suggest keeping all 4 or can be consolidated to 3 . Please rank best first. \thanks
Q: Good Morning Peter, Ryan, and Team,
One of my portfolios closely tracks the Balanced Equity Portfolio holdings. However I have substituted STN for WSP thinking that STN will get it going at some point. Also I have split the allocation to energy producers between WCP and PEY so that I have light oil as well as gas exposure. I would appreciate your expert opinion of these substitutions. Thank you very much. DL

Q: Hello all
I am zero invested in oil and gas right now.
I have a bit of room in RSP account and thinking of taking one oil stock with a decent dividend for a long term hold. Purchasing right away so today’s prices are in play.
Either Vermillion or White Cap fit I think, thoughts on those or another option would be appreciated.

Q: Can you give me your thoughts on Whitecaps earnings? Seems like another not great quarter aside from decent revenue and production growth. Share price is down a couple percent more than its peers today. But I'm more concerned with the long term trend, it has been weak to say the least. At one point I was up about 25% on WCP when oil prices were much lower than they are now. WCP doesn't seem to be participating in the oil price recovery like many of its peers, possibly due to its acquisitions. I understand its a quality company with an okay div that was just increased. But if one wants to play the oil price recovery which is a little risky, don't you want to invest in a company with some torque that will actually benefit rather than take the risk for little reward. CVE for example has done great and also has a div (little smaller). Should I sit tight and wait for better results or lessen my position and add a company that has shown results the last few quarters?

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: With price of oil rising for a logical reason (low supply) which oil companies do you recommend for 1 year growth?
Also, I have a half position in WCP, should I go for a full position?

Q: Do you think this current oil rally is sustainable,I believe seasonally we are coming into a weak time of the year.Do you think because of all the projects around the world that have either been deferred,cancelled or scaled back,do you know of any numbers that would support the fact that the surplus could become a possible shortage due to lack of new barrels coming online and what we be your top oil pick be for growth and dividend regardless of cap size thanks for your great professional service
Q: I seek your thoughts on the following: my portfolio is constructed to a max weighting of 4% per holding. As I am retired I now have a minimum 3% div payout requirement. I am a 30 plus year investor in the markets and not shy on a slightly higher volatility and risk. I have been out of oil and gas totally over the past few years. I am looking at entering a small to mid cap producer. Cardinal certainly meats the div need but I am concerned about its viability to maintain it. Whitecap is around 3.5% yld and I have held it in the past. It is much larger, but which one do you think has the most capital growth from here, and is the most sound investment or would you go into both? thank you
Q: In the past years, I trimmed my position in oil and gas to only 5% in each WCP and VET. I am wondering what your sentiment on the sector is going forward, and if I should add a third position, possibly RRX. Looking mainly for growth.
