Q: Hit "enter" to fast on my last question. Looking for some ideas with the understanding you can't offer direct recommendations. I have 40 K to add to my non-reg account. I have full positions in all the pipelines, OLY, GWO, BNS, CU, NPI, BIR, PEY, TPZ, CNQ, PRL and BMO. I have no need for any income for at least five years, not opposed to going overweight if necessary, have lots of higher yielders so would perhaps benefit from some choices with capital gain and dividend growth potential versus just high yield.

Q: I own CNQ (largest position), OXY, and CHORD in my trading accounts. I am down quite a bit in CHORD since the Enerplus merger.

I don't really have that much exposure to natural gas stocks at the moment. Would it make sense to sell CHORD, claim a capital loss, and buy something like PEY, TOU, or BIR?

Q: I'm looking to add some shares of PEY for more exposure to natgas with a good yield. The price has done quite well lately and I'm hesitant to buy in. I'm wondering if I should pick something else that's been a bit more beat up like BIR, or PNE. I'm a younger (39) long term investor living off of yield.

I am up 20% on BIR, 10% on PEY and way up on TOU as I bought it in the $5.00 range back in the depths of the oil and gas collapse. TOU represents 6% of my portfolio while PEY and BIR are about 1% each. I LOVE my dividends…….do I continue to hold all three or consolidate into TOU? After TOU’s takeover of CR, is one or both of BIR and PEY next?
