Q: Hello Peter,
I have a 2.5% portfolio weight in energy stocks, constituting of HWO (down -33%) PONY (-76%) RRX (-31%) TOU (-53%) and WCP (-41%).
Should I sell all and crystallize the loss for tax purposes or are there any that you would suggest holding on? What percentage of the portfolio would you allocate to energy at this time and perhaps suggest 3-5 names in order of preference that I could invest either now or 30 days later when I can buy my tax loss divestment.
As always your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Regards

Q: I have held Summit for a bit over a year and been happy with it - but - this is the third equity offering in 12 months, which is becoming rather frustrating. Does this seem excessive for a company of this size and in this sector? Could you comment on their debt, payout, this latest offering and the company in general? I hold it mainly for sector exposure and income.
Thank-you

website.DFN pays a lower dividend,but has a bigger cushion in it's NAV.I think these are excellent vehicle for income as long as you keep track of the NAV value!!
