Q: of all the companies listed, I currently have the same percentage of holding that is in the 5i portfolio. Which of these stocks would you be comfortable buying today and making it a 4-5 % holding as I have some cash and would like to average down. I am a young investor with a long horizon as these stocks are all in my RRSP.

Thanks

Q: Hello 5i
I just sold a small amount of Precison Drilling to recuperate a tax loss. I don't really want to keep anything like this permanantly in my portfolio but was hoping to buy it back in 30 days in order to get back at least what I paid for it. Is there any other stock that I could use as a substitute in the meantime?
thanks

Q: I recently made a switch out of HWO into BIR, as I am of the mindset that BIR should do well (better than HWO) in the upcoming months because of potential bottle-necking of supply of oil in the upcoming months (this theory was mentioned by Josef Schachter on a recent BNN appearance), as well as BIR's current price being discounted significantly from book value. My question is if I should consider starting a new position in HWO at some point in the future, because if the theory about bottle-necking of supply proves to be accurate, then a company such as HWO would benefit as demand for drilling new wells would increase in response. Thanks so much, and I look forward to your response.

Q: I hold the above in my TFSA and am down significantly on all of them. Fly is particularly concerning to me as I am down well over 50% and momentum is poor. Is it time to dump one or all even though there's no tax benefit to selling a loser? Could you suggest 2 or 3 alternatives, sector not withstanding? I hold a mix of the growth and balanced equity portfolios in our TFSA's.

Q: Hello Peter and Team,

Thanks for another year of market out performance.

I am thinking of cleaning up both RRX and HWO (which are in an non-registered account) and taking the capital losses, and consolidating the money in WCP. Can you give me the pros and cons of this switch?

Thanks for all you do.

Q: I have heard that energy service companies should benefit from the increased drilling going on. Do you have any suggestions on this?

Q: With the price of oil up, can you suggest one pure oil stock and one energy service play. I realize with oil up in price, many of our energy stocks are still not increasing in value to the discount in price we face. Looking for total growth in both names.
