Q: Hello 5i,
In light of current status with oil and gas markets and what now most likely will be prolonged high prices, could you suggest two or three junior or mid cap O&G producers that might currently have greater upside opportunity than the larger producers.
Thank you so much for so many years of very sage advise.
Ralph

Q: Hi there,

Surge Energy, it is more of an oil play or a natural gas play. Do you see upside on Surge Energy as the current events is driving up energy cost. Also, the market is bullish on natural gas, do you agree.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to answer my question.

Q: Hello team,

I'm considering selling Apple at a large profit and deploying elsewhere.
I want to offset some gains with some losses.
Losers in order are:
DRX
SGY
BCE (small amount held in my non-reg)
Selling all is fine with me so I can balance out my Apple gains. What do you think about selling these names and what are a couple of your favourite US and CAD stock for new money?

Q: I have only ENB in energy stocks and am looking to add a basket of stocks with at least a 5% dividend, but also looking for capital appreciation. With the dividend, I don't mind waiting for the appreciation. Do you see any red flags with any of these, and how would you make up a 5% position? Would you sub any other energy stock with a 5%+ dividend?
