Investment Q&A

Q: Can I please get your outlook on the energy sector, and the holdings above- how would you rank them for a 1 year hold, would the ranking change for a 5 year hold?
There is the view that energy will come back to represent a larger % of the index again.

Q: Can you rank the above "cheap" Canadian Oil and Gas companies according to 12 month growth potential with the assumption of >$80 WTI and >$7 MMBtu Nat Gas (NYMEX) price ?

Q: Peter and Co, I am looking for a Canadian energy company that has good upside as well as large tax losses that could be used to offset any potential windfall taxes in Canada. I already have reasonable positions in CVE, VET, TOU and HWO.
With appreciation,
Ed

what do you think of the BTE Baytex Q1 2022 results and outlook for the remainder of 2022?
On Friday, the stock dropped 7.5% after earnings.
Was the outlook and the numbers for the rest of 2022 that bad?
Thanks Ron

Dave

Q: Could you give us your thoughts on their 1/4 please

Q: my question is on the oil stocks in general. with the market selling off, oil at 95.00 what is holding the oil stocks back. yes they are up but they are selling like oil is at 60. not 95. and will iranian oil really make a difference.dave

Q: Hi Peter/Ryan, I'm aware that CPG is not one of your favorites yet it's still up there. BTE seems to be a bit slower. I don't have any oil exposure so of the two which might be a better bet for a bit more upside and not for a long term hold. Thanks

Q: Greetings - Considering the impressive returns from the energy sector last year, the leadership of the sector so far this year, the current supply demand scenario for oil , the likelihood of greater US production, geopolitical realities, and what we might see in the next 3 to 6 months (insofar as there is any clarity that far out) 1. Is energy a 5 or 6 year investment or more likely a shorter term trade. 2. Does it seem to you that the oil price is more likely to continue to climb throughout the next 6 months rather than to recede. 3.Which 3 of these 8 listed securities offers the best upside and which 3 the least risk and thirdly if you had to pick just one to buy a full position of today which one of the eight would you personally click the buy button on and would you be comfortable doing so at the current price.
Thank you for the input - Ken

Q: The listed oil and gas companies comprise a 4% weight in my portfolios. I have been dying in oil and gas for about a decade. However, not counting the capital losses I have taken over the years, the current portfolio of legacy and new acquistions is miraculously above water. I have promised myself to never again be so exposed to the world's most manipulated commodity. If I'm going to folow though on this self-promise I need to think about liquidating some of these positions. Question: in what order would you take down these positions?
Best wishes for 2022. David

Q: Would now be an opportune time to add to my 1/4 position of Baytex? Your thoughts overall on this company compared to other energy stocks. And enjoy the holiday season and enjoy the break from our numerous questions which you answer so well!

Q: Hello 5i
I’d like your take on these 3 stocks as they’ve all displayed good momentum as of late, in their respective indices.

Thnx for your excellent service!

Q: I need to sell 2 of the above companies tied to the energy sector as a tax loss for 2021.
I am assuming WTI will rise to $85.00. Which 2 would be your choice. Would you endorse Tax loss/Rebuy strategy after 30 days for any of these securities.
Best Regards,
Harold

Q: Hello Peter & Team,

Read your Aug 4 BTE answer. Everything sounded fairly positive - reasonable cash flow generated with good expectations moving forward, debt was reduced, and you had a generally positive outlook although you did comment "we would prefer it (debt) lower."

Being just ahead of 3rd quarter reporting along with general sentiment oil could once again reach upwards to $100, I was thinking now would be a good time to add a position. I have 2010 - 2013 in mind when I did extremely well last time oil was $100+.

Do you think this is a good idea or a bad idea and why? And do you think we will see $100?

Thanks for all you do

gm

Q: Could you comment on BTE's earnings, and its debt reduction efforts?

Q: I own GXE, ATH, BTE and SGY. . With outlook for Oil going higher $ 80.00 plus which is the best play of the four. Please rank. Should I buy more of your number one pick. I watch Erik Nutall on BNN . He is very optimistic on Oil Price going higher RAK

Q: What are your thoughts on BAYTEX ENERGY (BTE) at current prices and going forward? Year end results were released Feb 24, 2021, and it appears as though there were no production surprises, and they have partially hedged their 2021 production with price protection at $45 with upside to 52/bbl. Do you have a price target at current prices? What if we see sustained oil prices at $60-65 or even further bullish (some calling for $80+). Are their names 5i prefers in its place, or are you satisfied with a HOLD on this going forward?
