Q: Hi Team,
With the recent slump in some of these oil names, do you see a name like WCP being bought out by a bigger company such as CVE that operate in some of the same area? You would think M&A would start happening with valuations where they are on some of these names. CVE with a P/E of 10.9, and WCP only having a P/E of a mere 2.0 (according to my trading platform numbers). This all being said, is it time to buy some of these high quality mid cap oil names that have been hit recently? Your comments are appreciated.

Q: Hi 5i
I own both TVE and WCP and have done OK with each. However, except from what might be available from those two holdings I don't have any exposure to natural gas, a commodity that is getting lots of attention these days. To remedy that, I'm considering parting ways with TVE and hooking up with BIR.
In your opinion, is natural gas production worthy of pursuit at present and, if so:
(1) is BIR a good vehicle for that pursuit and
(2) on strictly a growth basis would you expect BIR to outperform TVE over the next year or so, and why or why not?
Thanks and I look forward to your response.

Q: For a minimum 2 year hold please rate the above for anticipated overall return in order of preference and briefly why
Q: Hey 5i: I am overweight with whitecap and down 5% in the 9$ range ,could use for tax loss but like the dividend. Would definitely sell at 10$ but also would be fine breaking even because I may need this money in the next 8months to a year.With this in mind do you like it as a hold considering needing the money is not a certainty. Tough call but appreciate your input.Tks. Larry

Q: Hi. I own these oil stocks and have to get rid of two or three. Which three would you sell first and in what order? Thanks Paul
Q: Hi Guys,
I’ve owned Whitecap for a long time. Management seems to be doing all the right things and they’ve had a great q2 report, but the stock continues to languish…when do you think the market will start to show this stock some love?
Thanks!

Q: Thanks to your wonderful Portfolio Tracking and Analysis, I know that Energy makes up 11.07 % of my portfolio. Your statistical recommendation is that energy should be 5 % of my personalized portfolio. In order of rate of return, I have Tourmaline Oil, Enbridge, Whitecap, Suncor, Athabasca and Tamarack Valley. I am more heavily weighted in Tourmaline and Enbridge but my question is twofold. Am I really overweight in energy at this time and if so other than trimming from my two big winners, which two or three companies would you eliminate to pare back closer to 5%? The proceeds would go to buying ATD.b and Loblaws. Thanks for this wonderful service.

Q: Hi Peter, Ryan and 5i team,
You answered Maureen's question about TOU and TPZ as follows:
"We like both, but would consider TOU more of a growth story and TPZ more for income. We would be comfortable with a swap if that matches an investors' objectives."
How would you answer if WCP was the stock I'm considering to sell (not TPZ) in order to buy more TOU? (I realize that WCP is more of a growth story, but it's quite a bit more volatile than TOU.)
Thanks for your insight.

Q: Between CJ and WCP which one is more likely to attain a higher combined return for a three year hold?
At the moment CJ (7.7%) has a much higher yield than WCP (5.00%). Are these rather high yields sustainable over a three year run?

Q: Good Morning,
I have stayed away from Oil and Gas during the current resurgence having been been burned badly in the past.
The sector, however, has become very hard to ignore.
What would be your top 2 - 3 picks for a conservative retired income investor?
Thanks very much.

Q: A friend told me WCP's operating margin is 118%, is that normal for O&G companies?
What would be the usual industry range for such a number? How can companies survive in the long haul if their revenue can not cover their cost of goods sold and operating expenses?

Q: I own SU and looking to add to energy in unregistered account. WCP looks very good now. What do you think or is there a better one in your opinion? Thanks again.
