Q: I hold approx 5% of my portfolio in O&G, and this is split 60/40 between Imperial Oil/Whitecap. Historically, I have found IMO relatively safe. However, with IMO now at a disappointing 5 year low, would you recommend selling it and replacing it with either more WCP or with another O&G such as SU or CNQ? Thank-you.
