From what I hear it should do well thru 2018, ah the crystal ball theory! Anyway your thoughts please and if so with only approx $12000. from the proceeds (if you recommend selling) what would you suggest? My thanks always, you are such a great service, we are fortunate to have you all. Maureen

Q: I own Birchcliff and at a loss currently. Debating to average down and make it a 5% holding in a diversified portfolio. I do own tourmaline which is 1% and it is down as well. So far my bet on NG is not working but if i hold on to the survivors things should turn around. Is Birchcliff worth the risk at a 5% holding assuming it can last on current prices of NG.

Q: Happy new years to you guys at 5iresearch!!! I hold positions in all of these and they have been dogs for about a year now. I am a fairly long term investor and I am wondering when I am going to see some up side to these as the oil sector seems to be recovering. Or would you suggest to let them go? Thanks for your time

Q: Thanks for the update on why weed is going up today based on the announcement in California. Why is this affecting Canadian stocks? Also, are there names in US that one can speculate on that are like weed and APH in Canada? Gas stocks in Canada seem to be tied to oil price. Lately, oil is going up but BIR and TOU hardly move. I am almost to the point of throwing in the towel for Canadian names given the political climate in Canada with regards to energy and pipelines. Any comments? Thanks again.

Q: Currently, I am down over 50% on PEY. I don't really want to sell at the bottom but am concerned about the sustainability of the dividend. I don't necessarily need the dividend, so would it be a good move right now to replace PEY with BIR?

Q: I remember, maybe 5 years ago or so Peter recomended First Service corp because it had initiated a divident, he suggested the initation of a dividend was one of the better buy signals. It made sense to me and i bought the shares at that time, and it has been a great investment

Two part question
1. Please share your thoughts on div initiation as a buy signal
2. Please share a couple of tickers that have recently initiated a dividend and could be bought today

Thanks

Q: This is a follow up to David’s question(05.12.17). If one sells PEY for a tax loss would you replace with another oil or gas company? If no, why? If yes, which companies (say 2 or 3)?
Thanks, Bryn

After being almost totally out of energy, I am thinking of getting back and looking for companies with torc to the upside.
Would you please compare TCW and TDG.
Also which would you prefer, PGF or BIR
Also a comment on SPE would be appreciated.
There are at least questions here and five companies. Please deduct 3 or 5 credits.

Q: Hi Peter,
I own the etf as well as some of the individual companies such as Canopy Growth, Medreleaf, etc My total weight is 5% (i.e. 1 percent in Canopy etc). I have done well in the short term . These stocks do not have much earnings but are going up on potential. What would you suggest? Take the profits or just sell half for now and put a stop loss on the remaining balance. Also, with oil and gas stocks, is it best to hold on for higher oil prices or simply sell and move on as it has been a while since the oil price has gone up. Thanks very much.
