Q: Thank you in advance for your enlightened advice. Which seem to you the best investments. I am looking for a dividend in a non-registered account as well as growth for a term of 2 to 3 years. The weighting of my interest is 30% towards the dividend and 70% towards the growth. The companies I am looking at are:
AFN, BNS, CM, BIP.UN, CHR, ENB, EIF, FRU, MAXR, SMU.UN
Could you rank them in terms of preference and write down the ones you would avoid. Sector weighting is not a criteria.

thank you very much

Q: Could you please rank these stocks for growth assuming the sector ever improves.
Could you also do another list of just the dividend payers ranking income strength (safe and/or growing divi)

Thanks.

Q: Hi,
Unfortunately I bought some of these energy stocks back in 2014 and I am down +30% on all of these. I have just over a 5% weight currently in energy (not including ALA, ENB and TRP which I've included as part of utilities). Which do you think I should continue to hold and which ones should I just throw in the towel and sell?? I am a long term growth investor.

Q: I currently have half positions in these two companies. Can you please comment on the recent earnings reports and long term prospects? Are the dividends safe/could they grow? Time to add?

Thanks,

Q: Hi Team 5i,

I have been patiently awaiting the recovery of the O&G sector. I am under water on the list of 9 stocks listed. I have been patient and have harvested dividends and DRIPed in the meantime (bank brokerage DRIPing). But with the current US admin and shift to renewable energy sources, I am concerned that the recovery may be a long time (decades ?) away. My question is ... if I chose to sell a few of the above stocks, which do you think might be the poorist performers given the current energy environment and therefore could have the longest time to recover).

Q: I hold these energy stocks in the following percentages 5%FRU and 2% each of the others in a non-reg. acct. I plan to keep FRU and am considering selling one of the other 3 (all down about 30%). The question is am I premature in selling, or would it be prudent to wait for a bit more of a rebound, or, if selling which one would you suggest. I am a retired income oriented investor and would probably re-invest in a different sector. Thanks,
John

Q: My longest holding (20 yrs) is FRU which I have sold down over the good years, but still held some through lots of up and downs. I have held VET but eventually sold after its big run up in 2014. I am thinking of switching my remaining (and only O&G stock) FRU for VET. I invest for income, preferably with some growth prospect. However, I believe there is a possibility of CN (I think) taking FRU private and would be disappointed to miss out on the usual take over premium. Your thought would be appreciated.

Q: 5i I need help in Rebalancing my RRIF. Maybe I am too attached to my stocks. I asked about BIP and BEP and you indicated my energy sector at 22% of my RRIF was high and I agree. I need less volatility but do require income. Of the 22% CPG-T =10%, FRU-T =30%, PPL=35%,SGY=8%, VSN=12% and WCP=5%.I like everyone, require your wisdom.
